We have been meticulously chronicling the post-election life of Mitt Romney, and by “meticulously” we really mean “not really, but we’re pretty shocked that this guy shows up in so many awkward situations.” But he does. So we do.
And so, this weekend, there was yet another entry into our “what is Mitt Romney doing now” files: Saturday, Romney attended the much-anticipated rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as a guest of the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Defeated presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a guest ringside Saturday night at the fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.
Romney also visited with Pacquiao in his dressing room before the fight, wishing him well in the bout.
Pacquaio is actually a Congressman in the Philippines and has designs on one day running for President. For that, Mitt Romney had excellent, and also remarkably sad, advice.
“Hello Manny. I ran for president. I lost,” Romney told the fighter.
Someone please get this man a ProZac.
Mitt Romney will be fine—it’s the rest of us who will need Prozac to deal with another four years of President Alinsky.
I think it’s neat that Romney goes out and does stuff. At least it’s on his own dime, and of course, he’s not doing it in lieu of taking that 3AM phone call from our consulate in Benghazi, like President What’s His Name.
And when he went to CostCo, he pushed his own shopping cart—unlike Lunchpail Joe Biden, who appears to have had a black woman pushing his cart around the CostCo store for him.
Imagine the firestorm that would have erupted if those CostCo optics had been reversed.
I get the feeling he’s feeling as numb as the rest of us are.
