They tried to take the photo in Freedom’s Foyer but Boehner’s prone, vomit-smeared body was blocking access…

In the year 2075, this will hang in the official portrait galleries. God have mercy on us.

Looks like Mittens cut off 47% of Janna Ryan’s face.

Why did I look at the photo? Now the dead eyes of Ann Romney will haunt my dreams.

imkmu3 · October 29, 2015, 4:56pm

But where is Rafalca?

beattycat · October 29, 2015, 4:57pm

OMG, I had totally forgotten Ryan was Romney’s running mate. Real memorable duo, there, eh?

mantan · October 29, 2015, 5:00pm

Ann’s wearing her…

beattycat · October 29, 2015, 5:01pm

I wonder if Pope Francis told Boehner what a sin, that alcohol(ic) gluttony?

beattycat · October 29, 2015, 5:01pm

A little glue behind each ear?

imkmu3 · October 29, 2015, 5:01pm

Ouch.

mantan · October 29, 2015, 5:09pm

What, $40 mil for a selfie with an asterisk Speaker?

“Romneybot 3000 feeling pleasure. Must ask programmers for more of this. Now I know how Mr. Data felt on “Descent” episode.”

(A little Star Trek:NG geekyness for you:)

Oodles and oodles of conservative Republicans thought selfies were terrible when President Obama did it, but when Republicans are doing it, not so much.

Who thought it was awful? Well, let’s see a list from Buzzfeed:

Heather Childers
Michelle Malkin
Elizabeth Hasselbeck
Greta van Susteren
Jim Geraghty
Marc Thiessen
Brian Kilmeade
Todd Starnes

And Janna was SUPPOSED to be in the kitchen making Eddie Munster some pie.

I think this just killed the “selfies are cool” thing.

fargo116 · October 29, 2015, 5:48pm

Hey! Where’s the Dancing Horsie?

Did Mittens cut off the Dancing Horsie?

arrrrrj · October 29, 2015, 6:08pm

Please, Eddie Haskell – use the classic-tv reference that captures the smarmily polite cover for the duplicitous soul, not just the hairline.

BTW, surely I’m not the only one who thinks Mitt sees Jeb!'s collapse as his chance to get back in, right? I mean, what was he even doing there?

The Bromance is back on and all is well in right wing world. Except for the woman wearing her head on her shoulder.

They thought ‘selfies’ were an abomination until THEY learned how to do it.

Eddie Munster and Mittens–what a team!
