Mitt Romney: Pink Slipper

By Daniel Rigney

Quarter-billionaire Mitt Romney (or “Rich Mitch" to his friends) said today that he’s been worried in the past about being handed a pink slip. Fear of unemployment has been the Bain of his existence.

I’m more concerned about the pink slips of the employees of firms he chop-shopped as the head of Bain Capital in Boston.

Romney also said recently that he enjoys firing people who provide him with services. Don't believe me? Bet me $10,000.

Romney’s problem isn’t that he could get pink slipped. It’s that he himself is a pink slipper.

I feel your pain, Mitch. So do millions of Americans. We’ll send you an electoral sympathy card in November.

It's one thing to pretend you fly like the hoi poloi, but it's another to lie that you fear pink slips. The only pink slips he fears are the ones in his Scrooge-like nightmares, for all the pink slips he's given. The multitude of Romney's fired ghosts are haunting him.
