He got all dolled up for a very special edition of “Sabado Gigante”. He was in a sketch on the show where he repeatedly bonked a Mexican version of Big Bird over the head, mistaking it for a pinata and/or government overspending.
I know it’s an election cycle, so we try to politicize everything, but there’s no reason to say a picture of poorly-lit John Travolta is “Mitt Romney.”
I think the painting only keeps the subject young and perfect looking if it starts off as a good likeness. Unless this is meant to keep some kind of carnival-barker alternative-reality Mitt Romney alive through [whatever his next 4-8 years hold for him], I don’t think it’s gonna work.
Hahaha, finette – Bobby Jindal was my first thought when I saw that! The horrible, horrible governor of my state, unfortunately. He’s even worse than Mittens.
Mine too. The only possible benefit to Mitt winning was the possibility that he would take Bobby away as VP. But apparently they want him more for Secretary of Education anyway. (Seriously!!!!!)
haha-yeah lucky me-Mittens WAS gov in my state-dark times I tell you-but the one good thing he did was the health care stuff-too bad he’s backpedaling on that now
Actually, my sons and I have had the theory that he’s a fairly well-made AI. The problem is that whoever put him together forgot to include the empathy and logic modules.
Maybe this painting was commissioned by the Romney campaign to help boost his terrible image abroad. I could totally picture this on the side of a building in Bhopal, India.
Well, I won’t really show you all in person, because I have no license or car and my Mom has to drive me everywhere, but I may be able to show you all with sock puppets or something!
And when you say you’ll show us with sock puppets, please put the sock puppets on your hands, ok? We don’t want a repeat of the Dollar Store parking lot incident, do we?
Everyone laughed when Judy hit Punch at the base of his club and the club shrank. Then things got awkward. Good thing the house is more than 1000 feet from Dollar Store.
If Emmett Kelly had unlimited money, a carefree life, a yacht to get tan on and an utter disregard for for anyone less fortunate than he is. And was a zombie.
THAT’S IT!!! I was digging in my brain for who it was! Joe Fucking Isuzu! I’d know that shit-eating grin anywhere! Thank you. That would’ve bugged me for days.
I would like to point out that this Obama portrait is both made in American and made in the USA. In case you thought it was made somewhere else, like, say…Kenya.
I love all the detail about the canvas on the posting for the original painting. So now we know this crap is painted on canvas that is “Acrylic Titanium Double Primed With Acid Free Sizing and Kiln Dried Stretcher Bars.” That just makes me want to spend $125 for it all the more.
Ohh I read his bio. He is a full time painter. He loves faces. He loves to paint and share it with the world. Now I feel sorry for him and his grand delusions.
I call my gall bladder Mitt Romney. It’s been playing up for two years and is coming out on the 25th. Somehow I imagine this is just what the surgeons will find.
October 11, 2012 at 10:02 am
If Mitt’s skin really were that color, I’m thinking things would be a WHOLE lot different.
October 11, 2012 at 10:03 am
And here, Mittens is trying to capture the coveted state of California by blending in with the locals.
October 11, 2012 at 10:04 am
Who is the woman in that second pic? Yeesh.
October 11, 2012 at 10:06 am
She’s that lovely Jersey mom who took her tot to the tanning salon!
October 11, 2012 at 10:39 am
Isn’t her name Corine Thianleather?
October 11, 2012 at 11:16 am
Ya had to remind me of Tan Mom and Mittens in the same post. I am now going off to be sick in the corner.
October 11, 2012 at 10:04 am
I think that’s Mitt from that faux-tan Spanish news appearance he did. Que pasa, Mittens?
October 11, 2012 at 10:38 am

What did the busty girls in the tight dresses with ridiculous cleavage represent? Oh, right. Stimulus.
October 11, 2012 at 11:15 am
And the clowns on donkeys throwing tamales at them represented his insane running platform.
October 11, 2012 at 10:06 am
At first, I thought this was a really bad painting of Val Kilmer. What a bummer that it’s just a really bad painting of Mitt.
October 11, 2012 at 11:04 am
I saw Jerry Seinfeld in there at first. These things are the Regretsy equivalent of a Rorshach test!

“Certificate of authenticity included with purchase.”
What would be the element of this piece that needs to be authenticated?
October 11, 2012 at 10:24 am
They still have the receipt that proves the frame came from the DollarTree.
October 11, 2012 at 10:40 am
I hope they still have the receipt that came with the camera and/or art lessons.
October 11, 2012 at 2:36 pm
I kinda like the frame, because it has balls.
October 11, 2012 at 10:41 am
I think Mitt himself needs to come with a certificate of authenticity.
October 11, 2012 at 10:43 am
I think most printers would reject such a document.
October 11, 2012 at 11:57 am
No one would be willing to stake their reputation certifying anything about him.
October 11, 2012 at 12:08 pm
I think you’d have to travel to the factory in China where he was assembled.
October 11, 2012 at 12:33 pm
And that factory would be – Foxconn??? Too eerie!

October 11, 2012 at 10:22 am
It really is a spot-on regretsy math here. Kudos to that.
October 11, 2012 at 10:25 am
Looks more like Will Ferrell channeling Emmett Kelly Jr. to me.
October 11, 2012 at 10:34 am
I saw a zombie Will Farrel in a real estate agent photo.

Been a while, person in charge of adjusting OJ Simpson for the cover of TIME magazine. Hue prankster, hue.
October 11, 2012 at 10:42 am
So they decided to give him one more shot?
October 11, 2012 at 11:28 am

I liked it better when you said ““¡Hola, Muchachos!”” more than the time you said “¡Hola, Muchachos!” because it was more punc.

If any of you mom’s-basement-livin’ no-talent-havin’ into-your-cheetos-cryin’ losers buys this before my paycheck comes in I will slaughter something.

I’m just gonna say I sob off to the side of my cheetos so they don’t get soggy! So – YOU DON’T KNOW ME!
October 11, 2012 at 11:22 am
And it’s no basement! It’s more of a crawlspace! SO THERE!!
October 11, 2012 at 11:43 am
And it’s my stepmom’s house. OK, the woman my “dad” is currently taking advantage of. NOW WHAT?
October 11, 2012 at 11:46 am
And I have talent! I can burp most of the Spongebob Squarepants theme if I’ve had enough Mountain Dew!
October 11, 2012 at 11:55 am
And it’s actually knock-off brands, not the real stuff. “Butte Sweat” soda and “Agent Orange Crunch”. I’ll show you all, someday!

October 11, 2012 at 12:26 pm
But our video of it got like 150,000 views on youtube! You don’t want to do our Dirty Punch n’ Judy routine anymore?
October 11, 2012 at 12:39 pm
Everyone laughed when Judy hit Punch at the base of his club and the club shrank. Then things got awkward. Good thing the house is more than 1000 feet from Dollar Store.
October 11, 2012 at 12:45 pm
They extended the “shame radius”? I thought the restraining order said it was 500ft!
October 11, 2012 at 12:56 pm
D’oh! I confused that with “shame diameter”! No more pi for me.
October 11, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Doesn’t matter. I never took the wheels off my trailer, so I can roll when the Sheriff comes a callin’.
October 11, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Your trailer has a crawlspace?
October 11, 2012 at 1:36 pm
It IS a crawlspace. On wheels. The whole thing’s like 3 feet tall. I mostly crawl around inside it.
October 11, 2012 at 10:53 am
There’s something so canned about this expression.
October 11, 2012 at 1:11 pm
“Yes we can” or “yes we can”?
October 11, 2012 at 10:58 am
Sooo, I guess Romney’s going to join Tan Mom’s Olde Time Minstrel Show. Wait ’til he whips out his banjo!
Oh. And Tan Mom whips out her bajingo.
I’ll leave quietly…
October 11, 2012 at 11:13 am
October 11, 2012 at 11:13 am
It immediately reminded me of Emmett Kelly when I saw it. A zombified Emmett Kelly, that is.
October 11, 2012 at 11:20 am
If Emmett Kelly had unlimited money, a carefree life, a yacht to get tan on and an utter disregard for for anyone less fortunate than he is. And was a zombie.
October 11, 2012 at 11:56 am
I award you 47% of my thumbs for that comment.
October 11, 2012 at 1:01 pm
That will only leave you with one thumb and a thumbnail! But you could loan it to the ring guy from yesterday for a photo backdrop.
October 11, 2012 at 11:52 am
I also thought of Emmett Kelly . But a portrait on a carnival ride.
October 11, 2012 at 11:39 am
The nose is what sells it for me. It’s like that weird cauliflower nose W.C.Fields had.
This is one of the strangest paintings I’ve ever seen. There isn’t a single feature that says “Mitt Romney” on it. Anywhere.
October 11, 2012 at 11:46 am
The subject does have a certain Joe Isuzu elan, however.
October 11, 2012 at 12:00 pm
THAT’S IT!!! I was digging in my brain for who it was! Joe Fucking Isuzu! I’d know that shit-eating grin anywhere! Thank you. That would’ve bugged me for days.

And another Obama, as well as a second take on Mitt…..oy vey.
October 11, 2012 at 12:07 pm
The Obama one looks like Don Cheadle…
October 11, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Wait–Obama was in Blazing Saddles?!
October 11, 2012 at 5:19 pm
(RIP, ‘Mongo’) *sniff*
October 11, 2012 at 12:11 pm
I would like to point out that this Obama portrait is both made in American and made in the USA. In case you thought it was made somewhere else, like, say…Kenya.
October 11, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Obama looks dead in this one, but not as bad as Mitt -
no Emmett Kelley.
October 12, 2012 at 12:34 am
Well, the skin tones, while not GOOD, are not AS egregiously off on that one.
October 11, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I love all the detail about the canvas on the posting for the original painting. So now we know this crap is painted on canvas that is “Acrylic Titanium Double Primed With Acid Free Sizing and Kiln Dried Stretcher Bars.” That just makes me want to spend $125 for it all the more.
October 11, 2012 at 2:35 pm
He’s reading it off the canvas packaging!
October 11, 2012 at 12:23 pm
Ohh I read his bio. He is a full time painter. He loves faces. He loves to paint and share it with the world. Now I feel sorry for him and his grand delusions.
October 11, 2012 at 2:36 pm
That’s what his boss made him type.
October 11, 2012 at 8:39 pm
Is that what the voices prefer to be called?
October 11, 2012 at 12:35 pm
I call my gall bladder Mitt Romney. It’s been playing up for two years and is coming out on the 25th. Somehow I imagine this is just what the surgeons will find.
October 11, 2012 at 8:37 pm
Hopefully after that it will never be heard from again.
(Best of luck with your surgery
)
October 12, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Thanks.
Afterwards I hope the surgeon will comply with the instructions on my organ thrower card and chuck it at the editor of the Daily Mail.
October 11, 2012 at 1:06 pm

I think it looks like someone set John Stamos’s face on fire then tried to put it out…hence the swelling and burnt toast effect.
October 11, 2012 at 11:01 pm
Surely I was not the only one who thought this was a painted tribute to Robert Downey, Jr’s character from Tropic Thunder, right?
October 12, 2012 at 4:04 am
I thought Will Farrell in casa de mi padre-but I doubt anyone saw that movie(including me) so…
October 12, 2012 at 11:02 am
If anybody was on the fence about this year’s election, this painting just encouraged them to vote for Obama.
