Uptight White Guy Out Of His Element Alert
by dday
"Who Let The Dogs Out" is not exactly a new reference. In fact, it's just what a clueless white guy would say in front of a bunch of black people to try and "relate". Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mittens Romney, and a supremely awkward moment on the campaign trail.
As he posed for a picture with a group of young people, the typically old-fashioned Romney was relaxed enough to quote from a popular hit single from a few years back.
“Who let the dogs out?” he called out, as he stood there beaming in his shirt and tie. “Who! Who!”
There's actually video of this at the CBS site. (
worth watching!)
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/01/21/politics/fromtheroad/entry3734680.shtmlYou can almost hear the gears grinding inside Mittens' head, with his brain repeating in Homer Simpson-like fashion "Say something street, let them know you're with it," and then when he busts out with the Baha Men tune, the brain saying "That's it, I'm outta here."

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- Mitt Romney was greeted warmly by a largely African-American crowd at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Parade in Jacksonville. He shook hands with several dozen parade-goers and even hugged a few of them.
Only one woman was noticeably annoyed by the former Massachusetts’ governor’s presence.
“Mitt Romney, go home!” she yelled. “You’re delaying the parade.”
