Romney: Adam and Eve looked slutty
OK, that's not quite what he said, but still...the former Massachusetts Governor (and current Iowa and New Hampshire GOP frontrunner) made an odd joke, it seemed to me, while campaigning in New Hampshire today, reports ABC News' ace cub reporter Matt Stuart

At one young couple's house, Romney remarked at the large leaves on their tree, quipping, "Adam and Eve would not have looked as promiscuous if they had had leaves this big."

Huh? Adam and Eve looked promiscuous? Adam and Eve were naked. (Before eating from the Tree of Knowledge, that is, after which they became ashamed of their nakedness.)

Does naked = promiscuous? Asked what he meant, a Romney spokesman told Stuart he meant what he said.

1. Had Clinton or Obama or Edwards said this
it would be headlined on Sludge and would be a media talking point all weekend.

But, instead?

33. I've noticed that very few are currently interested in
taking it to the Republic candidates.

Hopefully, that will change once we have a nominee.

2. He's a nutcase
I know many here think he's got moderate positions on some social issues because of the lies he told in Massachusetts but he's a hard core right wingnut whose true positions are the ones he's espousing now - not the blather he used to get elected in MA.

4. This bizarre religion based American prudishness has to end.
It only exists here and places like Saudi Arabia. That's reason enough to knock it the hell off. The naked body is GOOD!

5. The guy wears magic underwear
and thinks that Christ and Satan were "spirit brothers".

This should come as no surprise. He is an empty suit.

9. typical republicon with twisted morality
Sheesh. Is Romney into diaper sex like the other republicons?

Why do republicons have so much trouble with normal, healthy sexual expression?

Out of the closet with the whole pack of twisted homelanders...

12. What if, in the Garden, someone came by with a leaf-blower?
Edited on Sun Nov-11-07 02:36 PM by Old Crusoe
We modern earthlings assume there WERE no leaf-blowers in Eden, but God is great and if he wanted there to be leaf-blowers in Eden there by god WOULD be.

That would suggest that a lust-driven wielder of a leaf-blower could have blown away the leaves from Adam's and Eve's special regions, thus leaving them buck naked in Paradise. My first thought is, if you can't be buck naked in Paradise, what's the point of a Paradise?

Also I haven't worked out the electrical cord connection for (G)arden appliances just yet. These theories take time. Bear with me, won't you? -- the findings of my investigation and analysis will be posted on the website for that Creationist museum they just opened in Kentucky.

Romney claims Adam and Eve needed larger leaves. Perhaps this is a veiled insult to God. God should have made Adam and Eve with smaller special regions to accommodate the small leaves Governor Romeny so objects to. Is he saying God has a quality control problem with leaves? Why blame the damn leaves? What did they ever do to Governor Romney?

Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, what did leaves ever do to anyone? And don't give me this "They clog up my eaves troughs in November" bullshit. I don't want to hear it. The leaves were there before your damn eaves troughs. Get with the program.

15. Well, they were naked in Paradise.
It was when they got all upset about it that they were kicked out.

26. Ashcroft had his velvet drapes. We need a design for a velvet body
piece for all art of Adam and Eve - since art images is all Romney has to go on - other than his religious purity and tolerance scale.

I enjoy insights into what people in the spotlight think about. Perhaps he thinks it's fortunate for good Christians everywhere that some art stops at the neck.
