Pumping Irony (Presidential Edition)

  This is, of course, a leap year; which brings us not only an extra day in the cheerful month of February; but also the Olympics, the presidential campaign and, for keen observers, a Mitt Romney sighting. Romney, who likes to think of himself as a statesman, has no desire to do the actual work of statesmanship, which would keep him much too busy during the off-years. Instead, he trots himself out during the presidential race, to inject his views on how badly everyone else is doing things.       
  Today, he went after Donald Fucking Trump.
  Romney, correctly, noted that Trump was the son of a rich man, had things to hide in his tax returns, and that Trump's bankruptcies hurt many small businesses in this country. Romney also saw fit to mention that Trump was a liar and unfit for the office of President of the United States.
  To sum up: Son of a rich man
                     Problems with tax disclosure
                     Questionable business dealings
                     Liar
                     Unfit to be president
  I think that fits. Oh yeah, it applies to Trump as well.
