Mittens is romancing the morons over at the National Review:
Mitt Romney is meeting with a group of top GOPers: The National Review post-election Caribbean cruise. National Review’s 2007 cruise, which went to Alaska, was the venue where Sarah Palin introduced herself to the right-wing media elite, leading to her being placed on the 2008 GOP ticket.
Sadly, there are no icebergs in the Carribean.
I'm so excited, I just can't hide it . . .

"Sadly, there are no icebergs in the Carribean." Cheer up, they have sharks.

What most people don't realize is that not only has Barack Obama broken the color barrier for president, but also the weird name barrier.
This has been a longstanding theory of mine.
I only hope it still holds true for the GOP.
It's what sank Mitt, Giuliani, and Huckabee. Fred Thomspon was just a douche.

Have any of these National Review vacations ever been hit hard by one of those gastrointestinal viruses that so often run rampant on cruise ships? Because I have a long list of people who I'd like to see puking overboard...

Sadly, there are no icebergs in the Carribean.
However, there is (likely) food poisoning on the ship and, well, all those scary, just awful black people that just happen to live in the Caribbean, which I'm sure will horrify Mitt and the pasty white gaggle of National Review zombies who sail with him. Sample comment from attendee: "Well, honey, I'm just not sure about going ashore...I just...I just never expected there to be so many of those people down here. Don't they have jobs?"
An iceberg is too good for them. I'm voting for a massive "Poseidon Adventure"-sized rouge wave to capsize the ship.

The Mitt picking begins!

Freude,
There's a follow up to this story playing out live on NRO!
Apparently, the readers got a bit...um...upset when K-Lo asked for contributions and cited this cruise specifically.
