Newsweek Cover Story: 'Mitt Romney: A Candidate With a Serious Wimp Problem'

Yep. Ol’ Barry and The First Worf are living on the “down-low.”

[TWhiteBear]

It is a hoot when the posers of the pussycat press call someone else a ‘wimp’.
It is like Wally Cox calling Urkel a wimp.
How many subscribers did Newsweek lose today, 200 or so, each day, all year?
Newsweek is not even a good cat box liner.

A man doesn't build the sort of estate Mitt has built being a "wimp." It takes iron to be a success in the financial world--a different sort of iron from that one displays on the battlefield or the gridiron, but real toughness to be sure.

The clowns at NewsWeek who wrote this garbage don't know anything more about manliness than Obama does about being a successful president.

If Romney is a wimp then Obama is the May Queen.

[Lazamataz]

Good Lord. They want to call MITT a wimp? When THIS is their guy?

[fhayek]

Could they make those ‘wimp’ letters any bigger? Newsweak was once sold (as a company) for less than the cost of a single copy. They buyers got gypped.

By that measure of a rich man’s son, a presidential candidate’s son becoming rich, then actually becoming president of the United States shows toughness in that arena as well.

Both men are wimps outside of the office.

Definition of W.I.M.P.

WIMP [wɪmp]acronym for

1. (Electronics & Computer Science / Computer Science) windows, icons, menus (or mice), pointers: denoting a type of user-friendly screen display used on small computers a WIMP system

2.A subatomic particle that has a large mass and interacts with other matter primarily through gravitation. [w(eakly) i(nteracting) m(assive) p(article).]

So is Romney a user friendly guy, whose gravitas makes others prone to cooperate with him?

Good thing Newsweek is following honored journalistic tradition of being tough on politicians.

Newsweek - an about-to-be former news magazine with a severe credibility problem......

[marron]

This is funny. Its not like the whole country hasn’t figured out what is in the White House these last three and a half years.

Newsweek has gone from embarrassment to punchline. Does anyone actually buy it anymore? Really?

[Godwin1]

Newsweek is still publishing? Who knew?

[thefoundersrock]

And notice that’s a girls bike he’s riding...

[cranked]

I seriously doubt this liberal rag will be in business within a year.... =.=

[The Wizard]

they only hurt themselves

...................”Magazines and newspapers have been trying to adapt to a world in which readers get more of their information from free websites and advertisers funnel more of their marketing budgets to less expensive alternatives online.

Mounting losses prompted The Washington Post Co. in 2010 to sell Newsweek for $1 to stereo equipment magnate Sidney Harman. Harman died the following year.

Before he died, he placed Newsweek into a joint venture with IAC’s The Daily Beast website in an effort to trim the magazine’s losses and widen its online audience.”

Obama, Romney and a Newsweek reader walk into a bar. “What’ll it be, gents?” asks the bartender.

“I’m a Moslem, I don’t drink alcohol. I’ll take Diet Coke.” says Obama.

“Coming right up.”

“I’m a Mormon, I don’t drink alcohol or caffeine. Make mine a 7 Up, “ says Romney.

“Yessir. And what can I get for you?” he asks the Newsweek reader.

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. “

Liberals are so cute when they are frightened.

Maybe Newsweek would make a profit if it became a parody magazine?

Wait, it already is. Never mind.
