I would almost swear Dennis Miller wrote Romney’s zingers.
“Spoiler Alert!”
Spike the football!
Actually it’s kind of embarrassing how poor Obama’s joke writers are. WTF?
Good bet. Milller’s been on the trail with him this week.
It sounded like things he would say!
I see Dennis Miller’s hand in these jokes too. Really good and well delivered!
“I would almost swear Dennis Miller wrote Romney’s zingers”
HA! I said to myself the exact same thing.

Wearing the traditional white tie and tails, Romney is introduced, gets major applause, standing o, nice arm pat from the Preezy. Here are some of the best lines...
Romney: "Now Al you are right, a campaign can require a lot of wardrobe changes ... we uh, blue jeans in the morning perhaps, suits for a luncheon fundraiser, sportcoat for dinner, but it's nice to finally relax and to wear what Ann and I wear around the house."First-at-bat home run. Major hooting and hollering, Couric LOL.
Romney: "I was actually hoping the President would bring Joe Biden along this evening, because he'll laugh at anything."
Big applause. Later...
Romney: "I'm pleased to once again see Gov. Cuomo, who's already being talked about for higher office, a very impressive fellow, but he may be getting a little ahead of himself -- I mean, let me get this straight -- the man has put in 1 term as a governor, he has a father who was a governor, and he thinks that's enough to run for President."
Great line, you can literally hear the Cardinal guffaw. Or is that Smith?
Romney: "Of course, we're down to the President's final months of his term..."
Ha has interrupted by hoots and applause.
Romney: "As Pres. Obama surveys the Waldorf banquet room, with everyone in white tie and finery -- you have to wonder what he's thinking: 'so little time ... so much to redistribute'."
Deep laughter into some cheers.
Romney: "And don't be surprised if the President mentions this evening the monthly jobs report where there was slight improvement in the numbers. And already has a compelling new campaign slogan: "You're better off now than you were four weeks ago."
Mixed laughter and knowing looks all around.
Romney: "Usually when I get invited to gatherings like this, it's just to be the designated driver."
Hugely funny. Went over perfectly. And with that Couric slams back her wine!
Romney: "Of course with only 19 days to go to the finish line ... people seem to be very curious as to how we prepare for the debate? Let me tell you what I do -- first, refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate..."
Chris Matthews laughing hard at this point.
Romney: "Second find the biggest available strawman and just mercilessly attack it -- Big Bird never saw it coming. And by the way, in the spirit of Sesame Street, tonight's remarks are brought to you by the letter 'O' and the number '16 trillion'."
Shocked laughter and ooohs from the audience.
Romney: "We are each very lucky to have someone in our corner that we can lean on ... I have my beautiful wife Ann, he has Bill Clinton."
Whooos.
Romney: "Rules of fairness have to be enforced, because, what other safeguards do we have besides the press..."
Stops. Deadpans. Turns to the media people right behind him and smiles. A sea of laughter everywhere.
Romney: "Now I never suggest that the press is biased. I recognize that they have their job to do and I have my job to do. My job is to lay out a positive vision for the future of the country." Pause. "And their job is to make sure nobody else finds out about it."
Strong applause. Couric smirks, suppresses a laugh, tries to get Matthews attention.
Romney: "Let's just say that some in the media have a certain way of looking at things. When suddenly I pulled ahead in some of the major polls, the headlines said 'Polls Show Obama Leading From Behind'."
Romney: "And I've already seen early reports from tonight's dinner: Obama Embraced By Catholics, Romney Dines With Rich People."
Out-of-the-park home run. Best line of the night. They're eating out of his hand at this point. Some of the people -- the MSM! -- on the dais are literally wiping tears away from their eyes. Pure Reaganesque gigawatt charm.
Romney: "Of course the President has put his own stamp on relations with the Church. There've been some awkward moments, like when the President pulled Pope Benedict aside to share some advice on how to deal with his critics. He said, "Look Holy Father, whatever the problem is, just blame it on Pope John Paul the 2nd."
Nice closer. Then the saluatation.
That’s what I was thinking too, they were all good!!
Wasn’t there something about Dennis Miller and Mitt...that Dennis was attending some kind of gathering that Mitt was attending, or something like that? Miller is all for Romney...can’t give him enough praise.
