Republican presidential candidate and desultory frontrunner Mitt Romney has many golden things, including a golden foot, which has a crush on his tongue. The wannabe populist last week tried to endear himself to a Motor City crowd by assuring people that his wife drives “a couple of Cadillacs.” He proved that he is at least egalitarian about metal: along with the gold foot, he has a tin ear.
Zipping down to Florida Sunday for the Daytona 500, Mitt again courted regular folk with his regular folksiness. Asked whether he was a big NASCAR fan, he confessed that he wasn’t as “ardent” as some, but that he had “great friends who are NASCAR team owners.”
