Mitt Romney one-liners

Romney spoke at the 122nd Gridiron Club dinner in DC recently, an event where the speakers usually try to poke fun at politicians and the media. Here are some of his best lines:

* Many people think Mormons are square, but Harry Reid and Orrin Hatch are Mormons and Romney recently joined them for a night on the town. He'd love to talk about it, but 'what happens in Disneyland, stays in Disneyland.'

* It's tough being a Republican in Democrat-dominated Massachusetts, Romney said, it's 'like being a Mormon in a room full of alcoholics. Like here.'

* Romney said he spent some time in Utah running the 2002 Winter Olympics. Utah teaches abstinence education, like many other states, but unlike other states, Utah doesn't do it because the state fears kids will get pregnant. They do it because they believe 'sex could lead to dancing.'

* Taking on a competitor, Romney brought up the point that Rudy Giuliani has been pictured in drag with Donald Trump. It's not Rudy's three wives that will be a problem, Romney quipped, but his 'one husband.' "

Those comments are hilarious!
The 'Disneyland' and 'his one husband' are especially clever.
