I should have known better than to click the "play" button with a mouthful of coffee. Mitt, Mitt, Mitt......

Rod,

If you "know" it's "mean", why do you do it? It is not of the spirit (gentleness, meekness, KINDness, etc.)

Wow, it's rare to find someone who saw that performance by Mull, though I gather it's on an album of his, too. You'd have to been all of 12 or so when it first ran.

It's remarkable how this Romney brother-man shtick recalls for some of us the popcult of the 1970s more than of later decades, when a joshing, loose-limbed black-white *modus vivendi* seemed in our culture to be in the offing: Blazing Saddles, Sanford and Son, Richard Pryor, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Bill Cosby, Stevie Wonder, Three Dog Night's "Black and White," even Diff'rent Strokes, with Conrad Bain's Philip Drummond as a what's-past-is-prologue Mitt Romney...those lacking a you're-soaking-in-it exposure to the earlier jive-Romney thread herein, who recall Officer "Hoppy"'s Ted Baxterish attempts to coffee his cream on *Sanford and Son* might enjoy the targeted 101 I outlined there:

Too bad Romney could not have met one of the Fenstruck brothers. He could have learned how a "Wild and Crazy Guy" can step out of his box. "Slap my hand, black soul man!".
