Willard Milhous Romney
By Jack Shafer SEPTEMBER 19, 2012
Be careful about writing Mitt Romney’s political obituary before they fill him with formaldehyde and pour him into his mahogany condo. Like that other frequent Republican presidential candidate, Richard Nixon, Romney has a remarkable talent for stepping into it, sinking and soiling himself rotten as he extricates himself. Romney’s latest stumble — complaining to rich donors about the “47 percent,” which was Webcast by Mother Jones yesterday — would bury a less tenacious candidate. But Romney’s talent for powering past his embarrassments ranks up there with that of Nixon, a champion of compartmentalization who believed that as long as he had a pulse he had a chance of winning the White House.

Heh! I remember that cover.
Esquire had the best covers back then.
I like the Westworld photoshop better. It was more appropriate. Tonight, they will just change his face, his pre-taped loop and maybe a few newer and longer lasting batteries.
Meet the new dick, same as the old Dick.
