From the article...


At the Mississippi fundraiser, Romney told wealthy donors that: “I know that people in this room are probably doing relatively well … but not everyone in America is doing so well right now … the waiters and waitresses that come in and out of this room and offer us refreshments, they’re not having a good year.”

“I’m guessing their year felt worse and worse as the night went on,” Colbert noted. “That’s how a candidate connects with the average people. There’s nothing blue collar Joes like more than having their struggles pointed out in a room full of rich people they are serving.”


I wonder if Romney's meal got a little something extra added by those 'not doing so well' waiters and waitresses...

Never would such crudeness touch Mitt's lips. Their maître d' was none other than the famed Philippe of Muddy Bayou. Remember, those Republicans dine with class and sometimes knifes and spoons.
