Tootle him with vigor

Media Matters reveals that Simple Simon drools over Mitt Romney's chiseled Mormon features the way that Chris Matthews and G. Gordon Liddy once swooned over Dubya's empty "Mission Accomplished" codpiece:

Media Matters - Politico's Simon: Romney "up close ... is almost overpowering. He radiates vigor"

In a February 13 column for The Politico, chief political columnist Roger Simon claimed former Republican Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney "looks so much like a president would look if television picked our presidents (and it does) that sometimes you have to ask yourself if you are watching the real deal or a careful construction," as noted by blogger Atrios (Media Matters for America senior fellow Duncan Black).

Simon continued:

Romney has chiseled-out-of-granite features, a full, dark head of hair going a distinguished gray at the temples, and a barrel chest. On the morning that he announced for president, I bumped into him in the lounge of the Marriott and up close he is almost overpowering. He radiates vigor.
