First-Name Basis

By Zamboni

The online world got a big laugh out of Chris Christie's pathetic hostage-video introduction of Donald Trump the other day. Gosh, the tweets and comments were funny. How clever folks can be!

But that same night, Christie did something else that got everyone guffawing. He called the man he was introducing "Mr. Trump." Trump responded by calling him "Chris."

And now, Willard Mitt Romney's done the same thing! In his hypocritical speech today denouncing the GOP front-runner, Willard kept doing the "mister" thing:

"Some people...look at history and say a trend like Mr. Trump’s isn’t going to be stopped."

"There are a number of people who claim that Mr. Trump is a con man, a fake."

"Mr. Trump has changed his positions not just over the years, but over the course of the campaign."

"Mr. Trump is directing our anger for less than noble purposes."

Willard, cut it out. If this man is such a demagogue, so below board, so unworthy of support, so boorish, repulsive and despicable, why reward him with an honorific? Call him Donald. After all, you're the 2012 Republican nominee — not a first-week freshman who's scared of the high school principal. We cats roll our eyes and HISS.
