Romney Makes Desperate, Last-Ditch Bid For Presidency

This is a hilarious satirical article from the onion

WASHINGTON—With hundreds of thousands of onlookers assembled on the National Mall to celebrate Monday's inauguration, defeated Republican candidate Mitt Romney reportedly rushed out onto the stage to make one last frantic bid for the presidency. "My fellow Americans, I come to you at this late hour to plead with you to reconsider my candidacy for president of this great nation," a panting Romney said as multiple Secret Service agents attempted to physically drag the former Massachusetts governor away from the podium. "Please, if you'll just give me a second chance—Wait! No! Get your hands off me! IdosolemnlyswearthatIwillfaithfn—" At press time, sources confirmed that a weeping Romney was repeating phrases from the first presidential debate to himself as authorities escorted him into a waiting police vehicle.

That's a good one. You never know these days. Did you see the picture of Boehner weeping while Kelly Clarkson sang?



From Clarkson:

"What an honor to be a part of history!" she tweeted. "Obama's presence was powerful and his words unforgettable. It's a proud day for America!"

Except that was part of another story from a photo taken at the same time:
