Meme Watch: Defeated Mitt Romney Pumps His Own Gas

Emerald Catron — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:58:24 +0000

A Redditor posted a picture to Reddit, claiming that he happened across Mitt Romney pumping his own gas in La Jolla, California. Romney looks quite a bit more disheveled than usual, and people have already started superimposing (curse word-laden) text over the top of it. We predict it won't be long until "Emotionally Defeated Romney" becomes a full-on meme, assuming people still care enough to take the time to make fun of him. What would your caption be?

If, as some pundits claim, gaffes were responsible for Mitt Romney's failed presidential bid, then this surely won't change that assertion. At some point after losing the election to Barack Obama, Romney's camp accidentally leaked a victory website promoting a win that never happened. It's the 'Dewey Defeats Truman' of the digital age.

Emerald Catron — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:45:05 +0000

Hey, did you hear there was an election yesterday? It was kind of a big deal, you know, presidents and what not.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:15:16 +0000

Sarah Palin may have had her hands full with 'Saturday Night Live' sketches, but it looks like this Republican Vice Presidential Candidate will have something more technologically advanced to contend with: Photoshop.
