Poor Mitt ... he's so desperate to be accepted by someone ... ANYONE ... that, instead of being a cowardly lil' squish, if he would simply display some intellectual honesty and backbone, he might get what he's looking for. He can lean over to the dark side all he wants ... they're still not going to really accept him. Mitt is the pathetic dweeb who doesn't get picked by either team on the playground.
