It’s really hard for a parodist to come up with anything funny about Romney. He leaves us no material. And parody has to start with reality.
With Mitt, reality changes so often, there’s nothing to sink your teeth into.

What’s his name from Texas... the other Rick... the guy with the craggy-faced good looks of a movie cowboy and had the brains of a rutabaga, but with a poorer memory was an easy target for verbal cartoonists.
