HBO' Developing 'Game Change' Sequel 'Double Down': Barack Obama Vs. Mitt Romney

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:00:59 +0000

The moment Alaska governor Sarah Palin first came to the world stage as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections, we knew that her larger-than-life personality would become the stuff of parody and portrayal from years to come. Once we finished laughing at Tina Fey's dead-on impression, the tone turned serious as HBO's 'Game Change' garnered multiple Emmys with Julianne Moore in the lead role.

Now, the original 'Game Change' writers have begun work on a sequel covering the 2012 elections between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, titled 'Double Down: Game Change 2012,' and guess what HBO wants to do with it?

Previously, we'd heard of a few guest stars joining the second season of HBO's buzzy Aaron Sorkin drama, but the latest confirms that former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will play a large role in season 2! So, are you ready to meet our new recurring cast member, a link to the famous one-percenter?

Meme Watch: Defeated Mitt Romney Pumps His Own Gas

Emerald Catron — Wed, 21 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?

Team Romney Mistakenly Leaks Victory Website

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.
