On this week's NPR show Wait Wait ...Don't Tell Me! Peter Sagal's wickedly cutting humor shows how absurd the comments that Mitt Romney made while he was visiting Iowa about how corporations are people really are.
Wait Wait ...Don't Tell Me! Panel Round Two
...This week Romney was in Iowa and when he was challenged by hecklers at the Iowa State Fair to raise taxes on corporations Romney he responded by saying: "Corporations are People my friend!" unquote and he went on to say corporations need to be cared for cherished loved. And he ended his speech by reaching into the crowd and picking up an adorable limited partnership S Corporation from its Mother's arms and kissing it gently on the portfolio. It's touching really.
Of course Romney can be expected to care for cherish and love his corporate sponsors if he were to get into the White House. Since Corporations are Romney's real constituents I can see why Mitt would tend to anthropomorphize his sponsors.
