Stop Making Jokes About Mitt Romney's "Authenticity"

Because, as the Biloxi Sun-Herald reports:

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy made an appearance Monday, but he didn’t tell many jokes. Instead he professed worries about the direction of the country and said he’s endorsed Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

Foxworthy made an appearance at Shaggy’s restaurant Monday morning on behalf of Romney, who didn’t attend. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, has been painted as out of touch with Southern voters. The campaign is hoping Foxworthy, who got much mileage on “you might be a redneck” jokes, will help his efforts in Mississippi and Alabama, which have primaries Tuesday…

Foxworthy, who made a stop in Mobile, Ala., with Romney before heading to Biloxi, told the crowd he had spotted material for a new joke in a Waffle House parking lot earlier Monday.

“In the car next to us, there’s three Great Danes in the back of a Toyota Corolla,” Foxworthy said. “I said, ‘Y’all, somebody must have said, “I’m going down to the Waffle House today; let me get all the dogs and put them in the back of the car.” ‘ You never run out of redneck jokes down here.”

We have to assume that Jeff Foxworthy has not heard the one about Mitt Romney’s dog.

Nevertheless, the biggest Romney endorsement since Kid Rock? A poll follows.
