Whist I know this won't be of interest to many people there were a couple of humorous asides come up recently.
One of the Politicians is Mitt Romney. There was a poll to guess his real first name, rather worryingly 2% of those polled thought it was Mittens.

Warning not for children, the sensitive, supporters of Rick Santorum, homophobes or people who have just eaten breakfast.
