Romney and the GOP: F#ck Buddies Forever

I want to talk to you about a kind of person that we’ve all had in our lives at one point or another, and may in some cases still be in our lives. This person fulfills a very specific need. We don’t talk about this person much, particularly if we have a significant other. Indeed, this is a person with whom we interact only when the need arises (and I mean that quite literally). We don’t consider this person a friend, although usually when they come around, we’re very happy to see them. And we’re just as happy when they leave, for they have served their function at least adequately. The politically correct term for this person is “friend with benefits”. However, I find that term to be somewhat inaccurate, as this person is hardly what one would consider a friend. I prefer the more succinct term, “fuck buddy”.
