El No-Lucky Mitt

Today, in the trashy heap otherwise known as the "HuffPo", a new Mitt Romney video surfaced in which Presidential Candidate Romney is quoted saying that he is unlucky for not having been born of Mexican parents.

His full quote is the following:

"My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico ... and uh, had he been born of uh, Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this [...] But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino."

Apparently, Mitt Romney also forgot to mention that if he had been born of Mexican parents, he would have had a much better shot at being harassed, discriminated against, living in harsh economic conditions, getting arrested (for no reason other than driving while Mexican), not graduating from college, not having a 401K or fancy cars to drive around, not getting a GOP nomination, and, certainly, a much better shot at not having a laugh while saying he's unlucky that he wasn't born of Mexican parents.

Indeed, Mitt, ¡qué suerte!
