Not a good day for DUmbasses. First Romney's tax returns, now this.

Mystery of Mitt Romney’s ‘fake tan’ solved by Univision News team
Source: NY Daily News

Mitt Romney's beauty secrets have been revealed by a crack investigative team at Univision News after the GOP candidate appeared at its town hall forum earlier this week looking decidedly tanner than usual.

A makeup artist apparently went at the candidate with a heavy hand — prompting some speculation in the liberal blogosphere that the Republican had applied some self-tanner before the event on Hispanic issues.


“Mitt Romney dyed his face brown for his Univision interview,” was DemocraticUnderground.com’s take on the Republican’s swarthy complexion.

But Univision, which spoke to the cosmetologist in question, has found that the culprit was simply some MAC Studio Fix powder plus foundation in shade NW30 — perhaps a bit too aggressively applied.
Univision News managing editor Fernando Vila noted on Twitter that there is “no evidence of foul play” in the selection of Romney’s powder.

1. Just because some rag called it gossip doesn't necessarily make it so.

24. That rag is the largest spanish network in the country

and it was THEIR CONTRACTED MAKEUP ARTIST who applied the make up.

You really do not know who Univision is, do you?


       

By the way, this is a NON STORY.

Damn, it must be painful, being slapped down by Nadin.

2. And the winner was????

Seems that if memory serves, the Republicons WON that one.

Thanks, as for me, I will gladly lie, cheat and steal to keep Romney out of office.

4. When did anyone say there was "foul play"?

The claim was that he wore darker makeup, and the link confirms that.

6. Let's not downplay the accusation

The claim was that the Romney team did it in order to appeal to voters. Let's not downgrade the claim to "he wore darker makeup." That wasn't it.

15. You haven't shown that he didn't choose that shade of makeup in order to appeal to the Hispanic

audience. How do you know Romney didn't tell the makeup artist to give him a "tan"?

"Don't make me look too white," he chuckled. "Give me a tan."

They get desperate when their lies start to fall apart. They can keep the lies going indefinitely in your little echo chamber, but not in the real world.

5. Bullshit, they meant to make him darker

and yes, if it were the reverse (if O was white and that happened) ALL CORPORATE MEDIA, HATE RADIO would be on like white on rice.

8. So what if it was dark makeup? That doesn't let Mitt Romney off the hook.

He's not blind. He could see what they were doing to him -- and he probably approved or even directed the choice of that shade.

38. What it must be like to live in a world of conspiracy theories swirlling around you.

Have you ever been on TV? No, you can't see what the make-up people are doing to you. You just hope and pray they are professional and know what they are doing and you don't look like fool. Now Univision is part of the conspiracy! I have heard of everything.

14. The meta-point here is that Romney's such a tool it's easy to believe.

Nobody ever said DU was "Fair and Balanced". We're more like "Experienced and Enraged".

No, the "meta-point" is that you're all a bunch of ****ing liars, and even when you are caught in your lie you can't crawl out of the slime long enough to admit it.

29. Thank you for your "concern". We'll bitch about pandering via makeup any damned time we please.

You mean you'll lie any time you damned well please. Thanks, but we knew that already.

Mitt was dyed brown as a marketing ploy and that is what I am telling everyone I know!

The axiom of those that think they are really smart are the easiest to fool proved once again.

Might have to make a corollary about those that think they are smart when found to have been fooled blame others.  Feel free to suggest. I know it is there.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

So, DUmmies, Mexicans made Mitt look more Mexican when he went on Mexican TV. For what purpose? Is Univision in the bag for Senor Meet?

You're right.  There are a lot of people who are far more respectable than your average DUmmie who devote their lives to producing "gossip".  I will not sully their good names by comparing their work with the garbage that comes from the DUmp.

Romney's tax forms must have really irritated them if they have to stoop to complaining about make-up!!  D@&* those 1%'ers that actually pay more taxes than they must...and still donate so much to charity.   :rotf: :rotf:

They have to talk about this, otherwise they may have to face the fact that 0bama bombed on Univision when asked tough questions.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

WOW.

I really wish I had nothing else more important in my life to worry and bitch about than whether or not Mitt Romney's makeup for an appearance on Univision made him look less than a white guy.

Also.

I'm really happy to know that I am not so gullible that to see Mitt Romney with darker skin created by TV makeup, that I would ever think he was anything other than a white guy.

Apparently, John Kerry's spray-on tan and untaxed luxury yacht weren't bourgeoisie enough for DUmmies to be outraged over. 

He should have worn better suits.  I bet that was the tipping point.
