HBO' Developing 'Game Change' Sequel 'Double Down': Barack Obama Vs. Mitt Romney

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 00:00:59 +0000

The moment Alaska governor Sarah Palin first came to the world stage as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections, we knew that her larger-than-life personality would become the stuff of parody and portrayal from years to come. Once we finished laughing at Tina Fey's dead-on impression, the tone turned serious as HBO's 'Game Change' garnered multiple Emmys with Julianne Moore in the lead role.

Now, the original 'Game Change' writers have begun work on a sequel covering the 2012 elections between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, titled 'Double Down: Game Change 2012,' and guess what HBO wants to do with it?

So, are you ready to meet our new recurring cast member, a link to the famous one-percenter?

Emerald Catron — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:58:24 +0000

A Redditor posted a picture to Reddit, claiming that he happened across Mitt Romney pumping his own gas in La Jolla, California. Romney looks quite a bit more disheveled than usual, and people have already started superimposing (curse word-laden) text over the top of it. We predict it won't be long until "Emotionally Defeated Romney" becomes a full-on meme, assuming people still care enough to take the time to make fun of him. What would your caption be?
