Romney Software Upgrade Nears Release Date

Romney Software Upgrade Nears Release Date
One of the Romney prototypes discusses the upgrade with the lead developer at Romney's Boston headquarters.

BOSTON (CAP) - Sources inside the Mitt Romney software development team confirmed today that the animatronic presidential candidate is about to receive a major software upgrade.

"We've finally licked the hardware issues and Mitt's movements and facial expressions are now almost human," stated one of the developers. "Also, the new gyro helped stop him from veering to the far right all the time. But the software bugs have been a nightmare."

Industry experts agreed, noting that "the Romneytronic software hasn't been delivering the goods," according to Dale Friesner, a senior technology editor at cnet.com.

"The inside story is that they outsourced most of the development work on the previous release to China at Mitt's request because he refused to pay U.S. rates for the work," Friesner said. "Unfortunately, these Chinese software developers have a very limited knowledge of American society.

"For example, apparently they believe that Russia is our greatest threat and that almost half of Americans - about 47% - are lazy freeloaders while the other half are all job creators," he noted.

Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades confirmed Freisner's concerns, telling CAP News the entire situation was just a software glitch and that "Mitt has often remarked about what a wonderful, hard-working population we have here in the U.S because he admires his maid Consuela so much."

"And he knows that the international terrorist threat is our biggest national security concern because he used to watch 24," Rhoades pointed out. "But those software bugs were distorting his message and really messing up his head. It's why he couldn't make up his mind about his positions and looked like a deer in the bright headlights of a runaway tractor-trailer whenever he was put under pressure.

"This upgrade will help him change course and steer his way right into the White House," Rhoades added.

NBC News political director Chuck Todd said he believes Romney will try to steer that course right down the middle of the road. "This upgrade seems to coincide with a moment in his troubled campaign when Romney desperately needs to recast himself as a moderate centrist rather than a far-right ideologue," he said.

The Obama camp is taking a wait and see attitude about the Romney software upgrade. "We're not concerned," said one senior advisor. "Windows 98 was supposed to be an upgrade, too. And just like that 20th-century software disaster, we strongly suspect that Mitt Romney is going to freeze and crash again very soon."

With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» The FBI is investigating who wiretapped Sen. Mitch McConnell's office, tapes of which show him slandering one-time opponent Ashley Judd. "I have a right to be devious and unethical in a private setting," he said. "I'm sure I'll say plenty of stupid things publicly during this campaign, just be patient." «» President Obama may spend the foreseeable future sleeping in the Oval Office after returning five percent of his salary in solidarity with furloughed federal workers. Sources say that portion was budgeted for Michelle's clothing allowance and "I'll be damned if I go the next six months dressing like Hillary Clinton." «» Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) now supports gay marriage because his son Will is gay and "if it takes shacking up with another man to get him to move out, so be it." Portman took two years to reconsider after Will came out because he "swore it was just a phase." «» Major League Baseball has signed an exclusive deal with the document sharing app Evernote to disseminate player steroid information among managers real-time during games.
