Mitt Romney Says He Loves "Papaya," Cuban Slang for Vagina

Categories: Politicks

Sometimes Riptide realizes how woefully white we are. Did you know papaya is basically the Cuban equivalent of pussy? We did not! Neither did Mitt Romney! So, perhaps that's why he ended up declaring his love for "papaya" at his recent Miami stop and was greeted with a bunch of snickers.

This past Monday, Romeny stopped by El Palacio de los Jugos, a Coral Way eatery owned by a convicted cocaine trafficker.

From Mediaite:
"They're waiting for you with a mamey and a guayaba -- Cuban fruits -- here in Miami, do you like those?" [host Carlos] Santana asked.

"I am a big fan of mango, papaya, and guava," Romney replied, to laughs from the host and the translator.

"There are mangoes there too." Santana added.


Yes, indeed, as many of our friends and Urban Dictionary tell us, papaya is slang for vagina. Suddenly so many things makes sense to us.

This isn't the first time Romney has slipped up in front of a Cuban crowd in Miami.

In 2008, while attending the Miami-Dade Lincoln Day dinner in Little Havana, a guayabera-clad Romney proudly used the quote, "Patria o muerte, venceremos!" which happens to be one of the favorite slogans of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

You know, for a many with a quarter billion in his hands; he sure in the hell isn't too worldly either nor apparently capable of becoming....

 @bradmcdougal836  @tw117  romney was born in Mexico to non-Mexican parents who fled the USA when things were not going their way.  Romney is about as Mexican as Walmart.

Alex, what are you getting at? So you're telling me that people who don't pay back what they owe are being held accountable? Oh no, stop the presses! God forbid we do anything about all these people who borrow money and don't pay it back. Don't like how the system works? Then don't borrow!

The Romney Con: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vS9SF3vc-A is in full execution mode, feigning the moral indignation and outrage that a non white man is still President.  The Mormon Madoff  came unhinged this past week claiming that  "Obama Campaign Disgrace to the Presidency" and that he is just trying to hang onto power. I hope Obama does hang onto power. Watching Mitt Romney and his multiple personality disorder live on television is truly disturbing, even more so than Sybil & her 16 personalities or any horror movie I have ever seen. Watching Romney and a group of angry white Republica man "trying to take back their country" made me as an American feel much like a black man in the middle of a KKK rally out in some obscure field. The only funny thing is that I never knew Lynch Mobs wore JCrew.

Mitt Romney es un hombre hueco, adora en el culto del diablo de Mormón. Sus amigos y aliados en el Partido Republicano le han llamado el más fundamentalmente deshonesto, El hombre sin sombra, sin principios o valores que no es nada más que un cambio de forma, camaleón político, que voy a decir nada en función de su audiencia. Así que el hijo de puta paliza gay prefiere el coño en el pene. Quién iba a pensar eso? Supongo que a veces sólo se ven los republicanos gay, pero no lo son.

El diablo mormón que golpearon a la gente gay y que monta en el asiento de perra en su moto de agua detrás de su esposa y que parece un poco de luz en sus mocasines, al igual que él también tiene el pene en su boca, al parecer le gusta el coño

Chard, don't you think you're splitting hairs? He was referring to his opponents' policies. In any case, what difference does it make? You obviously missed the point...

Mitt Romney Flip Flops On English As Official Language

Romney Releases 10th Spanish-Language

 

 

'How do you say delicious in Cuban?' herman cain was not that dumb after all.

 

I hate it when candidates come down here. They pander to the Cuban community and the Jewish community.  Call me an American if you'd like,but I would insist that all voters better be fluent in English. No kowtowing or dumbing down an already dumb two party system. Do we really need candidates going after voters that can't understand the language of the land? I know Miami is considered a foreign country by the rest of the US, but damn.
