WASHINGTON (CNN) — At Wednesday night’s Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C., former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave his “Top 10 Reasons for Dropping Out of the Race”:
10. There weren’t as many Osmonds as I thought.
9. I got tired of corkscrew landings under sniper fire.
8. As a lifelong hunter, I didn’t want to miss the start of the varmint season.
7. There wasn’t room for two Christian leaders.
6. I was upset that no one had bothered to search my passport files.
5. I needed an excuse to get fat, grow a beard and win the Nobel prize.
4. I took a bad fall at a campaign rally and broke my hair.
3. I wanted to finally take off that dark suit and tie, and kick back in a light-colored suit and tie.
2. Once my wife Ann realized I couldn’t win, my fundraising dried up.
1. There was a miscalculation in our theory: “As Utah goes, so goes the nation.”

I didn’t know he could be so funny. Now don’t anyone go substituting an N for the M!

Too bad we couldn’t see more of this side of him during the race. It could have made a difference.

If he occasionally shows this side of himself then 2012 is looking good.

I love Mitt!!!! Hahaha this is so awesome. I am glad he is showing good humor about not being in the race anymore. It really shows people he has no hard feelings and it puts him in a really good light.

Nalvy, I agree with you. Mitt’s a great guy. Almost as great as Fred.

Mitt is so cool. I bet if Huckabee saw number 7 he wouldn’t think it was very funny but I think it is hilarious.

That’s what I was thinking, Letterman should be so lucky.

He’s got a sense of humor, which is always a redeeming virtue. I like #8

Yeah it’s good he can laugh at himself. I can’t decide if 3 or 1 is my favorite.

The Mitt Witt was a big hit last night. When it’s late and you have a few beers anything is funny so this had them rolling.
