Move over Obama Girl

By Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor August 9, 2007 12:16 PM

Barack Obama has Obama Girl. Rudy Giuliani has Giuliani Girl.

Now, Mitt Romney has the Romney Girls. Three of them. They're blonde. And they're triplets.

In their first video, they attack Obama Girl for flip-flopping, fiscal irresponsibility, and other transgressions.

It's the latest bizarre confluence of politics, the Internet, and "Girls Gone Wild."

Romney, himself, seems to be unfazed. "There's nothing like getting a good spot on YouTube," he said on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" this morning when asked about the Romney Girls video.

Then he joked that he needed to stop Ann, his wife of 38 years, from wearing hot pants.

As they stood side by side, a Fox interviewer told Ann Romney of her husband's quip.

"I heard about that," she said.

"It's in my dreams, right?" Romney asked.

Her reply: "Not in his wildest dreams."

On a more substantive note, Romney spent most of his Fox interview bashing Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani over his handling of illegal immigrants while mayor of New York City.
