Congratulations, Mitt Romney, you're a proper presidential hopeful now. After all, getting egg/flour/shoes/glitter thrown at you is a tried-and-true rite of passage, and you've passed with flying colours.

Brushing off the attack - literally - Romney called it celebratory confetti, rather than an attack from gay rights activists. What a line, eh? Almost as good as "I'm not concerned with the very poor" but perhaps not quite as catchy.

Elsewhere in the wide world of humiliated politicians, French presidential hopeful Francois Hollande also got a faceful from a protestor this week, with a large bag of white flour ending up all over him at a campaign appearance in Paris yesterday.

Take a look at the Romney glitter attack below, and after that our favourite egg-ings/shoe-ings/flour-ings of other politicians - from John Prescott to Nick Griffin, George Bush to Tony Blair, they're all here, and they're all looking awkward. Just the way you like them.

Arianna Huffington: Mitt Romney Brazenly Lies And The Media Lets Him Slide

Mitt Romney's brazenly dishonest ad is far from the garden-variety truth stretching we're used to in political campaigns. It is so breathtakingly cynical it should cause us to question whether a candidate that would put it forth is fit for any public office -- let alone the presidency.

For his character's sake, Mitt Romney should aim high and hold himself to his father's standard of public service. For our country's sake, Republican primary and, possibly, general election voters should as well.

Ehh, Occupy Movement. Until you vote with your wallet and the ballot, you aren't going to effect any real change. Unfortunately, the anti-gay agenda in Republican politics is here to stay, so best to just vote the other way and hope the moderates outweigh the bigots.
