Empty Handsome Shell

Mitt Romney, all but confirmed frontrunner for the presidency, staunchly claims to be a man of "steadiness and constancy," despite his flipflops on virtually every issue put before the Republican field.

Perhaps his consistency in remaining near or at the top of the totem pole is the rationale for his belief, if indeed, he actually believes it.

Oh, how I wish that I could put
Into that handsome form and face,
That handsome hand, that handsome foot---
A man of character in their place

To fill the gaping vacant space
With one who's real to replace
A man who would be president,
Whose words are words he never meant,

For that man is, we know so well,
A man who's but an empty shell.
