In an obvious attempt to counter popular observation criticism that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is, well, kind of the single most boring human being on the planet, the Governor and his wife Anne made a point during a new interview with Parade to mention a few of the bands and artists they enjoy and wouldn't mind inviting into the White House to perform.

"Well, I would certainly want to hear from the Beach Boys, even though I know it's not the same group it used to be," said Romney, either figuratively or literally, it's impossible to tell, really. "Also Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith, and today's rock stars—The Killers are one group I enjoy."
Whoa, yeah, what? Seriously? I'd like to find the Romney campaign staffer who came up with "I know—The Killers!" when faced with the task of picking a rock group so stale, so lame and so white bread that Mitt Romney could actually mention their name without sounding like the way my grandmother says Pussy Riot. It's such a brilliant groan of an answer that it almost didn't even occur to me that Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, like Governor Romney, is a practicing Mormon. See? Romney doesn't really like The Killers… and even if he did, it would be for most boring reason imaginable.
Nice try, Governor. Too bad Rage Against The Machine was already taken…
