We're just tryin' to be friendly, Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young generation, And we've got something to say.
 Clockwise from the top: Tagg, Matt, Ben, Craig, and Jalen Romney
In this weeks edition of Les Enfants Romney, we see that the Washington Post has taken notice of those lovable Romney scamps:
Tagg Romney, 37, loves the Sox and has a thing for Billy Joel. Matt Romney, 35, always tunes in to "Saturday Night Live," and Josh Romney, 31, likes to surf and water-ski. Ben Romney, 29, hesitates to call his dog, Kingsley, a half yorkie and half poodle, "a yorkie-poo." And Craig Romney, 26, a Tom Brady look-alike, has 337 friends on MySpace an-.... Whoa...whoa...whoa there WaPo reporter guy.
This is Craig Romney
This is Tom Brady
I'll be the first to admit that all white people look alike (okay, maybe not), and that these two each have the standard issue number of facial parts, (eyes - 2 , nose -1, mouth - 1, teeth - too many) but, I mean, c'mon, is anyone on the streets of Boston actually pointing at Craig, elbowing a friend and saying, "Hey. Ain't that Brady gettin' outta that cah?". I don't think so...
Anyway...
One way to measure a blog's popularity is its unpopularity, and Five Brothers has gotten enough attention to inspire parody. A blogger mocking the brothers writes: "Tagg is 37 . . . likes . . . basketball . . . horses, travel . . . trust funds . . .." That would be "semi-unpopularity" thank you very much.
Such carping does not seem to faze the Romneys. "It's a cynical world we live in, and my brothers are just being ourselves," says Tagg, sitting at campaign headquarters at this city's North End, where he keeps an office. Adds Matt: "Our goal is for people to get to know our dad a little more differently than they might in a 30-second TV spot. To get to know him through his family. So everyone's blogging."
Wellll, not exactly everyone, more like Tagg who has taken time off from his busy job cashing in on the family name to work for the campaign, and Craig when he's not busy signing Tom Brady cards at trade shows for the gullible. Or Amway conventions. Whatever.
In fact, Tagg has so much time on his hands he's offering up a Dream Date with...himself:
Yesterday, I sent out an email to Team Mitt announcing a special opportunity to join me for a celebration at a Major League Baseball game, including box seats and all travel expenses paid. And I wanted to make sure that Five Brother Blog readers heard about it.
How do you qualify? Anyone who contributes $100 to our campaign by Tuesday, June 12th will be could win two tickets to join me at the game. I know this is just a few days away so don’t waste any time:

While my Dad and our entire family are thrilled that momentum is on our side, we know that change happens fast in campaigns and you can never rest on your laurels. At this critical time, we need all the support we can get to ride the “Mitt-mentum” all the way to the White House. Quite frankly I never thought the Romney family would adopt gambling as a way to raise money for his campaign, but $100 for a shot at tickets and round-trip airfare for a Red Sox game is a pretty good deal.
Much better than second prize: an opportunity to throw a football around with Craig and explain to people that you're' Randy Moss...Labels: 5bros
