Titled 'Mitt Romney: A Human Being Who Built That,' the parody mocks Romney for his background as the son of a wealthy governor and for his perceived 'robotic' behavior, among other things.
'Being born [Gov. George Romney's] son was anything but luck,' Nimoy narrated as the video cut to black and white footage of sperm swimming towards an egg. 'Willard Mitt Romney won the coveted position only by out-competing thousands of less-motivated sperm.' On-screen displays designated the losing sperm as 'teacher,' 'welfare cheat,' 'polio kid,' and 'bureaucrat.'
Nimoy's narration continues on to make deadpan jokes about Romney's decision to not use taxpayer money to fund his education and instead seek the sponsorship of a local businessman (his father); his decision to enlist during the Vietnam War as a missionary in France, where he 'bravely fought the French people's love of wine'; and his ability to, 'against the odds,' gain admission to Harvard and secure funding from his own stock, given to him by a local businessman (again, his father).
After explaining that Romney had built a successful education, business, and governorship, the narration said that there was one thing he had yet to build: a presidency. However, 'as the elite East Coast, Harvard-educated creator of RomneyCare started to run in the most conservative Republican field in history, Romney realized the terrible truth: he had built himself the wrong way.'
The parody then shows a montage of Romney directly contradicting his previously 'progressive' social views, 'a monumental feat of self-reconstruction' in order to become a man who now claims he was 'a severely conservative Republican governor.'
'Mitt Romney did it all by himself,' Nimoy concludes.

Never mind Eastwood. This was the night's highlight.
-
Excellent.
-
Clint Eastwood might be remembered decades from now as the highlight of that convention. In fact, I'm certain he will be.
-
That was just brilliant stuff. The choice of narrator inspired.
-
Outstanding.
-
I see an Oscar.
-
Mitt Romney is a great inspiration to people with no values.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan protect rapists.

May I pretend I am any pundit on MSNBC and now declare Leonard Nimoy bizarre and senile'?
Of course not because it was a comedy routine and some of us still have a sense of humor.
Nimoy was funny.
I am watching msnbc as I type this and they are in shock at the way Obama got dismantled last night. -
We know' It's funny when the joke is at Romney's expense. Not so much when the joke is at Obama's expense.
-
This is a funny clip on Obama responding to Eastwood I think everyone might enjoy http://www.facebook.com/PlayOfficeHooky

You embrace this while you criticize Eastwood for mocking Obama?
bahahahaha
Your 'standards' of what is funny is just too damn funny.
This is hilarious, the other is demeaning and belittling.
Come on mediaite ' how absurd on your part.
-
the other is boring and has been done before. The empty chair routine has never been funny.
-
eastwood was unfunny.
-
Really? Eastwood was at the RNC Convention. Jon Stewart is satire. You're the absurd one.
-
Try not to injure yourself multitasking, bagger.
-
I don't criticize Eastwood for mocking Obama.
I laugh at Eastwood for doing so in an ill-prepared and amateurish way.
-
Here's something hilarious Mediaite might want to cover considering it happened to a media channel, 'A fight broke out after two men shouted, 'Hey Chris, how's that tingle up your leg.'" An MSNBC producer shoved people who shouted how's that tingle. Hilarious!

Spock had talented writers prepare his bit. Dirty Harry's improv skills need some serious work.
