Twitter users got a great kick out of Romney’s response.
MT @kjdrennen: LOL Brian Williams: Will you pick "boring white guy" for VP? Romney: "You told me you were not available" #awesomecomeback—

And this Twitter user makes a great point.
Brian Williams asked if Romney wants a "boring white guy" as his VP. He'd never ask Obama why he wanted "a lout mouth nut job white guy" VP—

Bingo! We also don’t recall anyone asking President Obama why he wanted an old plagiarist white dude with doll hair as his VP.
Our only regret is that Mitt Romney didn’t call out NBC partner MSNBC for its monochromatic masthead.
Why do they want only “incredibly boring white guys” as anchors?
Or as company bigwigs?
Lean forward? More like Lean vanilla.
Romney also should have called out the unbearable whiteness of being … Obama’s campaign headquarters.
