Mitt Romney threatens to spoil the rampant craziness of the GOP presidential primary with his blandness, according to Jon Stewart.

Tuesday night, Stewart noted some of the more outrageous comments from potential Republican candidates, such as Rick Santorum and his claim that abortion had broken Social Security. He then compared that to Romney, saying that the former Massachusetts Governor just didn’t bring the same level of excitement.

“Oh no, not Captain Buzzkill,” Stewart said. “Not the guy who looks like everyone who ever fired your dad.”

“He’s gonna suck all the fun right out of this crazy thing,” he added.

Stewart also panned Romney’s campaign announcement video, a single camera spot in which Romney calmly talks about his campaign in front of a foggy football field.

“Just look at this online video announcing his run,” Stewart said. “It looks like it could double as an ad for erectile dysfunction.”

“Mitt Romney: for when the moment’s right.” he added.
