Mitt Romney--There he went again

It's kinda funny, actually.

Yesterday, after President Obama slipped while uttering "fine," my second thought was: Not to worry, because Mitt Romney, in his characteristic desperation to frantically exploit any out-of-context misstatement, will somehow step on, will jump up and down on, will absolutely pulverize his own exploitation. 

Online I almost instantly predicted--which of course would have been far from original--this dead-certain futurism. Yet before I could even get to my keyboard, this colossal bungler of a presidential candidate had already done pulverized it through his colossally fatuous, foot-in-mouth "accusation" that Obama says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Oh dear!

Romney's self-immolation had to be a record.

A quote from watching "Bewitched" during my mispent youth: "It's like duelling with an unarmed man."

I am also reminded of the scene in "Raging Bull" when jake LaMotta is trying to throw the fight. He just stands there with his hands down, demanding the other fighter hit hit hard enough to actually knock him out. And the guy can't.

Romney's only hopr is that Obama starts knocking over liquor stores.

This quote has not gotten anywhere near the attention as Obama's.
