your reference highlights the remarkable fact that without benefit of Alzheimer's (to our knowledge ) Romney manages to place below Reagan as a thinker

You are a pisher of men.

I think Prez has set up these debates well. Romney will probably try a surprise, like, "There you go again".

The thing I don't get is that much of what Romney will say in Israel is aimed at the religious right in the U.S---who in turn don't have much residual charity for Bush.

In reply to Mitt Romney has imploded in

Thanks, tmc. And now the Romney campaign is so desperate that they have played the "Bush card" on foreign policy in the Middle East. Seems if Obama had only followed Bush's plan, the Arab Spring could have been avoided. It follows that if Bush had played the Bush card in Iraq we might have avoided invading the place. And I wonder how all those demonstrators will like having their revolution trashed as something which could have been avoided---by, from all people, just following Bush.

Mitt Romney has imploded in Britain, it was beautiful yet puzzling to watch. I thought Mitt was a smart man, but he is dumb, Sarah Palin dumb.

First of all this obsession with the bust of Winston Churchill is ridiculous, since we know the story and there are two busts, one was on loan from Tony Blair to W. This President put the bust of one Abraham Lincoln in his Oval Office. Why would anyone replace Lincoln with another borrowed bust of Churchill? I mean Lincoln is the titular Republican! Oh... but Republicans don't like him anymore. I don't know why.

But beyond that, Mitt Romney is running the campaign Sarah Palin wanted John McCain to run, and to his credit he did not run. And as much as I dislike McCain and his policies, he didn't try to divide America along those lines. Romney has no qualms about using every dog whistle, race baiting, painting the President as "other", as foreign and by using African American's as "real America's" nemesis, as that was the reason for that smug look and those ridiculous comments when he was speaking to the NAACP, and his comments about "those people who want handouts". He is all in on the Palin style campaign. Mendacious Mitt is a contemptible piece of shit and so are all his idiot advisers. They are all in on dividing America further, because they see it as the only way they can win, oh and by making sure brown people can't vote. I hope they can live with themselves after all this is over, Lee Atwater couldn't.

Thanks, Muddy. As for the rest of the trip it is hard to see how it could be worse. And of course he is scheduled to have a softball interview with Blitzer.

Thanks, NCD. Thanks for the reference to the Salt Lake City docs.

I think the most potential damage to Romney's campaign from his London flubs is that instead of simply highlighting what has heretofore a gimme on his success in the Utah, he has created interest in the question of what actually went on during his tenure at the SLC games. It seems that crony capitalism has reared its ugly head once again.

Morning Joe was hilarious, as was Krauthammer's take.

All he had to do was tag along and keep his mouth shut. It's not as if the libbies would have pounced had Romney not answered Williams' question. It was a pass. You say, "I'm excited. The Olympics are great fun," and you move on to the next question. It appears that Romney's just the type of guy who has to one-up everyone, or every country, in this case, by showing his superior (in this case politically INferior) knowledge of the subject at hand.

Let's hope he doesn't say "What's up, Chuck," to Komorowski.

Thanks, Destor. I am

In reply to It's actually a little

Thanks, Destor. I am surprised that the book quotes haven't been more publicized.

If I were more learned and had more time I would have tried to compare Romney to American novel protagonists, per Sinclair Lewis, Henry James and such.

James' American is always described as gauche but well meaning---which rules that out.

Dodsworth also is a possibility but he was actually a curious man who proved he could learn things---like the fact that his wife was shallow. As for Babbitt, I don't think he went abroad, although if he had hit the lottery, he might make a plausible Mitt.

In any case, let me just say,

"George Babbitt, you're no Sam Dodsworth!. Go back to Xenia, or Zenith, or to whatever vast wasteland in America you came from."

Romney - no documents from the 2002 Olympics are open for public review, and many were destroyed having to do with contracts and finances. 18 years of the guy's life is a blank etch-a-sketch.

From his comments in London it would seem he is truly a Bainbot, programmed to humorlessly wag his tongue with dour criticism on things he knows little about, and was not asked to comment on, demeaning opinions, and pure nonsense. I presume he would fire more than a few people over there if he could.

Meanwhile the right wing Fox/Limbaugh/Murdoch/WSJ/GOP echo chamber pounds the drums incessantly for Obama's grades from 30 years ago, and ask suspiciously 'who financed his education', as if someone 30 years ago paid Obama's tuition in the expectation of getting payback when he became president.
