"Middle School Games! It's how people get turned off to politics! He's a very human guy!"

The replay of Hardball, on MSNBC right now.

Whining like a little boy with a skinned knee.

He used the phrase "middle school games" several times.

"HE MADE A MISTAKE! HE MADE A MISTAKE! HE'S HUMAN! YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE CONTEXT! HE'S CONCERNED ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS WHO HAVE REALLY BEEN HIT BY OBAMA'S POLICIES! CHRIS, YOU JUST CAN'T PLAY THIS GOTCHA GAME!"

Former Maryland Governor Bob Erlich, now a campaign manager for Romney.

Tweety's bringing up the Caymans and the Swiss bank accounts. Erlich's pissing himself and his mouth is locked into a petulant little pout. It's also PAINFULLY obvious that Erlich is a member of the Hair Club For Men©.

...and pretty much reflexively acted pretty much everone else (and him, up to only a short time prior) is expected to act when meeting a foreign dignitary who gets called "king" or "prince" or whatever, before he caught himself and recalled his new situation.

I don't recall the reaction on the Right being "meh, newbie mistake."

What I recall is they were so outraged that it still gets brought up years later. After having completely forgot the prvious guy outright smooching and hand-holding the same kind of dignitary from the same place (might even have been the same guy, don't recall off the top of my head).

So suck it, Bob!
