Sh]thead knows how dumb he is. No one has ever dared tell Mittens he is a nitwit, nor to tone anything down.
Edited to say, Laura lets him know every minute of every day what an idiot he is.

The President is far too well-mannered and dignified to take advantage of the shambles Nitt is creating. But, oh, I'd love to hear what he says to his trusted people.

Borat should actually take a run for US President...

Because he's got more of a clue than Mr. Romney.

Romney described as "The American Borat". Yep. I like that.

They have so much material for the fall campaign it isn't funny. Foreign policy klutz and clueless to boot - which plays into likability and confidence issues with Mitt - and this is where there is real long term damage from this relatively minor event. Yes, the economy is THE issue, and how does Mitt's London fiasco build confidence in his ability to bring together politicians of all stripes to manage complex economic challenges?
