Scott Brown sees Mitt Romney as an Ebola repellent

Ordinarily, candidates for major public offices get better as campaigns progress. The improvements tend to be organic – politicians do more interviews, make more appearances, deliver more speeches, and answer more questions, and the process hones their skills. Practice makes perfect.

Scott Brown, however, is one of those rare candidates who defies the odds. As the only politician in the country who’s run in three separate U.S. Senate campaigns in four years, one might assume he’d be the sharpest and most pitch-perfect candidate in America.

And yet, the Republican is arguably getting worse. Brown has gone from suggesting terrorists will strike by sneaking through Mexico with Ebola to arguing that Mitt Romney could stop Ebola with his amazing Romney-esque talents....

“Gosh can you imagine if Mitt was the president right now?” Brown said. “He was right on Russia, he was right on Obamacare, he was right on the economy. And I guarantee you we would not be worrying about Ebola right now and, you know, worrying about our foreign policy screw ups.”

1. Scott Brown is right for a change

Instead we would be worrying about more underwater mortgages, higher unemployment, war with the Soviet Union, and even greater income inequality.

5. Soviet Union is gone

but, yeah.

6. In the real world the Soviet Union is gone...

2. Actually, Mittwit could be an Ebola carrier

How do we know his chauffeur isn't from Liberia?

3. Mitt is certainly repellent.

4. Why am I picturing that classic SNL take on George W, redux with Romney. . .

the one where Wil Ferrel as W is cowering behind his desk, breathlessly relaying to someone on the phone all the troubles he's had since becoming President. (This took place right after either the election or the inauguration, and was supposedly set about 6 months in the future, so maybe June 2001.) At one point, W blurts out in exasperation,

"No one ever told me the Great Lakes could catch on fire!"

And that's how I picture a Romney presidency: a succession of seemingly impossible clusterph@cks, presided over by a breathlessly incompetent fool.

Same as W's terms.
