16. Even W was less awkward than the MittBot.

Yes, he was dumb and kind of crude, but he usually managed not to say things that would make you go, "What the hell did he mean by that?" And I don't recall that he ever insulted his hosts by dissing their food. It's hard to imagine, but Mitt could actually learn some campaigning lessons from dumb ol' W.

But wait -- I do remember, now, that he once made some bizarre remark about gynecologists wanting to share their love with women. Still, that was just a weird gaffe, not the comment of an alien.

What an idiot. No matter how hard he tries to appear livetohike Jun 2012 #1
