What ya gotta love about Mitt--


He's a psychologist's dream subject; his primary-process thinking is always so close to the surface.

"I like to be able to fire people."

"I'm not concerned about the very poor."

"Millions, millions, millions"

You can expect the show to continue in this wonderful vein as long as he has center stage.

But maybe a little looser-wrapped than some.

Aw, scratch that. They're all in need of keepers.

He's spent his whole life insulated in a cocoon of inherited wealth that's separated him from the consequences of his actions, so he's lacking in self-control and social judgement.

Especially when he gets that look on his face that says "what?" in genuine confusion as to why whatever he just said could ever be considered problematic.

It is stunning in its audacity.
