In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Romney On Libya: The Reviews Are In [View all]DirkGently
(12,151 posts)39. He's screwed up American foreign policy several times without even
holding office.
- Insulted Londoners by questioning whether they could handle the Olympics. 'Cause he's the expert in Olympics, you see.
- Misidentified Russia as our greatest enemy
- Jumped into the issue with a Chinese dissident while it was in progress, apparently hoping to screw it up.
Now this. So eager to jump in Limbaugh's pocket he couldn't be bothered to have the slightest idea what was happening before trying to cram it into the "apologizing for America" box the rightwingers so treasure.
He's crossed a line here, actively injecting himself into things he doesn't understand, endangering relations, coming off as the smug, disinterested dilettante he is.
And what comes through the most is a complete lack of human empathy. He couldn't possibly care less about a murdered ambassador or a consulate under siege. He'd feed his mother to piranhas to score a point. I don't see any way to read this guy other than as an entitled, arrogant rich guy who thinks of everyone around him as a disposable employee.
Romney's soullessness is more apparent every day.

for the Reich Wing, christofascist, Jesus-Hates-You crowd, it was just peachy.

Romney like any Republican can always turn any moment into a political opportunity. What scum-bag.

Political opportunism over a tragedy. Benghazians came out in protest against the terrorists.
