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.
