Forget for a second how YOU feel. How do you think Mitch Rmoney's statements were received today?

Whoever is reading this probably feels the same as I do about him. But how do you think those 9% in the middle feel about him today? Or even the more sentient among his supporters?

His handlers have GOT to be shitting in their pantz.

That's how I think his comments were taken.

The minute he said Khanshtitushhshun instead of Constitution, I knew that he was "on" something, and he wasn't gonna make a lick of sense.

Aside from his remarks, he looked every minute of his stated age--no four hundred dollar make-up job...either that, or the lighting was cruel. Hair too dark, too--either a bad dye job this time around, or too much pomade.

He looked like a carefully crafted robot at the point of starting to become unhinged...

6. I think that if the MSM hadn't called him on his BS, they'd have believed what he said

... about Obama apologizing, because before the Republican convention and Ryan's speech, the established reputation of the campaign for lying hadn't really gotten started yet. And I think that if the race hadn't devolved into the disaster for Romney that it is becoming, the MSM wouldn't be making such a big deal out of his pathetic and embarrassing attempts to capitalize on this tragedy. But now, I think those who are still in the middle will finally hear from news sources they trust that his comments were unreservedly stupid. The close race story isn't believable any more, so the MSM have this new reality-TV-type story that will keep viewers interested. The Romney campaign is like Jersey Shore... viewers will watch because they can't believe people actually behave as disgracefully as that.

In contrast both The President and Clinton were able to speak about those killed in personal terms.
And I don't remember Robot even using their names
I was watching Robot trying to see some sliver of humanity, but I was left with a feeling that he was happy this happened

And now there is a photo of him smirking which confirms my worst fears. This man has not soul

8. The right leaning people on NBC (David, Joe, Chuck) weren't happy

but the right wing blogosphere is very happy! It's hard to say, but based on the repubs on MSNBC, my guess is that the middle will be unhappy.

with the people who went out and bought a large economy size box of Kleenex when they heard Glenn Beck was returning to cable TV,but with everyone else - not so much.

acting like he already was in office, upstaging the President. The same ones here in WI that didn't like Walker but hated recalls more were thet same type.
