Romney will need fresh Zingers to use on Foreign leaders if somehow he becomes President

After all Romney seems confident that a few well placed zingers during the debates are all it will take for him to defeat President Obama. Just suppose he's right, and he uses them and wins, and our national security ends up in his hands.

He will need new Zingers appropriate to resolving international disputes, even wars, on acceptable American terms. Since President Romney might get tested on day one in office, it's not too soon to offer him some advance assistance in this area.

What do you think might work with the leader of France? How bout "Your workers might have the stamina to work full 40 hour work weeks if you served American Fries in your cafeterias". Zing!

Venezuela? Maybe: "You know, Hugo rhymes with "you go", maybe you should take the hint". Zing!

Iran? Perhaps: "Keep pushing for nuclear weapons and you will end up in deep Shiite". Zing!

OK, OK I admit they can use more work, but we have an entire State Department he can put to work writing for him. He could even make Dennis Miller Secretary of State. There's a man who knows how to write Zingers, and he's not a Democrat. Pure Gold. Vote for the man with the best zingers, how often have we all said that? There's no reason to think that it is different on the world stage It seems obvious that the test of a true leader is the quality of the zingers his staff writes for him. Lets see if Romney meets that test at the first Presidential debate.
