Dog On Roof

"They clearly--they clearly sent mixed messages to the world. And--and the statement came from the administration--and the embassy is the administration--the statement that came from the administration was a --was a statement which is akin to apology and I think was a--a--a severe miscalculation."
                          --Mitt Romney

The embassy's comment "is like the judge telling the woman that got raped, 'You asked for it because of the way you dressed.' That's the same thing."
                            --Senator John Kyl (Arizona-R)

"It was disheartening to hear the administration condemn Americans engaging in free speech that hurt the feelings of Muslims."
                                --Senator Jim DeMint (? Demented--South Carolina-R)

"We deplore the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims--as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions."
                                   --statement United States embassy, Cairo.


But the best comment on the murders of an American ambassador and 3 other diplomats, comes, not surprisingly from Gail Collins, who actually wrote an article about Mitt Romney without once mentioning the dog strapped to the top of the car.
She wrote:

"All the uneasy feelings you got when he went to London and dissed the Olympic organizers can now come into full bloom. Feel free to worry about anything. That he'd declare war on Malta.  Lock himself in a nuclear missile silo and refuse to come out until there's a tax cut. Hand the country over to space aliens."

The best line was probably from President Obama, who noted Mr. Romney "Tends to shoot first and aim later. This is something you learn not to do, if you want to be President."

My only regret is I have not hear Rush Limbaugh on Mitt's comments.  You know he is capable of making Mitt look thoughtful and judicious.
