He put his foot his mouth.......AGAIN.

Very quickly............some asswipe Israeli in CA did a video depicting Mohammad as gay and a perv.....child molester, etc. Then that wonderful minister in FL added his flames to the mess. The American embassy in Egypt made a statement that the video was inappropriate BEFORE it was attacked by Egyptian Islamists. Some religious group attacked the Libyan embassy as well and has killed the ambassador.

This event prompted Mitt to pull a McCain. His campaign put out a press release last nite stating that the Obama administration was making excuses for the Islamists AFTER they attacked the embassies. Of course, that's not true.........the embassy criticized the video BEFORE the attack. And the Romney campaign preceded to go on a political rant.........claiming that Obama sides with the Islamists and condones attacks on US embassies. Of course, at that point they didn't know that three Americans had been killed including the ambassador.

This AM the context of the attack, the way it was done and the blatant political nature of it made Romney look like an asswipe. Instead of pulling back, he decided to double down and did a press conference this AM......through most of which he was smirking. The reporters were so enraged by his comments that they nearly attacked him. I have never seen reporters act in that manner before......not saying it has never happened before but I have never seen it happen.

Since then, the Romney campaign has been under attack by both Dems and GOPers. It looks like a replay of the McCain disaster 4 years ago but much more cynical and political.
