“Because when you give a speech, you don’t give a laundry list.  You talk about the things that you think are important.”

– Mitt Romney, in response to a question from Fox News’ Bret Baier on why he didn’t mention the troops in his August 30 convention speech.

Romney may be in a statistical tie with President Obama among likely voters, but he’s already won the ‘Asshole of the Year’ contest as far as I’m concerned.  Note to Romney: our troops aren’t a laundry list!  They’re flesh and blood human beings who have sacrificed more than you’ll ever know; just so you and your trophy wife can build a house with an elevator for your Cadillacs.  But, I guess we should expect as much from a draft dodger in the same mold as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
