Mitticisms

Mitt Romney has a worse case of Rich Foot in Mouth disease than George H.W. Bush and John Kerry combined. A few favorites:
 
“I like being able to fire people.”
 
“I had to worry about a pink slip.”
 
(Of his $374,000-plus in speaking fees): “It wasn’t very much money.”
 
(Of the gap between the 1 percent and 99 percent): “These things should be talked about in quiet rooms” – not the hurly-burly of politics, apparently.
 
(On his recent tax rate): “It was about 15 percent.”
 
My only fear is that he might talk himself out of the Republican nomination.
 
In his defense, however, he strikes me as the kind of guy, unlike John McCain in 2008, who knows how many houses he owns.
