Mittens Has A Very Bad Week

It's not a good day for a politician when a foreign newspaper runs a headline that reads "Mitt the Twit." Now Newsweek piles on with a cover story titled "The Wimp Factor." Political junkies will remember that back in 1987, the same magazine called then-Vice President George H.W. Bush a wimp, but in the new story about Mitt Romney, Newsweek admits that was a mistake, saying that "in hindsight, Poppy looks like Dirty Harry compared with Romney."  Yowza. It's all keeping me amused and entertained during the hot hazy days of summer, and this is all before Rafalca takes the stage.
