Romney should be glad that Barbour made news yesterday, because his blunder — mistakenly saying that Obama has been engaged in “one of the biggest PEACETIME spending binges in American history” — was an unforced error for the one-term former governor. A Romney spokeswoman later told First Read, “He meant to say since World War II.” (Yet how does one misspeak in an unfiltered op-ed?) The good news here for Romney is that the slow start to the GOP race minimized any damage (what if this had occurred at a debate or when all the camps’ war rooms are fully operational?). The potential bad news: The slow start only will magnify future gaffes and blunders when the GOP campaign is fully underway.
No, the fact that Mitt Romney is a superhuman bore and calling a period in which three wars are being fought “peacetime” is also pretty boring, especially when that’s written by such a boring man. The boring bore’s boring start will only magnify his boring until boring bore bore boring boring boring bore boring bore bore zzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This article is boring.
And yet warlike.
…for the peacetime we're in…
If it is warlike, then you know Mitt's sons had nothing to do with it.
As you know, you go to warblog with the article you have, not with the article you might want or wish to have at a later time.
It's like rereading War and Peace.
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.
How I miss Michael Steele……..his departure meant the death of Muppet Michael Steele, and that is a tragedy.
Uprating your comment just about bored me to tears.
Mittens just needs to do a phto spread in his magic underwear. Then he'll go from boring to vomit inducing.
Mitt should let his hair speak for him.
Four score and seven years ago our follicles brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation…
Damn. That was the comment I wanted to make.
Sure, he's boring and an idiot, but his hair! My God, the hair of perfection!
Unlike Trump, whose hair obviously talks to him.
needz moar magic undies.
Where's the Mittens packing fudge pic? No article of him should be without it.
Needs more batshit lunacy. C'mon Mitt, STEP IT UP.
…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *snort* [blinks, looks around] Huh? Wait, where am I? What's going on? Is it 2012 yet?
Better: is it January 2013 yet?
Even better: Is it December 21, 2012 yet?
But, where is my flying car….dammit!!!
Eh, I think it's still in China.
Great. The closeted downfister is at it again. I assume that means he is a big Romney fan, and supports abortion, gay marriage and government run medicine. He is probably a union member too. Shame he apparently can't think of anything witty to say, but his mind probably has problems doing more than clicking on a mouse butt ton. Upfists to all!
Upfisted for mentioning 'mouse butt'
I'm a very lonely man.
And, apparently, a very small man.
Lunch is ready. Toilet is clogged. natoslug is tired.
I don't want to know how those 3 are connected.
Fortunately, the clogged toilet is a result of lunch, not the other way 'round. I haven't been reduced to living the Breitbartian dream.
if you really study the Book of Mormon you will find a little known passage that I'll paraphrase below:
Moroni 1:34-40 Lo, the angle of your majik panties sayeth, vote for Mittens lest you forfeit all odd wives save wife number uno and tres. No habla english, men named for lizardlike beings are of the devil. Poors suck so I will send unto you the Dead Kennedy's…
Mittens made a booboo, much like the time he peed behind the couch. Bad Mittens, bad.
I bet he lost pee points for that.
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For confusing the thoughts everyone has
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For making many mistakes
Just when I needed to
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I want to thank you
Please, thank you, oh
The problem's plain to see
Too much Wingnut Ideology
Buzz Words to save our lives
Buzz Words de-humanize
The time has come at last
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
To throw away this (plastic) hair
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see
(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity, I'm Mittens, Mittens, Mittens, Mittens!
War, peace. It's all so damn confusing…
This isn't "peacetime?" Where's the Congressional declaration of war?
That is so '40s.
Needz moar quadruple-GITMO.
He meant charlie sheen, and he meant "warlock spending".
Perhaps he would be more articulate if he had quit halfway through his first term as governor, had an awful Fargo, North Dakota/Minnesota accent, and a third rate education.
Note to Trump: How does Obama's education compare to Palin's?
Leave Pawlenty alone !
What he meant to say is, we aren't in any wars because no wars have been declared. You know – just like Vietnam and Korea weren't wars either.
He's behind the Donald in the polls. Until he embraces the full-on lunatic racism and stupidity, the Rethug base just can't relate.
But in other news, I'm starting to suspect Larry Flynt has a new book coming out?
Mitt forgot the war on Christmas?
When you're swaddled in supertight magical underpants, it's hard to keep the outrage focused. Just ask Beck.
Is Mitt Romney talking in my sleep again?
ZOMG he said we're not at war even though don't look now it ain't you or me over there
"Dammit! That hurt!" {lifts face off keyboard} I was about to make a really funny comment but fell asleep and the next thing I know, my face is in the keyboard and when I look at the screen, the browser has taken me to some loser's blog about his trip to the San Diego Zoo.
Now, where was I? Right, Mittens . . . zzzzzzzzzzzz "Dammit! That hurt!"
I love a good time loop story!!!
I think what he meant to say was “One nation under sex, comrades!”
Woof, woof!
I made myself a sandwich, had a nap, fed the dog, came back and this story is still here? Whatthefuck Mitt. Why don't you go and fucking DO something.
Some lefty made a complaint about the Republitards that I have to agree with. They have to go so far to the right that Obama can track to the center–but the center is somewhere just right of the Gilded Age.
I hate Republics.
ed note: To those who don't know, I call them Republics to get even with them for calling us the Democrat Party. Oh, and I fucking hate Republics, just in case you didn't get my message correctly.
I'm partial to calling them Reeps, as in creeps, but your term works too.
BTW: I also fucking hate Reeps, Republics, or whatever else we're calling them (I've also heard Repukes, Rethuglicans, and Republitards)
This is just Romney pretending Obama's Three Wars are not important.
Basically, giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy by criticizing America's CiC.
# WHY DOES ROMNEY HATE THE TROOPS?
To be fair, "peacetime" is a relative thing.
I believe it was John Lenin who once said, "War is over, if you ignore it."
No, no. That was Groucho Stalin.
He meant nap time. Big nap time budget.
WTF – is Mittens trying to win the 2011 T-PAW award for ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Romney/Pawlenty-wrapping up the insomniac vote, fer shure.
A bore-off between Romney and T-Paw would be excitingly … boring.
How 'bout we just call them the Misogynistic Racialists Party. MRP's suck herpetic cock.
Nah, all that salt might cause some bloating issues for Chris Christie.
I guess the point I'm trying to get across is that the Gubnah of Joisey is a fat fuck.
Right now, I am desperately trying to lose weight strictly for political reasons. I don't want to be associated with all the pasty, fat, dumb screechers screeching gibberish.
I'm stuck with pasty, though.
Romney-T-Paw 2012 will cost Pharma big. The last typrewriter factory closed today. Ambien will be next.
OT but I didn't know that Larry Flynt was even still alive. Seems like now would be a good time for one of you guys to say 'tits or GTFO'.
I was afraid this might happen. The Reeps have figured out that they are amusing us all with their idiotic ramblings, so now they want to counter – act that effect by putting us all to sleep. Nice try, Mittens, but good luck getting the freaks you are competing with to go along…
"He meant to say… just jibbering!?"
Obviously this was not meant to be taken as a factual statement.
So we saved money in Vietnam? Maybe we should just do that again.
Weimar Republicans.
People, I haven't been this bored since the cross country trip my parents took me on when I was 8 and strapped me to the roof of the car. Shitting myself was the highlight of this disneyland adventure.
Peacetime? The US has been in a near constant state of war since WW2. What peacetime has there been since WW2? The three months in the 80's between Grenada and the other Libya bombing?
Makes me long for the days when the media paid attention to Sarah Palin.
If this is a Mitten's peace time I'd hate to see his war.
I so love our republican idiots. Palin, Bachman, Trump, Mittins, Huckleberry, the whole crew is just so much fun. I still hope Palin is their pick because I just love that Tina Fey.
Since no one will be paying attention to a comment this old, hey–do we know each other? Tuck? Or did you just randomly remember that I have randomly mentioned Stillwater? There's me, okiedokie and . . . are you an okie, as well? Are we part of the okie wonkette society, a shadowy group of leftys who, with generous use of sarcastic humor, help each other keep our right minds in tact in spite of living in an ocean of morons?
Didn't mean to be nefarious, but yes I remembered you talking about Stillwater. Tuck my brother is a librarian there and he has been sending me updates on his battle with city hall. didn't mean to freak you out. I'm from a family of mostly transplanted Okies, but there are still plenty left in what our family likes to call the polyp of America.
