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
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?
