This may get hidden, but in honor of the Romney campaign I'll quote my old Drill Sergeant anyway ... [View all]

[11 Bravo]

To a recruit at Fort Bragg, NC, in 1970, who continually dropped his pugil stick: "Boy! You could reach into a barrel of pussy and pull out a dick!"

I believe that the SGT was trying to indicate to the recruit in question, who was standing next to me at the time, that the recruit was not meeting the Drill Sergeant's expectations. (And the worst mistake of my then 19 years on this Earth was to laugh. I received a horizontal stroke, and after falling to the ground I was hit in the gut so hard that I couldn't breathe for a good 45 seconds. Trust me, Drill Sergeants do NOT want you to laugh ... even when they are REALLY funny!)

But back to my initial point, has there been a more clueless candidate in modern history than Mitt Romney? Is there a single constituency which he needs to sway that he hasn't somehow managed to alienate? Yeah, he will win the rich white guy vote in a walk. And that should be just about it.

Keep reaching into that barrel, Mitt.
