It took 8 years for the frat boy to rack up his score, and he could read people enough to pick his audience. Other than his Katrina flyover and botched PR gimmicks, it was only through unexpected cameras and leaks that his offenses made it into the open.

Mittens and Mrs. Mittens can't let a week go by without trying to charm people and ending up insulting them. They already rival W's total insult score. What's Mitten's excuse? Drunk on privilege?
