" Mitt Romney’s American Safari" [View all]

By Jonathan Capehart


"As we learned and saw during his quest to secure the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney has a habit of doing two things he apparently hopes will ingratiate himself to voters. One is flat-out pandering. The other is waxing amazed at what he just saw or who he has just met as if he were a traveler in a strange and distant land for the first time. This latter trait is so disconcerting that when the former Massachusetts governor was making his way through the South in March, I made this pithy observation.

With regard to Mitt Romney, poor guy, the only second time he’s had catfish ever and cheesy grits and a biscuit, it’s almost as if we’re watching Mitt Romney on safari in his own country."
