How the wheels fell off for Mittens yesterday

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post has an excellent read posted on how the wheels fell off just a little for Mitt Romney’s tightly choreographed presidential campaign the day after his narrow victory over Rick Santorum in the Iowa Caucuses on Tuesday.

Romney tried to regain control. “Excuse me,” he said. “You’ve had your chance.”

McCain walked toward the Occupy guy. “Be quiet,” he said, menacingly.

The woman, no longer in possession of a working microphone, began hollering.

“For those who didn’t hear,” Romney offered, “she says she loves this country and don’t put any Asians down. I hope I haven’t put any Asians down.”

The woman’s muffled shouting continued. Romney tried to answer. A baby started to cry.

When the end mercifully came, the candidate gave a final rallying call to “get the White House back.” All but a few rose and put on their coats without applauding.

When the end mercifully comes for Mitt Romney’s failed presidential campaign, it’s safe to say all but a very scant few will rise, put on their coats, and leave without applauding.

Has there ever been a presidential candidate who was more plastic and absent a soul than Mitt Romney?
