Mitt Romney


Just asking: Does anyone else think Mitt "my sons serve their country by helping their dad become President" Romney is an empty suit? The guy oozes as much intellect as George W. Bush did 8 long years ago when people began asking themselves, "Is this guy smart enough to be President?"

The guy oozes as much intellect as George W. Bush did 8 long years ago when people began asking themselves, "Is this guy smart enough to be President?"

The considered response to that extremely salient (and prescient) question was usually some comment about how Bush as president would surround himself with experts. The experts turned out to be geniuses like FEMA Director Brown, Harriet "Sure I'll be your patsy on the Supreme Court" Meiers, Paul "The Iraq War will pay for itself" Wolfowitz, Dick "Last throes" Cheney, Don "We'll be greeted with flowers" Rumsfeld, and Al "the Constitution does not guarantee Habeas Corpus" Gonzales.

So who will Mitt surround himself with? More GOP retreads and hangers on from the Reagan era?

Larger question: In a corporate capitalist society, does the "marketplace of ideas" yield anything besides mediocre intellects with lots of money and a tenuous connection to the principals enshrined in the Constitution?
