He sank Mitt Romney’s battleship!

The worst candidate for president in my lifetime pulled his inane 1917 navy argument in the debate and the president sank him in thirty seconds of zingers:

“Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets …We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go under water, nuclear submarines … The question is not a game of Battleship, where we’re counting ships …”

Early in the debate Romney also apparently forgot Iran has a southern coastline on the Persian Gulf, making the claim that Syria was its route to the sea.

In any western nation except the United States, a Mitt Romney-esque candidate would be toast after his last two performances, each generating their own viral collective guffaws. (“Binders full of women” and tonight’s WWI navy excrement.)

And Romney was not just beaten last night. Obama destroyed him, showing the country exactly what the man is — a gazillionaire poseur who only gets away with continual mendacity because the US system is badly broken.

The Republic Party is insane and their candidate is but one symptom, albeit a big one, of the illness.

Mitt Romney is obviously surrounded by lickspittles. The proof? If his staff weren’t just a bushel basket of apple-polishers, someone would have told him to drop the ridiculous WWI navy shit weeks ago before it blew up in his face.

And, quite obviously, no one did. And the president politely kicked his teeth in.
