Finally, Mitt gets specific on something, only perhaps a bit too specific for it to show up to me like the truth.
In today's speech to the National Guard gathering, Mitt said he stopped and watched, from a distance, the aftermath of the Pentagon attack on 9/11. He said:
I could smell burning fuel, concrete, and steel. It was the smell of war.
I've smelled burning fuel, but I've never smelled what would be either unburned concrete and steel or else burning concrete and steel.
Makes me wonder if, in his bid to be specific and colorful, he just made that shit up. I certainly hope not, 'cause if he did, his soul is in jeopardy.
Just sayin'.
Now I'm going out to play some golf and, on the way, think about the folks who didn't make it that day 11 years ago.
