Mr. Romney's colossal screw up brings shame to him, his party, and his defenders.
Often in this country we take politics the way we take our sports. As a game. Who's up. Who's down. We cheer our team and with laugh and joke when the other guy's team sucks. It can be fun. I love a good sarcastic political jab. That's a good part of what this entire site is about.
But yesterday four people died. Four Americans were murdered seemingly over a movie.
Mr. Romney's response was absolutely ridiculous. And he deserves to be ridiculed.
But we would do well to remember that yesterday four people died.
Four people died while serving us. They served not as soldiers but as peace makers. Diplomats. We should be mindful of their loss.
So while we may laugh at Mr. Romney's gross incompetence, we should remain mindful less we become as craven as he,
that four people died yesterday.
