Chuck Toad: Romney was "neutered" because "easily offended host countries parse every word."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Just now on Morning Joe...Chuckie's doing damage control for Mitt. Mika and Mike Barnacle are dancing around the "This is a pattern for Romney, it's just who he is." Chuck wonders if Romney hired a Bush admin member as an adviser "as Obama did" before taking the trip.

1. I think Chuck's the one who has been to the Veterinarian

like most of the US media. When it comes to covering Republicans honestly, they've got the big old lamp shade cone over their head.

2. Chuck is so pathetic

Seriously, Chuckles, it's really not just the "easily offended host country" mocking Mitt. The whole world is mocking. And we're not so much "parsing his words" as we are simply reacting to exactly what he said.

I don't understand why Chuck is on TV - he's really terrible. His allegiance is clear, though he pretends to be unbiased.

3. Lipstick On A Pig...

Willard is now running FROM rather than running FOR.

He's supposed to be in London as a world leader...a former USOC head that was supposed to be the toast of the Olympics and with Mrs. Mittens riding to a gold medal. The American success story and we all just love success over all else

I had to laugh at Mikey Steele's tepid defense that people admire Willard's success and thus all the gaffes and cover-ups mean nothing...that we are all in awe of his wealth. Howard Dean took Mikey apart like a surgeon. But sadly, Mikey has a point...there are plenty out there who are willing to vote for Willard thinking he'll tinkle his riches down on them. Fools...all of them. Here's hoping there are more of us than them for the sake of this country...

4. It would be nice if that happened here

The Republicans would be finished!

5. It's time for NBC

to chuck Chuck.

7. once upon a time networks cared about the reputation of their news division

all they care about now is profit.
No profit (no commercials) in being good.

11. They could still replace him with Howard Stern

Zero loss of cred.

[rurallib]

13. true that

19. Isn't his son on msnbc too?

He can take his son with him when he moves to Fox Blues

[Arkana]

6. Good to know Todd's back on the Romney bootlicking bandwagon.

[Javaman]

8. "it's just who he is"

a wooden cut out of a human.

lost mittens is like Pinocchio but never changed into a human.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. Funny you should mention that...

...Google's current graphic shows Olympic athletes, one of which has a Pinocchio nose and looks...dare I say it...a little "Romneyesque."

[Alduin]

9. Romney did it to himself.

I never did like Chuckie.

[gollygee]

10. Says Mr. "You didn't build that"

When he knows "that" refers to something other than he pretends he thinks it refers to.

[ProSense]

12. Really?

"easily offended host countries parse every word."

Remember the outrage when Chavez insulted Bush?

You don't go into other countries and insult their leadership. It's downright moronic for someone who billed this as a trip to bolster is foreign policy creds.

[Botany]

15. No Chuck this is what happens when you have a press that really reports the news.

Mitt says stupid stuff in the states all the time but you, David Gregory,
and Wolf Blitzer clean up his blunders 24/7.

16. Chuckie, David "Raps-with-Rove" Gregory, Matt Lauer - even Brian Williams ...

All are Repubican sycophants, endlessly shilling GOP talking points.

[Gold Metal Flake]

17. Typical conservative media bias.

You can't flip a channel these days and not see some conservatively biased reporter or commentator shilling for a republican. The CMB is thick like fog.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. So Chuckie, why would America want somebody to offend the rest of the world?

I thought Mittwit said that he was going to undo all of the damage Obama had done to our image abroad.
