1. The networks aren't there.. just the cables.. . .n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

2. That's what it was.

A rambling piece of crap.

[crazylikafox]

3. Now he's taking questions....

appears to be doubling down on his comments this AM

[Whovian]

4. Ho many "Uh's and ums" so far?

[Surya Gayatri]

6. Enough to make anybody "cringe"!

[Democat]

5. The family of the ambassador should demand an apology from Romney

Politicizing his murder is beyond the pale.

[Lucy Goosey]

7. I can't wait to get home and see the video!

I love a good word salad. I have a feeling this one might induce me to throw things at my TV, though.

8. holy shit....he is fumbling like crazy. he is in WAY over his head.

[fugop]

16. Now THIS guy needs a teleprompter!

Just watch the difference when President Obama fields questions. Mitt really. An't handle off the cuff at all, can he?

[Surya Gayatri]

18. Totally out of his depth--back to the wading pool for you, MittWit!

[Spazito]

9. Wow, he is doubling down and exacerbating his grossly inappropriate statement from...

last night. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

The media is calling him on last night's statement, good.

[fugop]

10. Can this guy not afford an editor?

My God, he blames the WH for standing by the embassy statement and then blames the WH for distancing itself from the embassy statement. How stupid is he? (no need to answer that.)

[surrealAmerican]

11. Is there a transcript of the "salad"?

This might be interesting.

[Surya Gayatri]

14. It's in real time--a transcript will come later, I expect.

[tjdee]

12. His "foreign policy":

1. Confidence in our cause
2. Clarity in our purpose.
3. Resolve in our might.



What is this dude doing lol???? Could it be ANY MORE VAGUE?

What does that even MEAN?

[pinboy3niner]

13. Absolutely tone-deaf!!!

This is going to hurt him.

Who's been coaching him--Sarah Palin?

[Surya Gayatri]

15. Epic fail!!!

[WilliamPitt]

17. I Skyped the gist to my co-workers. Transcript as best as I could manage

William Pitt: We're sad we're sad, freedom...and doubling down on saying the administration "sympathized" with the attackers.
[10:18:44 AM] William Pitt: "Mixed signals they're sending to the world."
[10:19:15 AM] William Pitt: "American leadership is necessary to ensure that events in the region do not spin out of control."
[10:19:39 AM] William Pitt: He's taking questions. Brace yourselves.
[10:20:01 AM] William Pitt: First question is about that. He's stammering.
[10:20:18 AM] William Pitt: "It's a terrible course to apologize for our values."
[10:20:30 AM] William Pitt: "An apology for America's values is never the right course."
[10:20:48 AM] William Pitt: All the questions are about his statement
[10:21:55 AM] William Pitt: "It's their administration. Their administration spoke.
[10:22:03 AM] William Pitt: "The embassy is their administration."
[10:22:30 AM] William Pitt: "The statement that came from the administration is akin to an apology."
[10:22:48 AM] William Pitt: Lots of stammering in that last one. Lots of stammering in general.
[10:23:28 AM] William Pitt: Question: did you jump the gun on the statement?
[10:24:41 AM] William Pitt: "I'm not going to take hypotheticals on what might have happened," in response to question of would you have made that statement if you knew the ambassador was dead.
[10:24:55 AM] William Pitt: HA. "President Obama has shown a lack of clarity on foreign policy."
[10:26:32 AM] William Pitt: The questions are all about the timing of his statement. The press isn't buying it. MSNBC just cut away.

[Surya Gayatri]

20. That's just about the size of it--doubling down on the

gaff from last night.

He couldn't look more un-presidential if he was caught in the bathroom with his pants down.

The heavy-browed, dear-in-headlights look didn't help any either.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Yikes, Klein did better in "Dave". The whole thing was actually very surreal...he was

acting like he was the actual president. Taking questions? How weird

[Tracer]

19. Apology! Apology! Apology!!!

Jeez Mitt, could you please politicize your answers a little bit more?

I didn't quite get what you were saying. Fucker.

[C_U_L8R]

21. Is it like chicken salad...

or just chicken shit ?

I really can't wait for the debates now.
Mitt unscripted is pure comedy gold.

[Surya Gayatri]

22. Both the form and contents--tongue-tied gobbledegook!

And, yes, I actually LOLed spontaneously!
