Romney's zany campaign strategy

I suppose Willard thought he being clever with these remarks. In an interview on Wednesday when asked about Gingrich he told the NYT:

“Zany is not what we need in a president.”

“Zany is great in a campaign. It’s great on talk radio. It’s great in print, it makes for fun reading,” Mr. Romney told The New York Times. “But in terms of a president, we need a leader, and a leader needs to be someone who can bring Americans together.”

Somebody get this man a dictionary. Zany is Harpo Marx. Zany is Buddy Hackett. Zany is Robin Williams as Mork from Ork. Zany is Stephen Colbert. One might even stretch to call Charlie Sheen zany. Hell, I have zany moments myself.

Newt isn't zany. He's more like that doll Chucky from the horror movies. A seemingly harmless plaything that nobody believes is capable of doing truly creepy stuff. And by the time the adults figure it out, it's too late.
