Duck tape over the mouth might be a good remedy.

Do you recall the Larry Linville character, Major Frank Burns on the enormously popular CBS TV program M*A*S*H? Major Burns was the rich boy narcissistic and inept Doctor who was Major Margaaret ‘Hot lips’ Houluhan so-called secret lover. He was easily flustered and embarrassed by the relentless high school pranks perpetrated by Captains ‘Hawkeye’ Pierce and B J Honeycutt.

Never the less, Maj. Burns was often rumored around camp of his compromising romances, prattling excuses, and frat boy exaggerations. Most of which involved the supervising Army nurse, Hot Lips Houluhan. Major Burns was Often blustering and threatening revenge against the two Hi-Jinksters, Captains Pierce and Honeycutt. Most often with junior high rhetoric and nursery school besmirchment. “So there! Nannie nannie nannie.”

But anyway, the Larry Linville/Major Burns character is an exact profile of Mit Romney. Self-serving, arrogant, and easily tripped up by details. Knowing the facts is not his strong suit. Blustering and making it up on the fly is more Mit’s style. Only to later recant almost everything he bloviated earlier.

In the scheme of things, candidate Mit is just a Sitcom character. A “fall guy.” The unsuspecting patsy. A guy missing the other two Stooges. So far it’s been a pretty good laugh.
