Mitt Romney mistakenly confused the words “Sikh” and “sheik” at a fundraiser here Tuesday night when he offered his condolences to the victims of last weekend’s shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. [...] Sheik is an Arabic honorific, whereas Sikh is a religion with roots in South Asia.
That might be worth a guffaw or two, but things got really uproarious when Romney's in-house comedian Rick "Kiss my ass, this is a Holy site" Gorka defended his boss:
Reporters questioned Romney spokesman Rick Gorka about the mistake after the event. He said Romney simply “misspoke.”“It was the end of the day,” Gorka said. “He mispronounced similar sounding words. He was clearly referring to the tragedy in Wisconsin. You clearly heard him talk about it earlier today in Chicago.”
if he would just gag hisself till Nov. 7th he might mae a decent showing, but not celebratory.
this guy does not show himself as a formidable leader, is he so distracted he can't remember where he is or what not to say? or is he still wihing Annie was there to pull his bacon out of the fire. will she answer that 3am call to the WH?
