Who Deserves A Flog Today?

The Flogging Whip wants to know who invited Foot-In-Mouth-Mitt-Romney to the Olympic Games in London? Oh, that's right. His wife's pricey horse is in the running, as it were, in the "Dressage Horse" competition. Beyond that, I ask, who does Romney think he is? I, among others, think that he is a completely out of touch with all common sense and political judgment kind of guy with too much money and a lifestyle so far beyond most Americans that the very idea of placing him in the Oval Office scares the Bee-Hay-Suse out of many, including members of his own party. To waltz into London criticizing the Olympic preparations (as everyone else has done) makes him less of a diplomat and just another Ugly American. Didn't his savvy political father teach him some manners during his privileged upbringing? Apparently not. Can you imagine this person in the midst of tension-riddled Peace Talks with feisty, angry countries? What would he do if he were to visit India, for example? Complain that the curry is too hot and the stench in the air too much for his pristine nostrils? (Yes, I wrote "pristine nostrils" and I'm sticking with it.) He has managed to piss off almost everyone in Britain with his foolish comments, uniting a city that, prior to his arrival, had been plagued with frustrated drivers, cabbies and more. Now the UK Flag is waving high and British Unity is safe once more! If nothing else, the dislike of this man could very well unite the currently politically dis-united U.S. – if only his GOP Brothers and Sisters would stand up a bit taller and refuse to nominate him as their choice for Prez. They did try. Didn't work. So, this is the best they can do? I tell you what. If he wins in November it will be due to Obama's dilly-dallying on issues of great concern to his Base, and then you-know-who will be deserving a Flog every day as Americans watch their social programs sink to the bottom of our ever-rising oceans; more out-sourcing of jobs; and a man without a spine who will do and say anything (and lie) to do what? Send the U.S. back to the Dark Ages of back alley abortions? What an embarrassment Romney has been for the GOP. What a delight it is to those of us who will not be voting for him this fall. So, although I'm Flogging the Mitt, I'm also laughing a bit.
