So, the climax of Mitt Romney's gaffe-ridden trip abroad seemed to be "Kiss my ass!" According to one columnist:
Fear and Loathing in the Romney Campaign
The only problem is, we've already seen how well this kind of attitude worked for McCain/Palin, and Sharon Angle. Does the Romney campaign really think that shutting out the non-FOX press is going to be a winning strategy for the candidate who wants to be President?
For most of the campaign so far, Romney has pursued a media strategy that has become increasingly typical of Republican presidential candidates: Speak with Fox News, and avoid the rest of the national press corps. That is because Fox journalists (an oxymoron?) are far less likely to ask questions that the candidate doesn't wish to answer...The emerging truth about the man who will soon accept the Republican presidential nomination is that -- like Sarah Palin -- his handlers cannot trust him to cope with unscripted questions.
