You Weren't Win Cali Anyway Mitt Might As Well Insult Them

[Slick]

Somehow Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has developed a knack for hurling insults at the wrong people at the wrong time. This time, he's chucked one at his own potential voters and donors in California.
Speaking in Iowa Wednesday, Romney compared California's economy to Greece's economic crisis.
"Entrepreneurs and business people around the world and here at home think that at some point America is going to become like Greece or like Spain or Italy, or like California -- just kidding about that one, in some ways," he said, according to the Associated Press.
Aides came to his defense soon afterward, saying the candidate was only joking and has made the joke before.
But a spokesman for California Govenor Jerry Brown did not find what he called a "paper-thin Republican talking point" funny, saying that Romney ?should get some better speechwriters who actually know what they?re talking about.?

Pro-life Republicans routinely lose Cali by 2 to 3 million votes.

Rich California contributors realize this and will continue to send money; additionally they more than anyone else would know that he sort of has a point, joking or not.

So this one is a wash; no blood, no foul...

I actually don't think it was intended as a joke; it think it became a joke after the fact, after being reviewed by the ubiquitous "damage control" department of the Romney campaing...
