"With all due respect, sir, shut the fuck up"

In not so many words, David Axelrod tells Mitt Romney that the former governor is an ass.

"You know, I know that Governor Romney has never had responsibility for any decision akin to this, so he just may not be familiar with all that it entails. But I think the American people are being well served by a process that is assiduous and in which every aspect of this is considered. Because, after all, lives of American servicemen are involved here. An enormous investment on the part of the American people, we ought to get it right."

It would be an encouraging sign if we actually took the time to get our war strategies right before rushing in. It would a cold day hell for a present day conservative to appreciate that.
