Best Description of Romney Yet (with update)

Charles Pierce had this to say about Romney after the last debate, and it is spot-on:

Romney bitched endlessly — endlessly — about the rules, and why this uppity fellow on the other stool was allowed to speak before he was spoken to, and why he didn't get to speak at length on whatever he wanted to speak on because, after all, he is the CEO of the stage.

Jesus Christ, I'd hate to play golf with the man. He's the guy who counts to make sure you don't have too many wedges in your bag. He knows every cheap subsection of every cheap ground rule, and he'll call you on every one of them. You couldn't get a free drop out of him with thumbscrews, and forget about conceding any putt outside two inches.

And then, on the 18th hole, with all the money on the line, he kicks his ball out of the rough and denies up and down to the rules committee that he did it. Then he goes into the clubhouse bar and nobody sits with him.

Romney did some of this at the first debate as well and it'll be interesting to see whether he pulls this crap tonight. I have no doubt that Mitt's handlers have told him to tone it down, but something tells me that he won't be able to help himself.

After all, he is what he is, and he is a dick.

UPDATE:   If a question about last month's Libya attack is asked at tonight's debate (and I'm sure there will be one), I predict that Obama will bring up the comments Ronald Reagan made immediately after Jimmy Carter's attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages ended in disaster.  Reagan said that "this is the time for us as a nation and a people to stand united" and to pray. 

Romney, however, decided to launch a political attack on Obama as the events in Libya were unfolding.  So unReaganlike.
