I don't know which is more pathetic: that Mitt Romney, who ran one of the dumbest presidential campaigns in history, is looking for a "do-over," or that the GOP, after crowing about their "deep bench" and their "young rising stars," is seriously considering turning back to this has-been (will John McCain be his VP?)

In Fox World: Are you kidding me? http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/fox-hosts-dub-uae-female-fighter-pilot-boobs-on-the-ground Two male co-hosts of Fox News' "The Five" cracked sexist jokes Wednesday about the United Arab Emirates' first female fighter pilot. Kimberly Guilfoyle took a moment to salute Major Mariam Al Mansouri, who reportedly led her country's airstrikes Monday against the Islamic State. Guilfoyle noted how rich it was that an Arab woman was leading the charge against the militant group, given that women aren't even allowed to drive in some countries in the region. "The problem is after she bombed it she couldn't park it," co-host Greg Gutfield quipped. "I salute her." "Would that be considered boobs on the ground or no?" Eric Bolling chimed in. . . .
