Romney should have listened to Condi before shooting off his mouth about Libya

Sometimes a newspaper editorial gets it exactly right. This is one
such time. Read the whole thing, if you can. But pay attention especially to
the last paragraph, which states that:

As for Mr. Romney, he would
do well to consider the example of Republican former secretary of state
Condoleezza Rice, who issued a statement Wednesday lamenting "the tragic loss of
life at our consulate," praising Mr. Stevens as "a wonderful officer and a
terrific diplomat" and offering "thoughts and prayers" to "all the loved ones
of the fallen." That was the appropriate response.

Not persuaded? Then read more here from
Republican apparatchik Ed Rogers. And more here from James Fallows, who
concludes that Romney
isn't ready for that 3 am phone call. Here's a roundup.
