Get it together, Mitt

Competing with Jeanine Pirro to make the most incompetent campaign announcement appearance ever, Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachusetts, formally declared his candidacy for the presidency in a museum honoring Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan.

First mistake. Ford, man. Henry Ford--automotive pioneer, innovative industrialist and... rabid anti-Semite, who, according to the National Jewish Democratic Council, was given the "Grand Service Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle" by Adolf Hitler. Ouch.

More funny, though slightly less embarrassing: this is the photo of his announcement speech that is running on the New York Times webpage--and, presumably, print edition:

The caption: "We are weary of the bickering and bombast, we’re fatigued by the posturing and self-promotion." Uh-huh. Right. Fatigued of posturing...and... self...promotion. (Is that a 747 behind you, Mr. Romney?) Wait. Have I seen this picture before? Oh, I think I'm confusing it with...

Yeah, you guys are real humble. Next time you should take your photo in front of some tanks, or, like, a rocket. This is the humble way to go.

Update: It only gets better. Check out his flip flops--which I posted about earlier--here and here.
