“Sometimes it helps to laugh. But Romney’s smirk is disturbing. It betrays a preternatural sense of entitlement and self-satisfaction that comes out, often inappropriately, in all sorts of ways, from his odd remark that “I like to be able to fire people that provide services to me” to insulting the cookies supporters served him or the rain gear fans wore to a NASCAR event. It seems related to the calm self-importance with which he belittled British planning for the Olympics, insulting our closest ally. The smirk is a cousin to another odd Romney tic – his tendency to chuckle at the wrong time, like when he was trying to deny cutting the hair of a gay high school classmate. Who chuckles when they’re trying to project compassion?”
-Joan Walsh, “Romney’s haunting smirk”
It’s very difficult to not conclude that Romneybot is a sociopath.
Romney’s profile fits that of a narcissistic sociopath. He lacks any empathy for others and finds it amusing when people get hurt or upset by his actions. The man is dangerous. When faced with the choice of war or diplomacy, he would have no compunction of choosing war if it fit his agenda.
Greetings my sexy and artful friends!
