IS MITT ROMNEY TOO WEIRD TO BE PRESIDENT?

I'm serious. Mitt Romney has a rather slick and chisled look that one might think a President "ought" to look, but one often gets the sense underneath the surface may be a character of surpassing strangeness just waiting to come out. To wit:

"When asked his favorite novel in an interview shown yesterday on the Fox News Channel, Mitt Romney pointed to “Battlefield Earth,” a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. That book was turned into a film by John Travolta, a Scientologist."

Such statements are so given to scrutiny any candidate would be forgiven for giving a calculated response, but this is bizarre by any standard. Expect a "clarification" any minute now.
