As always, Rachel performs an exquisite dissection of Romney's video.

Bit by bit. In addition to all else pointing out that as per his remarks about Hezbollah, he has no idea what a "dirty bomb" is. And Dan Rather's right in there with her, shaking his head and marvelling.

It is a thing of beauty.

3. Oh, Rmoroney was already scary stupid. That dirty bomb revelation means he's fatally stupid.

Someone, please. Put him out of our misery. Take him to a desert island and give him mountains of gold bullion to play with until he dies.

what he said about dirty bombs. Could you enlighten us, please?

I have read that a transcript will eventually be available, but I'd love to know about some of the stuff other than the parts that have already been quoted in print!

5. Sorry. I'm internet deficient. But he was giving Hezbollah advice on how to terrorize America.

If he was Iran he'd smuggle material into NYC and set off a dirty bomb. As Rachel pointed out, a dirty bomb is any kind of bomb into which radioactive material has been inserted, even radioactive hospital waste. It's not a nuke. He doesn't seem to know that.

Not to mention the terrorism advice, which Lawrence O'Donnell is ALL OVER.
