Rick Gorka In Poland


"For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."  Those are the words of Jesus.  Politics is a tough business.  It tests the patience of those involved in it.  Romney and any other politician needs to seek out aides who do not insult people.  They need to be people with a sense of kindness and a sense of humor. Reporters are reporters.  They are not paid to be courteous.  But politicians and their aides need to be watchful of what they say.  Recently, Mitt Romney visited the tomb of the unknown soldier in Poland.  Reporters kept badgering Romney, trying to get him to answer some questions.  He answered none.  Finally, Rick Gorka, a Romney spokesman, told a journalist: "Kiss my ass."  Some time later, Gorka told another journalist to "shove it."  Gorka needs to learn some people skills.  He needs to realize that he should refrain from lowering himself to the level of rude reporters.  Some reporters are like rats scurrying around a garbage can.  He needs patience.  There is absolutely no need to talk to people this way.  It is wrong.  Show some class, Gorka.  And Mr. Romney: have a talk with Rick Gorka.  Be sure to mention that there are plenty of other people who are qualified for his job.
