Schweitzer glues his foot in his mouth

Updated. And he’ll have a hard time ever getting it out. His characterizations of Sen. Diane Feinstein and Rep. Eric Cantor were, to be charitable, ungentlemanly and vulgar; certainly not commensurate with the level of civility we should expect from someone who wants us to consider himself qualified to be President. I sometimes wonder whether Schweitzer tosses down a shot or two before talking to journalists. But I don’t wonder whether he really wants to be President. I don’t think he does. Otherwise, he’d exercise more self-discipline. At some point he’ll probably apologize, but he won’t be able to unring the bell.

Update. He apologized, and accurately described his remarks as “stupid,” but he didn’t unring the bell:
