Story on Romney and the Sikh and Sheikh confusion from the New Statesman.
In a competitive field, this may be Mitt Romney’s worst gaffe yet. Discussing the Wisconsin shooting last night, the Republican presidential candidate twice mistakenly used the word “sheikh”, denoting an Arab leader, rather than “Sikh”, the religion of the victims.
Oh yeah! He is sooooo ready to work with the middle east.
Speaking at a fundraising event in West Des Moines, he said:
I was in Chicago earlier today. We had a moment of silence in honor of the people who lost their lives at that sheikh temple. I noted that it was a tragedy for many, many reasons. Among them are the fact that people, the sheikh people are among the most peaceable and loving individuals you can imagine, as is their faith.
