So yes, Romney's "I'm not concerned about the very poor" comments are a reminder of his many failings as a politician.
Paul Lawrie, a Scot who was a teammate of McDowell's on last year's Ryder Cup squad, begged to differ, telling The Herald of Scotland, "Everyone is entitled to their opinions but they were poor comments".
I had to recently change my privacy settings to only allow friends of friends to comment on my posts because I was getting so many poor comments on my posts (when I did that the poor quality posts instantly stopped).
One might almost feel sympathy for poor Chris Huhne (Comment, 9 September).
When Mr. Romney recently got hammered for saying he was "not concerned about the very poor," a comment he later said was a misstatement, Mr. Backus said he and his father had a discussion about how they knew Mr. Romney could not have meant the statement the way it came out, because the Mormon Church teaches the importance of caring for the poor.
On Wednesday morning in an interview with CNN, Mr. Romney said, "I'm not concerned about the very poor," a comment that has ricocheted around the Web and cable news channels, and that Mr. Romney took pains to clarify in a brief conversation with reporters as he flew to Minnesota.
So, if a reader tells you your blog's content quality is poor, that comment will probably make you cringe just a little.
I'm also guessing publishers will take a pretty heavy hand with moderating the comments that appear in the feed, given how poor many comments appear on popular sites.
The play satirises attitudes towards food poverty and the "feckless poor" while commenting on our obsession with reality TV.
