When will Mitt Romney...

...have his Sister Soulja Moment?*

Will he have one?

The GOP nominee missed several opportunities during the primaries; the most notable was a couple of months ago when Rush Limbaugh called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute." When asked about it, Romney could only say that "...it's not the language I would have used." 

Really? What language would you have used?

Yesterday, Richard Grenell, Romney's openly gay foreign policy spokesman, resigned "in the wake of a full-court press by anti-gay conservatives," according to Washington Post writer (and Romney cheerleader) Jennifer Rubin.

So I repeat the question, When will Mitt Romney have his Sister Soulja Moment? Will he ever be able to stand up to the party's base, or is he a captive of the right wing?

* Sister Souljah (born Lisa Williamson, 1964) is an American hip hop-generation author, activist, recording artist, and film producer. She gained prominence for Bill Clinton's criticism of her remarks about race in the United States during the 1992 presidential campaign. Clinton's well-known repudiation of her comments led to what is now known in politics as a Sister Souljah moment. (Wikipedia)
