For the pack of GOP presidential hopefuls, this was the second calamitous London trip in as many weeks. Last week found New Jersey Governor Chris Christie repeatedly putting his foot in his mouth during what was supposed to be a lay-up of a foreign visit.

What better way to honor President Lincoln’s birthday than by being proof positive of his famous adage: “Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
