Richard Grenell, who served briefly as Mitt Romney’s national security spokesman during his presidential campaign, wasn’t about to let Politico deputy editor Blake Hounshell get away with his cheap shot calling his former boss a “noted Iran expert.”

It’s true that President Obama did speak on the phone today with Iran’s president, which apparently makes him the nation’s ranking Iran expert. In an interview with CNN, though, Romney did caution against trusting Iran, telling Jake Tapper, “You have to be skeptical when people say, ‘We’re just looking for nuclear power,’ when their nation is on a lake of oil.”

@RichardGrenell Decidated journalist @blakehounshell views his job as speaking "truth" to the out-of-power.

It’s possible. Romney was widely ridiculed during the campaign for his warnings concerning Russia and its intentions. John Kerry, now Secretary of State and last seen arguing for a military strike on Syria, said that “Mitt Romney talks like he’s only seen Russia from watching ‘Rocky IV.'”

@RichardGrenell @blakehounshell Note that Romney correctly identified Putin as our main foe, and how he went on to kick Obama in the groin

The always quotable Jon Gabriel has a view quite similar to Romney. Beware of Iran, and beware of the lapdog media.
Can't wait to see the press rebrand Iran as our cuddly buddy. Look for profiles on the cute pink running shoes Rouhani wore to the UN.

The press will promote Hassan Rouhani as the Wendy Davis of the Middle East. #HolocaustBarbie

Maybe I'm being too harsh on the woman-beating, gay-murdering, medieval nihilist who wants to destroy America and all Jews. #MyBad

Obama has gone from wanting to bomb an Iranian client state to kissing Iran's ass in just two weeks. He has no geopolitical strategy at all.

Noted Iran expert John Kerry, what’s your take?
