Weenie or Wimp?

 A Newsweek writer has revived  the controversy about whether Mitty Romney is a weenie or a wimp. On the wimp side is the fact that Mitty spent his Vietnam War years in Europe learning to speak French. He lets his fearless wife ride the horse. And in a recent photo op Mitty was seen clinging to his wife's ample back while she drove a jet ski; as Paul Begala put it, Mitty is "like a helpless papoose."

Or is Mitty a weenie, the sort of awkward rich butthead who gets every social situation a little wrong, beats up on misfits and cuts their hair and criticizes his host's cooking? Or is he a sociopath ("I like to fire people")?
