The most brilliant palindrome of all time?

Romney surrogate John Sununu has been making headlines lately, and not in a good way—no one was too jazzed about his saying the president needs to “learn how to be an American,” or that he “has no idea how the American system functions, and we shouldn’t be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia.”

Newspapers called Sununu a liability for Romney and this guy tweeted:

Whaaaaat!? It actually is a palindrome.

I don’t know about you guys but my mind is blown all over my computer screen and it’ll probably take all weekend to clean up.

This may win the award for most brilliant palindrome of all time. It’s way more impressive than “A man, a plan, a canal, Panama,” because it’s not only a grammatically complete sentence, but it’s friggin topical. Amazing.
