An awkward attempt at patriotic jingoism from Mitt Romneybot

Mitt Romney's Babel fish translator must be malfunctioning:

Romney's full interview on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight airs at 9:00 PM ET Yeah, something's definitely gone haywire in that CPU of his. Otherwise, how else do you explain Mitt using these words in this order in the same sentence?
Our nation's leadership has been perhaps the greatest source of a national entity's good that you've seen on the world stage.
"Greatest source of a national entity's good"? I mean, it's not that hard to figure out what he was trying to say ... but who actually says it like that? Mitt Romney, that's who, I guess.

But the real question is why does Romney say it like that? I was at a loss, so I asked Twitter. Within minutes came the answer: Mitt Romney had outsourced his patriotic jingoism overseas, you see. And this is what happened when he translated it back into English.
