Mitty

So Romney knowingly put a quote in his ad accredited to Obama that was actually from John McCain.  In the real world, such a thing would be subject to a lawsuit; in the gamesmanship of politics not only is it perfectly acceptable, but any questioning of it will surely be seen as an assault on "real America! by the Lamestream Media," forcing Republicans into doing the unthinkable: using their usual doubling down on refuting facts and reason so as to defend that most Obamaesque among them, Mitt Romney.  GOP brains must truly be spraining right now.

Are we really this much closer to a Pro-Tools crafted ad wherein a political candidate "quotes" his opponent in an ad "Hi, I'm ______, I sure do like fucking little kids, and hope to start with yours when I'm elected!"?
