(Photo Courtesy of Buddy Stone) It would appear that no one's campaign is safe from the sticky-tipped finger of fate anymore. Seems Mitt Romney is now the victim of the same tactics applied to former NYC Mayor Rudy Guliani. According to a leaked document quoted in the Boston Globe - --no love lost there, Mittster! --- the campaign apparatchiks are concerned that " ... His hair looks too perfect, he's not a tough war time leader, and he has earned a reputation as "Slick Dancing Mitt" or "Flip-Flop Mitt."
All that tied in a bow within a 77-slide PowerPoint presentation. The Globe even provided a graphic supposedly from the original (though they did not hesitate to use the branding opportunity for themselves).
I guess you could ask yourself, is this really journalism, or just folks trying to act smarmy at the expense of another's (choose one) fuck-up/duh-moment/larceny? Yes, it is news. And yes, it's fun to read how they are trying to make him ultra conservative AND personable all at the same trough. Which further leads me to believe he is NOT the ultra-conservative he is painting himself these days.
Faust, anyone?
But I really enjoyed the "Things He Can Run Against" bullet list, topped by FRANCE. Will Mitt declare war against the Great Contrarian Nation? What fun! Almost as funny as that BBC mini series The State Within. Bring back the documentaries on Cambrian Cheese!
