et al.: I marched with Mitt Romney. Well sorta metaphorically

.. well, actually, I think I may have seen him on TV, because I spotted that incredibly coiffed hair….
That loud pfffft sound you hear is the air being let out of Mitt Romney’s campaign, after his tortured explanation of how he “saw” his father marching with MLK. Kinda like when he was moved to tears when he heard on the radio that the Mormon church would allow strong, tall black athletes (oops, I meant men) would be admitted to the church’s ministry and Brigham Young’s varsity teams, so that the school could avoid being barred from bowl games and the NCAA tournament.
Dion may have “seen” Bobby K walking “over the hill, with Abraham, Martin, and John,” but seeing on Mitt’s part was more in the realm of halucinations. Ranks right up there with Clinton’s parsing of “I did not have sex with that woman.”
Can’t say that I was a big fan of Romney père, but at least he told it like it was about being “brainwashed” on Vietnam.
By contrast, Mitt “me first, principle second” Romney constantly plays fast and loose with the truth, and turns on a dime on what for the rest of us would be deeply-held beliefs on fundamental issues such as abortion rights, etc.
Those of us in the Bay State know one Mitt Romney — quasi-liberal (and totally ineffectual as governor) — that’s totally at odds with what he’s saying to pander to evangelicals in Iowa. If he were ever in a windsurfing contest with John Kerry, another noteworthy opportunist, Romney would tack so often that he’d lose miserably.
