This is from The Rachel Maddow Show and it runs almost 15 minutes. It's a pretty damning segment on Mitt Romney's tendency to say a lot of things which are untrue and/or in direct conflict with what he said not long before. I offer it here not because I think it'll change anyone's mind but because you might enjoy a preview of the upcoming election…assuming Romney heads up the G.O.P. ticket. Heck, it'll also be the theme of the remaining attempts to deny him that honor.
The thing I find most interesting here is that Romney is only now starting to get the image of a truth mangler. Prior to this, he's been a flip-flopper, which is not quite the same thing. I mean, if a guy previously held a view contrary to yours and now he agrees with you, you can kind of think, "Well, at least he's seen the light." At some point though, folks start to perceive a total disconnect between what a candidate says and reality. Not that I think it'll cost him the nomination but I think Romney's there…and boy, do I wish I owned stock in Etch-a-Sketch because we're going to be hearing a lot about that product, aka The Original iPad.
