Romney Is As Romney Does

I did not know this...

This is not a spoof.  This is for real.  Truth is stranger than satire.

Meanwhile, turning to the present day Romney, Harry Reid continues his offensive on HMS Willard's tax history.  Reid shocked the political world by announcing that he had a secret informant, referred to only as Damp Threat, who Reid says told him that Romney (the humanoid Mor(m)on, not the ship) hadn’t paid any taxes over a ten year stretch.  The Romney camp was apoplectic, demanding that Reid “put up or shut up.”  Reid, a Mormon sporting both ‘m’s and a former boxer, sensed an opening and brushed off Romney’s limp jab.  Reid refused to back down and simply suggested Romney release the appropriate tax returns if he wanted to put the issue to rest.  Advantage Reid.

Reid continues to play it cagey on his source, dishing out details little by little.  Personally, I don’t care if his source is Ann Romney or the ghost of Hunter Thompson.  It’s time the Democrats started fighting back with the tactics that keep beating them.  The tactics perfected by Karl Rove’s mentor Lee Atwater, who plied his filth in the service of Richard Nixon, and taken to new lows by Bush’s “brain” – Rove himself.  These guys knew it didn't matter if what you said was true or not, just get it out there and let it fester.  Once the truth comes out, it's usually too late to matter.
