The Washington Post is so desperate to shill for Dan Balz's book on Willard Mitt Romney and his pathetic Presidential campaign that the paper ran a very long excerpt in its print edition today. Ugh. We cats wish we hadn't seen that before breakfast.
But in case you're wondering if anything's changed in the World of Willy since November 6, 2012, the answer is: Not much. Romney is still revolting company — his wooden persona a total puzzle until you realize that's just what he is: a hollow, soulless shell of a man. Oh, unless you count the fact that he's now denying he ever said what he said about the 47 percent.
"Actually, I didn't say that," he brazenly declares to Balz. "That's how it began to be perceived."
Gosh. Aside from the fact that Romney is a lying sack o' you-know-what (as anyone who's seen the video knows), he and his handlers were obviously so unready for any blowback on his own idiocies that now he's left saying he didn't say what he obviously said.
See, here's the thing. A sophisticated Presidential campaign has something called "opposition research." And of its tenets is that you not only research your rivals' weaknesses — you explore those of your own guy, and be ready to answer for them when you're attacked.
The fact that the Romney operation was clearly surprised to be outed on stuff like the 47 percent and the Bain years is astounding. They'd had six years — from the time in 2006 when Willard first decided to run, to 2012 when the GOP grudgingly gave him its nomination — to develop responses for the less-flattering parts of his biography. Or the less-than-wonderful things he was sure to say.
We cats do not understand why journalists don't hold Silly Willy's feet to the fire on this question. After all, if he couldn't run a good campaign, why he could run the country?
Unless — unless... Willard and his imperious wife didn't let their team do that research. Because, of course, he was entitled to the White House, don'tcha know. Now, there's a thought.
