I expect the MSM will smear the blame on Mitt. He has in effect, placed the dog on top of "his" car, again.
Anything positive he does will be spun thus by the media. He needs to revel in their disapproval, not be intimidated by it. He needs to become famous for being reviled by the media! And the media need to go under, big and little people included! Then, when he wins, it will be the public sector's turn to be downsized!
Besides, I've heard Seamus liked riding on top, and the gross hose-down incident was indigestion, not fear.
