"Donehue could not be reached for comment".

[Clara Lou]

Caught red-handed, Romney Blames Consultants For Thompson Parody Site.

[lesser_satan]

Ping!

[ejonesie22]

Allow me, I’d be happy to help him...

He would have said:

“Oh sh*t”...

[iowamark]

The firm Tompkins, Thompson, Sullivan has received $37,596 from Romney's campaign... Donehue is also listed as an "Associate" in a direct mail firm called On the Mark Direct, which has been paid $146,018 by Romney's campaign

Nice work if you can get it!

[Atlas Sneezed]

Madden insisted Donehue is “not an employee of the Romney campaign,”

---

I guess we need to start parsing “Slick Mitty.”

The guy was a key employee of a key subcontractor hired by the campaign.

Close enough.

Time to apologize.

[papasmurf]

That’s his M.O. Lie and deny at every opportunity.

I wonder who he blames for having the worst economic record of any State except La., during his Governing years?

[Spiff]

So, if the Romney campaign had paid Kinkos “thousands of dollars” for reproducting documents and such, then if any employees of Kinkos made a website negative of another candidate, then Romney would somehow be to blame?!

Romney, and the other dont-have-a-chancers,
need to get off the stage

[xcamel]

Any bets Clinton, Inc. is also a client?

[DBrow]

This makes a great deal of sense. Barbra Streisand blamed “a staffer” when it was pointed out that her website had more spelling erors than a third grader’s essay. It works.

Another reason to vote for Fred Thompson in the primary

[kbennkc]

This is upsetting .When I sent money to Mitt I expected dirty tricks but I wanted stonewalling
from the campaign and operatives who keep their mouths shut like the G-man . You do not have to throw them under the bus , after all they are not Senator Broke Back Bathroom .

[counterpunch]

So it’s a “parody site” now?

This is all emblematic of Romney’s campaign style.
It is Romney’s campaign that has been behind all of the opposition research about the other candidates leaked to the media.
Romney has waged a nasty, unbecoming campaign, and the Democrats will thank him in the general election for doing all their dirty work for them.
This is reason alone why he doesn’t deserve our support.

[Brilliant]

Why is it that Romney is always the guy who has to apologize for this kinda crap?

[Beagle8U]

“But Donehue is clearly an employee of several firms which have been paid tens of thousands of dollars by Romney.

The firm Tompkins, Thompson, Sullivan has received $37,596 from Romney’s campaign, most of it for “Political strategy consulting.” The web site for that firm has been taken down, but a recent page cached by Google lists him as an “associate consultant and vice president” of the firm.

“As the first associate consultant and vice president of TTS, Wesley Donehue runs the daily operations of the firm. Despite being only 27 years old, he is one of the most experienced operatives in the state,””

Ok folks, the guy who set up the smear website is the Vise President of the company Romney hired and he runs the day to day operations of the company.

Now Romney expects people to believe that neither he nor the company he hired knows anything about it?

The guy runs the operations of the company and used the company servers to host the site but neither the company or Romney share any blame?

[nowandlater]

Rudy hires this company too. Why no criticism of Rudy? You guys are so transparent.

[redgirlinabluestate]

If an anti-Fred parody site is too much to take, then they are not ready for the Clinton machine. They sound a little too thin-skinned and shrill for what's ahead.

Wonder why nobody said a peep about the Brownback anti-Fred website which is still out there? Why this selective outrage? Must be the fear of Mitt.

[edsheppa]

The buck stops there.

[DesScorp]

But of course Mitt knew nothing about the ads. He's shocked, just shocked, I tell you.
