"Rush Limbaugh took to the mic to defend Palin against slights, claiming Bush and Romney and others "hate" and "despise" Palin."

I think thats a load of bull. If Romney was taking shots at "beautiful people", he was probably talking about McCain's idiot daughter with her Paris Hilton like suggestions for the GOP.

I really like Romney, but he was referring to Rush and Sarah in that sentence. It really turned me off....for the first time. I thought it was so beneath him to do that. I'm sure he wishes he could take that sentence back.

My other thought was, ONE of the reasons I like him so much is that he can speak so well. Nothing shakes him. He gives well thought out, concise answers and he would be fantastic in a debate -- I'll never have to bite my nails watching a debate again. So, when he said this, I thought ...this guy doesn't say anything without thinking, perhaps this is how he REALLY feels. He of all people should know better than to goof on someone for their beauty. I'm sure he doesn't like it when people comment on HIS looks, rather than his achievements.

It saddened me to hear him say what he did. This will hurt him.
