“....most people have done stupid things...”
In all reality, if this is the bar, if this story about Mitt Romney is the line in the sand, for a person to be disqualified to be president, well let’s face it, there’s NOBODY qualified to be president in this country. Sarah Palin and Ron Paul and WHOEVER from the Left included.
At least nobody we’d WANT to be president.
Even the Washington Post’s own lefty blogger, Greg Sargeant said (paraphrasing a quote I read elsewhere today): I just can’t get past the fact that I don’t want to be judged on what I did in High School.
This isn’t even a pro/anti Romney thing, this is a “You have got to be kidding me thing”.
But then again, this is the Washington Post, the paper that destroyed George Allen’s last senate run with one word, repeated endlessly, like a mantra: Maccaca!
So, I guess they figured it was worth a shot.
I think the timing is to distract from Obama trying to play both sides on gay marriage. They were sitting on this “story”, and it’s a minor story. Who knows what they are saving.
