If it weren’t so funny it’d be painful to watch Mitt Romney try to recast himself as a tea partier before tea partying was cool. Mitt’s got a new paperback edition of his book — No Apology — coming out in which he tries to distance RomneyCare from ObamaCare. He also throws in lines that Sarah Palin might have written, claiming that Obama exploited the financial crisis “to promote his extreme liberal agenda” and that Democrats “simply do not believe in America as it was shaped by the Founders.”
