Mittmentum Inversion

Mitt descends to the 8th level of self-parody …

“Senator McCain has proven that he will say anything to win this election,” Romney told reporters. “He has taken on a very aggressive, bold strategy of misrepresentation, and it works in politics to a degree.” Romney then listed several issues on which, he says, McCain has flip-flopped, including the Bush tax cuts: McCain once opposed them but has more recently voiced his support for the policy. It was a departure for Romney, who just a couple of days ago would have likely declined to be drawn into a tit-for-tat about an opponent’s strategy.

McCain’s fibbing and flipping on the Bush tax cuts is pretty hilarious. But I guess Mitt ain’t the guy to make the case.
