Irreconcilable Differences

As The Rominee, smiley sleazebag that he's now showing himself to be, harps on the unAmerican "otherness" (subtle, huh?*) of Barack Obama, he and his also like to fall back on the "Chicago-style politics" trope.**

So which is it, Mitt? Is our president unAmerican, or is he heir to that most American of activities, Chicago-style politics?

That's the trouble with lies: when you have a few good ones, it's hard to give one up, even when it conflicts with the others.

* You want subtle? How about this quote from The Rominee's guy, to England:

“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”.

Are you racist, conservatives? Mitt Romney thinks you are. But you don't care, do you?

** Good quote from that link:

One of the most memorable phrases from that era comes from a story often told by former White House Counsel Abner J. Mikva, who described attempting to volunteer on a local campaign in the late 1940s.

“Who sent you?” asked the cigar-chomping 8^th Ward precinct captain.

“Nobody sent me,” replied Mikva.

“We don’t want nobody nobody sent.”
