"...they're sayin' the same thing in private, as publicly..." THIS is the important part

of the "all mic'ed up" moment between Rand & the turtle.

Republicans NEVER say the same things in public, as they do to their secretive inner circles or when they think only their base is listening..(Macaca....47% ...etc)

The fact that dems say the same things to friend or foe, because it's the verifiable truth is the important nugget in that "oopsie" moment... and during that moment Rand is bragging about how he's putting one over on CNN and how they are having a Charlie Sheen success by repeating ridiculous talking points.

In ALL the "reporting" of this episode, I have not heard even ONE prompter-reader focus on the fact that there is no duplicity on our side.
