Mitt the Drowning Man
A very good article from Jeffrey Feldman at The Frameshop

Excerpt:
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a man drowning: arms flailing wildly, desperate gasps for breath, the struggle to climb out of the water as if it were a pile of blankets, the cold indifference of the water as it reaches up to pull the head down again and again. OK–keep that image in your head as you open your eyes and read this article about Mitt Romney trying yet again to claim that his position on the auto industry bailout was that government should offer help:
...
What Romney is trying to do on the auto bailout issue is what he has tried to do during the entire campaign. In fact, he has been doing it his entire political life.
Fast forward to the final stretch in this election and the Romney campaign trying to claim that it’s position on Detroit was that government should offer help–and that it was the Obama administration all along that wanted to “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.”
To believe this massive lie from the Romney campaign, we would have to change reality on three fundamental levels: economic policy, election politics, and print media editorship.
I say this because Mitt Romney’s original position, as I’ve already specified, was simultaneously an act of policy, politics, and media–all three converging in this one Op-Ed.
