GOP Presidential hopeful and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney made sure the American people knew something important about the color of his house.

On today's Meet the Press, host Tim Russert read an excerpt from a Boston Globe article that calls out Romney, an outspoken critic of illegal immigration, for using illegal immigrants to work on his yard:

As Governor Mitt Romney explores a presidential bid, he has grown outspoken in his criticism of illegal immigration. But, for a decade, the governor has used a landscaping company that relies heavily on workers like these, illegal Guatemalan immigrants, to maintain the grounds surrounding his pink Colonial house.

"I have to clear up the most egregious error in that article," responds Romney. "It said my house was pink."

"I would not have a pink house, I assure you."

The visibility of pink houses was raised in a song by the same name released by John Cougar Mellencamp on his 1983 album "Uh, Huh."

PageOneQ has been unable to ascertain if Romney's comment has offended residents of Mellencamp's native Jackson County, Indiana, or Mellencamp himself. Jackson County is home of many famed houses of a pink color, and the inspiration for the hit song.
