Some men see things as they aren't and ask 'Why not?'

Dear Mitt: For the good of all concerned, don't say another word.
"If you look at the literature, if you look at the dictionary, the term 'saw' includes being aware of in the sense I've described," Romney told reporters in Iowa. "It's a figure of speech and very familiar, and it's very common. And I saw my dad march with Martin Luther King. I did not see it with my own eyes, but I saw him in the sense of being aware of his participation in that great effort."
No, really, Mitt, just get some SuperGlue now and apply it to your lips, because you didn't see the Patriots win the World Series, either, literally or figuratively (or maybe it was that game in 2004 where you and John Kerry watched Manny Ortez score a walkoff touchdown).
Earlier:
Figuratively vs. literally.

Finally, maybe, the smugness is starting to backfire and unravel. I am so sick of that "I'm better than you" smirk he seems to always have on his face. How anyone can trust or believe one word this man says is completely beyond me.

You know Mitt's in trouble when WT-KKK blabbermouth and Herald scribbler Michael Graham actually defended the statement!

Let's not forget that Mitt is a true
Red Sox fan. By his own admission, he
waited a year more than the rest of
us for that 2004 World Series win. I only
waited 86.
Was that the year that Manny

Was that the year that Manny Ortez hit so well?

Mitt, look, we've tried being nice, but: Just. Shut. Up. Already
