| Mitt Romney Gets Specific Paul Waldman May 24, 2012 Sort of. But not really. I have been on a long crusade, which began before this campaign and will probably continue after it, to get everyone to think more clearly about what it means when a politician says "I’m not a politician, I’m a businessman." (( ... )) Halperin keeps trying to get something specific out of Romney, and Romney keeps evading. At one point he protests that he can’t give Halperin a specific innovative idea to create jobs, because "It is a whole passel of elements that come together to create a strong economy, and for someone who spent thei life in the economy, they understand how that works." So, to sum up: Mitt Romney understands how the economy works. And what ideas does that understanding produce? He understands how the economy works. What’s he going to actually do once in office? He understands how the economy works. |
Everybody this side of darkest W*lth*m should read the whole piece, which may border on cruelty to mental kiddies, but still . . . .
Happy days.
P. S.: Paddy McTammany recommended the Deval Patrick Show this morning. If you listened in, I trust you will agree that the successor to
(( M. Coriolanus Pompo, Demander of Apologies ))
has a remarkable flair for not actually answering the questions he is asked without setting off all the alarms the way poor Pompo does.
