I just about flipped my lid the other day when I heard Orrin Hatch describe Mitt Romney as a “financial genius”.
You’ve got to be kidding.
Capping his performance as an absentee governor, Mitt left the state with a billion dollar deficit, and his much-touted Commonwealth Care plan is running deeply in the red.
Further, Mitt made his business reputation as the founder of Bain Capital, a venture company that built up its treasury through the enthusiastic exercise of blunt instruments like lay-offs and offshore tax havens.
Meanwhile, Mitt gets away with making campaign speeches about protecting middle-class and blue collar jobs without getting struck by lightning.
A testament to the power of a really good haircut.
