When Facts Matter

Mitt Romney and his running mate are famous for their allergies to facts and specifics. Between the two of them they have perfected the art of lying and using vagaries instead of policies in the hopes of getting elected in the recent New Yorker profile (sub req) of Romney he is quoted as insisting that in the private sector fluff is denigrated while substance is the drug of choice. He also insists, all facts to the contrary, in the private sector when you screw up you get fired.

He is so marvelously unself-aware that he doesn't realize that he is the person he has warned us about: an empty suit spewing lies and fluff who cares not at all about our collective future.
