Mitt Takes a Swipe at an Old Man ...
... and no, I don't mean John McCain. But the former Massachusetts governor has dissed Bob Dole for the crime of ... defending McCain. Having tried, unsuccessfully, to get Dole's support for himself, Romney had a sour-grapes moment this morning, in which he said the former Kansas senator was “probably the last person I would have wanted to have write a letter for me.”
Um, sure, Mitt. Is that why you once called Dole "an American hero"?
Add another flip-flop to Romney's list: He was for Bob Dole before he was against him.
The best part, though, was McCain's response: "This is no way to end up this campaign, by attacking a genuine American war hero."
Catch that? End this campaign? Mac not only manages to whack Mitt for fat-mouthing an old man, but then also sneaks in the suggestion that Mitt's candidate days are coming to an end.
And on that score, Mac seems to be right ...
