I have been quiet because too discouraged and drained by the Republican runoff to summon up the necessary energy it takes to actually post. I've watched as Gingrich slides further and further away, his big head disappearing minute-by-minute into the muck despite (what turned out to be) momentary ascendency. I've marveled as Paul continues to brag about his run, even though he's never actually won anything. And I've been delighted as Santorum's social and political values fail to connect, except with a small and shrinking base. So it is rally about Mitt, you'd think. Today, even Jeb Bush, joined the dance. Coast into the nomination now.
But dumb is dumb. And this one takes all. Faced with victory, Romney's senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom got the willies, and bolted. Lest this get too easy, he told us on CNN: “ I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.”
In other words, say anything so long as it gets you a win. Nothing matters. Lie and distort at will. No one remembers anything, anyway. Just reform yourself come the fall; rejigger, reemerge, reconfigure like crazy. While we regurgitate.
Strap your senior adviser to the roof, Mitt. And while he's there, maybe you should just join him. Bring along your Etch A Sketch, and shake, shake, shake ....
