Romney wasn't inarticulate at all. He said exactly what he meant. Have to listen again but he only fumbled the numbers a bit.

We know that. The point is that Ryan is out trying to do damage control, meaning they're experiencing significant backlash.

And the train wreck continues: Romney is standing by his point, and Ryan is rewriting it. In fact, he's disagreeing with the point Romney made.

Inelegant? Like not ready for the prom? How about full of sh**. Crass. Classless. I'm getting used to the other C word ... Craven.

I don't think it means what you think it means.

Oh, that's gonna leave a mark!

And yet, Team Romney seems tireless in this particular regard.

As usual, your framing is flawless.

They say, never hit a person when they're down. In this case, given the decades long unsportsmanlike conduct by the opposition, I would say it is obligatory.

This is a blessed gift that the Republic Party has bequeathed us. To not take advantage would be a mortal sin.

These weekly, and even daily, Republic meltdowns are increasingly leaking into the M$M news cycle. They smell blood on the water, but they still haven't crossed the Rubicon (or river Styx) to enable to pose the question, How big will the Democrats win?

That will happen. In the meantime, let's not squander the opportunity. I will be phone banking in the coming weeks. I do not intend to stop until election day. I will not give up until we have the White House with a clear mandate, and clear majorities in both houses of Congress.

That's the opportunity we have this year.

Everytime Mitt has screwed up, the pundits found a way to lessen the impact with their "it's not that bad," "Dems do it too" or "give Mitt a break" BS spin.

This isn't a screw up about foreign policy (Romneyshambles or the Libya response, though that took hold because Americans were attacked). This time Mitt is attacking half the American people. This time his coldhearted and despicable dismissal is personal.

Of course, in Lyin' Ryan's lexicon, "inarticulate" is synonymous with "insufficiently mendacious."

Fire! Aim! Ready!

I know The Romney Circus is a particularly difficult one to choreograph, but is anyone in charge over there?

As with Bush, I think this shows that a) Romney was saying something he's comfortable saying on the video and b) that republicans like to say that facts are the opposite of what they really are.
