DU's R-Money hits 'The Hill', fools Erick Erickson of Red State.
R-Money as pictured on The Hill
Fake Romney picture circulates on Twitter
A potentially embarrassing but fake picture of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney hit the Web on Monday, lighting up Twitter with comments and retractions.
In the picture, Romney is arranging a group of children, each wearing a T-shirt with one letter of his last name.
In the real picture the children are lined up to properly spell his name, but in the fake version they’re aligned to spell “R-money,” a dig at Romney’s considerable wealth and his time as an executive at Bain Capital, for which his critics have accused him of engaging in “vulture capitalism.”
Influential conservative blogger Erick Erickson of Red State retweeted a link of the picture that said, “why oh why did Mitt Romney pose for this picture.”

Erickson was 'reinformated' and said it speaks volumes that so many on the right weren’t surprised ...

Viral isn't even good enough for this gem.
But President Obama will be looking at this
in his rear view mirror come November.
Aren't they HIS children, and HIS wife?

For the point and rebound point for DU!!!!
Erickson is so accustomed to setting up strawman arguments, he probably STILL thinks it's a real photo.
