Is being a Russian spy in college a felony?

How about faking injuries to receive a Purple Heart? Is that a felony?

And Whitewater... I don't think the meat of the allegation was that Hillary was a bad investor.

Shooting Vince Foster? Probably a felony... though perhaps it was some Stand-Your-Ground deal.

How about cashing your paychecks as president despite not being a US citizen? Is that a felony?

All Democratic candidates for everything are routinely accused of the most lurid and despicable crimes with no basis whatsoever. But Mitt is getting the vapors because the Obama campaign made the unexceptional observation that intentional misrepresentation of material information in SEC filings would be a crime.

The thing is, Mitt. The Obama campaign doesn't have a cable news network or a dominant radio network or a daily paper in Washington DC or a go-to list of billionaires willing to launder campaign allegations as national infomercials, so sometimes the campaign itself has to say what's on its mind.

Sorry that offends you.
