One has to wonder if Haley Barbour, the big poobah of the Republican Party, is dusting off his Rolodex looking up the private phone numbers of Rick Santorum or Mitch Daniels.

Former Governor Mitt Romney suddenly made himself available for interviews on five TV news programs on Friday, apparently hoping to puncture the ballooning stories about his own taxes and finances before the weekend.

Although he accomplished next-to-nothing -- except demonstrating that he knows where the news studios he has studiously avoided are located -- the interviewers were all focused on the question of when, exactly, Romney left Bain Capital as that speaks to his association, or not, with certain corporate actions that enriched Romney and his partners while causing employees to lose their jobs, and make taxpayers responsible for their pensions.

Important, to be sure, but Romney's "explanation" need only confuse people to be successful, as he tried hard to do five times on Friday.
