From politics (moderates who lean to the right) to Pogo (drools during poker stare) to rants (Whatcha expect from savvy, sassy sexagenarians?) to raves (Have you had your kudo today?) -- we never take ourselves too seriously.
We do, however, reserve the right to slaughter an occasional sacred cow. And in case we fail to mention it -- we will never forget....
It's unfair when a hidden agenda (especially when carried out after telling the interviewee that comments were "off the record") is perpetrated. It's even better when the interviewee exceeds expectations and shreds the interviewer and his agenda.
This is Mitt Romney unplugged.
Follow along as Mitt responds to an authoritative interviewer who interrupts him repeatedly, rather than allowing Mitt to complete answers .... Until -- that is -- Mitt effectively stops this arrogant idiot's ploy and turns an "off the record" discussion into a testament for why America needs Mitt Romney.
This "cut," which was posted on the radio station web site without Mitt's knowledge, may have been intended to embarrass him.
If that was the purpose, it backfired. And his shirt-sleeves weren't even rolled up.
Any question about why Mitt Romney is the most qualified and competent candidate for President of the United States?

tplant August 5, 2007 01:13 AM PDT I agree, I was very impressed with Romney's reaction under fire. The deceptive radio host was schooled by Romney.
It's interesting how Romney handled it, not in the McCain fashion by swearing and pounding on the table.
Romney holds his character even under fire, he didn't weaken or change his position on his religion or his role as president.
Mitt has my vote!

Sandy August 5, 2007 08:27 AM PDT I don't expect this bloviating host who has read a book (?) to be invited to attend any Mormon retreats OR political strategy sessions.
What was his question, anyway? Did he ever ask one complete question? Did he ever allow Gov. Romney to complete one sentence?
The guy needs to be on medication to slow the flow of off the wall jibberish.
Romney. I absolutely love the guy. Yes, Jennifer, he's hot. And he's impressively unimpressed with both jibberish and arrogant interjectionists. (is that a word?)
Ted August 5, 2007 08:33 AM PDT I was holding my breath waiting for this idiot to ask the Gov about his underwear.
Thumbs up to the Gov for standing his ground about his faith and refusing to buy into the ramble this confused host was spewing.
I don't think any other candidate would have responded as firmly without launching into a tirade or giving credence to this guy's ignorance of both law and church doctrine.
We need Mitt Romney. Outstanding job, Governor.
Rev August 5, 2007 02:15 PM PDT No question for me, Gull.
I'm going to post this video on my site as well!
Fitz August 5, 2007 03:07 PM PDT "How an arrogant know-nothing is taken to the cleaners by Mr. Clean" should have been the caption on this one, Gull.
