The Northern Alliance’s big guns appear determined to join National Review in making themselves look irrelevant by defending the GOP’s Walter Mitty, especially in light of Romney’s own lame attempt to defend himself. It’s especially telling that none of his defenders dare to quote that defense due to how incredibly lame his foolish attempt to justify his previous statement is:
Mitt Romney has been drawing criticism for saying that he “saw” his father march with Martin Luther King, even though he did not witness the event. This strikes me as a non-story. It seems probable to me that Romney did not mean to say that he literally saw George Romney and Dr. King marching together. In that event, Romney likely would have said that he was with his father when he marched with King, or that he himself marched with King.
Here’s Romney’s actual words:
“If you look at the literature, if you look at the dictionary, the term “saw” includes “being aware of” in the sense I described. It’s a figure of speech, and very familiar, and very common, and I saw my Dad marching with Martin Luther King. I did not see it with my own eyes, but I saw him in the sense of being aware of his participation in that great effort.”
You see that Mitt Romney is full of shit. In every sense of the words “see”, “is”, and “shit”.
