It's all very nice that the moribund Bain Capital attacks of Gingrich etc have essentially, at least among republicans, redounded to Romney's benefit [although I have yet to hear him make the spirited defence of capitalism that is needed - could be he's just pacing himself, keeping powder dry since Bain will play a key role in Obama's re-election plans] - and it's a pleasing comeuppance to watch erstwhile uber right Gingrich etc supporters and thus Romney haters forced into defending Romney and chastising Newt etc etc because of the utter reprehensibility of the Bain attacks - all very well and good - still, even though they're now running [well, walking quickly] to Romney's defence here the fact remains these ideological blowhards bear much of the responsibility of enabling the rise of such obviously flawed candidates - so sure, they can now defend Romney because the toxic spill that was Cain but is now Gingrich et al is flooding back on them and forcing the miscreants to higher ground - but what I'd really like to see is Limbaugh pressing his insufferable snout to microphone and admitting what a complete fucking moron he is and has been... "Friends, I'm an idiot, an ass, a charlatan... and although I appreciate that y'all have seen fit to make me quite rich despite these little shortcomings, certain events have transpired to make me wonder how dumb is too dumb even for you..."
