Wow, Mitt Takes the Gloves Off
The whole shock-jock gotcha journalism meme lost it’s lustre for me years ago. Which is why, it’s so refreshing to see a politician forcefully and forthrightly repsond to it’s implementation. The DJ, Jan Mickelson, is a jerk throughout. This video was recorded without Romney’s knowledge and includes some heated discussion off-air wherein Romney gently but forcefully corrects Mickelson’s obvious ignorance regarding Mormon theology. On that point, let me officially register how tired I am of journalists going after candidates’ theological views. They’ve used this tactic against Evangelicals for years, and I’m tired of it. It was slimy then, and it’s slimy now.
Perhaps I’ll have to rethink my initial enthusiasm for Fred!.
