"One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."
-- Mitt Romney, explaining today why it's okay that none of his five sons enlisted in the military.
America thanks you, sons of Romney, for your brave and noble sacrifice on behalf of this great nation.
"PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." --Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, on why he strapped his dog to the roof his car.
"Liquefied coal, gosh. Hitler during the Second World War — I guess because he was concerned about losing his oil — liquefied coal. That technology is still there."

Anne Romney's $150 donation to Planned Parenthood over a decade ago is, in itself, not that surprising or scandalous. After all, the Governor was pro-choice in 1994 — he's gone out of his way to say he isn't any more, but hasn't ever tried to say he never was. What is surprising is that the man who's tried to superglue himself to "family values" would throw his wife under the bus to reporters with nary a second thought.
