Mitt Romney joins the 21st century

Gov. Mitt Romney has apologized for referring to the troubled Big Dig construction project as a "tar baby" during a fundraiser with Iowa Republicans, saying he didn’t know anyone would be offended by the term some consider a racial epithet.
Exactly what did Romney think "tar baby" meant?
Stupid, Mitt. Very, very stupid.
Some people feel that a politician apologizing for such a transgression merit the entire incident being forgotten ( see "it’s all about sex" ). I don’t go that route. Romney’s already in deep doo-doo politically, this needs to nail it. I absolutely do not for one second believe Mitt Romney had no idea what a "tar baby" was.
