Mitt Romney joins the 21st century

Posted by Moonage on 31 Jul 2006 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day

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.
