The Rest of the Story

That leaked video from earlier this year didn't just show that Mitt Rmoney bad-mouthed “47%” of the American population he says are lazy, welfare-grubbing, Obama supporting, leaches on the people of value in this country, but he also uttered this gem (not meant to become publicized, of course):

In the latest episode of the Secret Romney Tapes™, our hero decides to tackle the Middle East. Basically, he trashes a two-state solution because he thinks the Palestinians have "no interest whatsoever in establishing peace."

[...]

"So what you do is, you say, you move things along the best way you can. You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem....and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it."

  Mother Jones


Brilliant. Actually, his whole campaign seems to be predicated on the hope that " ultimately, somehow, something will happen" and he'll get elected. Or not. I don't think he really cares.

And since he has apparently been using Jimmy Carter as a punching bag on the campaign trail, it's especially satisfying to note that the man who stumbled onto that video is none other than Jimmy's grandson.
