Bye Bye, Mitt.
I’m not going to bother defending Mitt from irrelevant smears against his long-dead ancestors. I’m just going to make the observation that since the mainstream media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Republican establishment, it’s a pretty safe bet that the Republican establishment does not want Mitt as the Rominee.
Just to make this clear: The reason I say this is not because it is simply an anti-Mitt story, but because it is a completely frivolous, bullshit anti-Mitt story, of exactly the same mean-spirited and content-free nature as the ones used to smear Democratic candidates (contrast this with a complete absence of snarky stories about Rudy or McCain’s marital histories). Mitt’s out; he just doesn’t know it yet.
