This should put Obama’s petty slander to rest (one would hope.)[/quote]
At the same time (or at least the same day) that Kathleen Parker published that opinion piece, the very same fact checker she cited as exonerating Romney, had this to say:
So we are at an impasse. Because of the ambiguity, there is considerable room for interpretation of known facts. Going forward, unless new evidence emerges, on a case-by-case basis we may withhold the awarding of Pinocchios when the claim rests mostly on the question of when Romney stopped managing Bain Capital.
SK: Thanks for the cite and I did not see that one (only the other Parker article.)
This is clearly campaign fodder and grist for the 24hr news cycle mill. It does not rise to the level of felonious conduct, and, Brian’s assertions notwithstanding, it isn’t a “kiss-ass” piece, in that Annenberg PPC also took issue with the (mis)characterization taking place regarding Romney’s tenure at Bain.
