Team Romney betting on vetting

Atrios joked the other night that it appeared the Romney campaign hired the Zombie Breitbart brain trust to run his operation. Today he looks clairvoyant. A panicked Team Romney, still desperately trying to derail the Bain narrative, announced they're not going to play nice anymore. Calling POTUS a liar while they lie their faces off about his record was just kid stuff. They're now going to hike up their big boy pants and do the vetting McCain refused to do.

“I mean, this is a guy who admitted to cocaine use, had a sweetheart deal with his house in Chicago, and was associated and worked with Rod Blagojevich to get Valerie Jarrett appointed to the Senate,” the adviser said. “The bottom line is there’ll be counterattacks.”

And if rehashing those stale memes doesn't work, they'll deploy Joe the Plumber. Okay I made that one up.

Imagine the trembling in the White House can be measured on the Richter scale and not because they're quaking with fear. Just hope the roaring laughter doesn't literally bring the roof down. [Image via skippy]
