"I am not familiar, precisely, with exactly what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was." — Mitt Romney, May 2012.
In just a few words, Romney told us a truth about himself. He really doesn’t believe a lot of the things he says. He sees them as simple expediencies to get elected. His record as an ideological contortionist is well known: abortion, health care, global warming and, in this case, some right-wing palliative about Jeremiah Wright.

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, ‘This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.’ The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, ‘Which do you want, son?’
The boy takes the quarters and leaves the dollar. ‘What did I tell you?’ said the barber. ‘That kid never learns!’
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store and says, ‘Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?’
The boy licked his cone and replied, ‘Because the day I take the dollar, the game’s over!’
