Upchuck Tawdry Compares Legitimate Questions About Romney's Business Practices to "Swiftboating"

Not that the distinction between telling truths and spreading lies would matter as much as the infinitely more vital distinction between who is "up" and who is "down" from moment to moment for whatever reason to the self-appointed Masters of the Universe to a glorified gossip columnist like Chuck Todd.

Romney has made his business success the centerpiece of his campaign and questioning that career and what counts as its "success" is obviously legitimate given the attention Romney himself is calling to it. And such questioning is especially inevitable given the ongoing financial distress to which many think firms like Romney's indispensably contributed. The Romney campaign should have been prepared for such attacks (inasmuch as they have dogged every single one of his campaigns, including the primary campaign only recently concluded), and should be eager to respond and make their own case given their eagerness to shine their own light on it.

Like Luke Russert, another smug dull-eyed schmoo, Chuck Todd lacks the talent, intelligence, or stage presence to deserve his spotlight. Kick him to the curb for Fox or some flyover news desk to lick up.
