Mitt today: “No way” will McCain bring change; Mitt 2002: “He has always stood for reform and change”

I believe this is what’s known colloquially as pwnage. Actually, all it really amounts to is further proof that pols all the same meaningless crap when they’re out stumping for one another — which is what it sounds like McCain was doing for Mitt when that particular line was uttered. Expect to see Team Romney recirculating this old clip, perhaps in ad form, before the weekend is out:
If you’re looking for something to do this evening, how about building your very own Romney robo-call? It’s even personalized with most first names. I made up one earlier for Mary Katharine warning her of the perils of “radical jihad,” and, man, did it give me chills. I didn’t send it out yet but I’m expecting her to donate when I do. As a Townhall employee, she’s pretty much obliged, right?
Speaking of which, here’s Hugh’s latest. Follow the comments for a little week-ending comedy gold. The point made by “Joe” at 3:18 is especially sharp.

Awesomely awesome. I sent one to my Dad (who is a Canadian citizen living in Canada; I just told them he’s in WA).

That’s like reminding a divorced guy that he used to love his ex.

*McCain Campaign “Flipper” Spin*
“Well, you know, no one you see is smarter than he…….”

Boy, in friendlier days there. I think now McCain has genuine animosity toward Mitt and I’d guess at least some of it is rooted in his ‘sons service’ answer.
Anyway you can hook us up with that message you made Allah? The perils of radical jihad (as opposed to run-of-the-mill) can’t be overstated!

True, true.

That wasn’t “flipping”, it was “bringing change”.

Any word from Hugh Hewitt yet, since last night?
Entelechy on January 4, 2008 at 6:17 PM
Yeah, check the Townhall blog and he’s still pimping Romney. I’m surprised he’s not on suicide watch after he didn’t win in IA.

Looking for the humping robo calls.
It is true, Mitt is a man who stands for change…he changes his mind every few months.
bada bing…

My first name wasn’t recorded. Guess that means Mitt doesn’t want my vote :(
lorien1973 on January 4, 2008 at 7:14 PM
Okay…I thought Mitt was creepy enough on his own…but that robo-caller? *shudder*
tickleddragon on January 4, 2008 at 7:38 PM
I will only use his robo caller if it says at the end “Have a nice day”…the only true way to end a sincere phone call.
right2bright on January 4, 2008 at 7:41 PM
That’s hilarious, AP. I hope she posts about her reaction to that phone call.
At least Mitt is aiming at our real enemy; I’d hate for us to offend practitioners of moderate jihad.

Proof positive that Mitt can reform and change his opinion!

Bwahahahaha, Kudlow and company dissing anyone about bubbles is classic.

After reading a bit on Romney’s site, I kinda like the guy. Anything I missed?
