The Mitt Romney campaign is totally serious you guys about this Washington Post story that details just how much the Mittster looooooved outsourcing jobs while he was running Bain Capital.
Mitt Romney campaign representatives will meet with The Washington Post today to seek a formal retraction of its June 21 report that Bain Capital invested in firms that specialized in outsourcing American jobs, POLITICO has learned.
So how did the meeting go? Splendidly. For those of us who like to see the Romney campaign hilariously fail, I mean.
The Washington Post will not retract their June 21 report about Bain Capital‘s investments in firms that specialized in outsourcing American jobs, POLITICO has learned.
“We are very confident in our reporting,” Washington Post spokesperson Kris Coratti told POLITICO following a meeting between the Post’s executive editor Marcus Brauchli and Mitt Romney campaign representatives, who had sought a retraction from the paper.
You hear that? The Romney campaign gave the Post an opportunity to really double check on the accuracy of their reporting and it turns out… they are very confident! Good job Romney campaign!
It reminds me of this (skip to 4:55):
As Kevin Pollack explains to Demi Moore, “Yeah you also got the court members thinking we’re afraid of the doctor. You object once so they can hear us say he’s not a criminologist, you keep after it the way you did and suddenly our great cross looks like a bunch of fancy lawyer tricks.”
This was a massive (and entertaining) fail by the Romney campaign and also provided me with an excuse to post an Aaron Sorkin clip.
