On the TPM website there was this article about the Romney's campaign editing of Obama speeches for use in their own political ads.
So what if, Romney's crack campaign team fiddled with other speeches, you know, retroactively?
Let's jump into and buckle up for a ride in the Romney wayback machine (which is oddly enough in the shape of a Versace Riding Horse).
Excerpts of famous speeches in History before and after they enter into the Romney Campaign editing bay.
Lou Gehrig, "Farewell to Baseball Address"
Sure, I’m lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert – also the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow – to have spent the next nine years with that wonderful little fellow Miller Huggins – then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology – the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy!
Maybe Romney's version today
Sure, I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Dick Cheney - also the builder of the world's greatest empire, George Bush - To be able to spend the next nine years with that wonderful little fellow Karl Rove - I only wish I could spend the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology - the best U.S. Senator ever, Joe McCarthy!
Martin Luther King, Jr, 'I have A Dream"
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
Maybe Romney's version today

Richard M. Nixon, "Checkers" and "I'm not a Crook"
And third, let me point out -- and I want to make this particularly clear -- that no contributor to this fund, no contributor to any of my campaigns, has ever received any consideration that he would not have received as an ordinary constituent.
I want to say this to the television audience. I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service. I have earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice. And I think, too, that I can say that in my years of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.
Maybe Romney's version
We would not change a thing, they're perfect!
That's all I have for you people.
Cheers
