I love NRO, check in on their site every day. But Mitt has been an early contributor to their foundation or whatever and has given them plenty of his time. Hate to say it, but it seems that between the Mitt-love and their local Rudy-love—not too many McCain supporters!—they have come off as pettily biased against the Fredster.
Critics may like to target him for supposed laziness and a less-than-bill-crazy senate record, but those are two of the best things they could be picking on: the guys who take too much to the senatorial collegiality or spend a great amount of time focused on details are not chief executive material. And Fred has accomplished too much in his life for such complaints to ring truer than you’d want. Going after the younger wife is another sign that they actually haven’t got anything too potent against him.
Poor Fred! The MSM hates 'em. Hugh Hewitt can't stand him. The National Review don't like him much. Everybody is out to get Fred. Fred is probably singing:
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, Guess I'll go eat worms, Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones, Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one, down goes the second one, Oh how they wiggle and squirm. Up comes the first one, up comes the second one, Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
