That’s OK, Mitt — Cheney Had “Better Things to Do” Than Serve His Country, Too
Bloomberg covers Wrong-Wing Romney’s scramble to take back his slap in the face to U.S. soldiers:
Mitt Romney, who won the Iowa Republican straw poll yesterday, said he “misspoke” when he suggested that his sons’ work on his presidential campaign was comparable to serving in the military in Iraq.
“I misspoke,” the former Massachusetts governor said today on “Fox News Sunday.” “It’s not service to the country, it’s service for me, and there’s just no comparison there.”
At an event in Iowa last week, Romney was asked why his adult sons hadn’t enlisted in the military and responded by saying: “One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president,” according to the Associated Press.
Romney said today that he “didn’t mean in any way to compare service in the country with my boys in any way. Service in this country is an extraordinary sacrifice being made by individuals and their families.”
