Vennochi Reviseth...

Her current column extolling Former Governor Jane "Jingle Money" Swift State House Portraiture Unveiling, Joanie Vennochi indulged the following howler:
She ultimately dropped out of the governor's race in 2002. Her decision cleared the path for Mitt Romney to gain the GOP nomination and then the corner office.

Yez kin read da whole sidesplitting piece hyar.
Swift didn't "drop out" of the 2002 Governor's race, she was forced out by Christy Mihos who convinced Willard to abandon his plans to run for office in Utah on the basis of a single poll. Whereupon Mitt Romney flew back across the country like a vulture intent on carrion spouting lies and threats until Swift was shoved aside like an old sack of potatoes.
Where was all this concern, admiration and Girl Power Columnist Crap for Jingle Money back in 2002??
I heard nary a peep from Joanie, Scot and Jeff.
No no no...they were all swooning at Romney's feet desperate to line up behind behind any Republican no matter how inexperienced and duplicitous as long as said candidate protected them from the big bad state legislature.
One thing that never fails to amaze Humble Elias, is the infinite plasticity of the Pundit Memory.
Today's elegy is naught but Joanie's conscience bothering her...
She'd better make what peace she can with it, cause' 2006 is right around the corner and Joanie will have to mark out hard for some other hopelessly corrupt GOP hack if she wants to keep the State Lege at bay.
Ah well, such is the pain of a spiteful no-talent b*tch.
