Romney Lies on Leno, Commences Operation Stop Palin

December 2, 2010 By scout 5 Comments

The former MA Gov. must feel he is in a really bad position for the 2012 repub nomination if he thinks he needs to take shots himself at his Alaskan rival this early.  As part of an attempt to land a backhanded attack against Sarah … [Read more...]
