Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —

Mitt Romney posted at 5:45 pm on August 27, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Um, what’s Huck doing on Rush’s show ? Isn’t their relationship rather highly nuanced? His logic here isn’t indefensible, but since he now bizarrely appears to occupy number two on the list of politicians most loathed by Hot Air readers (behind only the Messiah himself) I expect nothing less than a full-blown meltdown in the comments.“During the primary, Romney attacked McCain. He attacked me,” the one-time presidential hopeful said today on Rush ...
