Not very subtle

Yahoo ran this picture in the marquee "news" stories for the past couple days with the headline: "How Romney would rank among presidents "

If you didn't read a word further, you would think that the object of the article was how Romney compared to old George and JFK.   There is Mr. Smiley smack dab up there with the two and actually first in line.  The story was about "who had the most money" but the picture and headline conveyed another slant. This wasn't an accident.

Now that Newt is on the radar and at times gets billing and notice far above his rank and abilities, the "establishment" who sees Newton as the lynch pin that will unloose a democratic landslide this fall, takes every opportunity to do stuff like this in a pursuit of a Romney nomination.

Idiotic grin aside, Romney would be about the richest President ever if elected - certainly in wealth if not adjusted for inflation wealth so that would be that.  Just a reminder then, before we settle into the Sunday morning talk shows, that these faux-cameo stories are everywhere and we all need to consider the source.
