Mittster, pwn3d, blows an O-ring

Immaculately-gelled mannequin in heated tiff with reporter who called him on his bullshit.

Speaking at a business supply store in S.C., sanctimonious liar Mitt Romney was tearfully telling reporters that he could govern in the country's best interest because, "I don't have lobbyists running my campaign. I don't have lobbyists that are tied to my -- " when AP writer Glen Johnson interrupted.

"Dude. That's not true," Johnson said. "Ron Kaufman's a lobbyist."

"Did you hear what I said? Did you hear what I said, Glen?" Romney asked. "I said I don't have lobbyists running my campaign, and he's not running my campaign."

"He's one of your senior advisers," Johnson said.
"He's an adviser," Romney parsed pathetically, "and the person who runs my campaign is Beth Myers, and I have a whole staff of deputy campaign managers, and --"

Johnson interrupted again. "Ron Kaufman is just there as window dressing? He's a potted plant on your plane?"
Romney called Kaufman a friend and unpaid adviser* and repeated, "I do not have lobbyists running my campaign" before lapsing into sobs and calling Johnson a poopyhead.

Hey, if he cn't stand up to the truth/a reporter, how will he be able to stand up to al Qaeda? Unless.... he was just speaking figuratively again?
