"The suggestion this week from a top Obama campaign official that Mitt Romney may have committed a felony by listing himself as CEO of Bain Capital after leaving the firm was picked apart Sunday, with Republicans decrying the remark as the worst type of divisive politics and Obama's team urging its rivals to "stop whining."

Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager, originally made the claim Thursday on a conference call."

"Picked apart" exclusively by Romney surrogates who offered no substantial rebuttal, only faux outrage. CNN is getting almost as bad as FOX. I knew they were done when they hired Glenn Beck.

Cutter, sitting next to Madden on the CBS set, said she was not calling Romney a felon, but merely stating the Bain documents, if misrepresentative of his role at the company, would amount to a felony. She refused to apologize for the remark.

"He's not going to get an apology," Cutter said. "Just a few months ago in the primary Mitt Romney said to his opponents - who were crushing him at the time – 'stop whining.' And that's a good message for the Romney campaign. Instead of whining about what the Obama campaign is saying, just put the facts out there and let people decide rather than trying to hide them."

Sounds like good advice to me.

My wife might take exception to me sitting on anybody's lap but thanks for the thought whellie. I guess great minds think alike 'cause I had no clue about Ms. Stephanie's remarks... Does this mean I got a promotion from a testy little tempest in a teapot to a lapdog? Does it come with a raise?
You really need to work on those insults,whellie. I expected better from a Detroit wheelman.

Sheesh! Its October in an election year. Its called "silly season" for a reason.

Your love affair with the tu quoque argument is boundless. Wasn't it you telling someone the other day to stay on point. This thread is about Karl Rove, but you could never be satisfied with letting it stay focused on the misdeeds of one of your idols.

<Raises hand.> That was me. Paraphrasing what Merrylander once said, a battle of wits with an unarmed man is no battle at all.

If you sit on Stephanie's lap it might.

Tu quoque arguments are especially useful when dealing with hypocrisy. For example, let's lavish attention on the misdeeds of Mr. Rove, but when someone in Obama's sphere runs an add that suggests Romney was implicit in a woman's death, let's close our eyes and ignore it. Apparently, imitation is still the sincerest form of flattery.

You mean they are useful when trying to avoid directly addressing the point - almost as useful as a false equivalency.
