Olbermann is a twit, which is why no one ever sees his stuff except on sites like this.
In fact, just before the AP guy interjects, Romney is midphrase saying "I don't have lobbyists tied to my-". Just what was he going to say? If an "advisor" is not "tied to" your campaign then who the hell is?
Bullshit indeed.
Now they just need to jump Hillary for it as well to be fair about it, she's got more endorsements and money from them than any other candidate, dem or repub, if one of them is in the news for it then both should be.
From the reporter in question.

And the following links to both Roll Call and Open Secrets for sourcing on the donations/endorsements. Clinton seems to draw the most support from the lobbies for the dems, him for the repubs, good part of why I'm not fond of either. I'm not convinced they'll work for us.

But I digress! The subject of the post is misleading language used repeatedly by a candidate; *lies
Yes, lady, I'm sure he went home and cried.
Why would you want to call "lies" when nobody here knows if it really is a lie or not.
If you want to play that angle, I can still say it's safe to assume one of them is lying; either Romney or the reporter.

...or going to humorous lengths, to not have to tell, what would technically be a lie, while still maintaining that last shred of (nearly-)plausible deniability.
AP reporters should stay on the floor, where they belong...

I think this has set a record for most received downvotes ever. Is there an award for that?
I would upvote if it wasn't on Olbermann's show. I have a hard time seeing him as any less biased than O'Reilly.
The AP reporter is not with Olbermann's show...he is just presenting the clip and commenting on it.
People who hear voices... are crazy.
People who talk to Jesus/God/Angels... are blessed.
Mitt --
I love his impersonation of the mentally challenged woman at the end. (yes she is, she doesn't understand calling out someone for saying a falsehood isn't rude, it's frankly required in today's political climate... and 'ugly'? That's mature.)
romney should have stopped there. he was right.
my dad gives me very valuable advice but he is not "running my career".
but then he said "i don't have favours i have to repay". I call bullshit on that. for SURE.
anyway the journalist should have said "influencing" not "running"... or he should have had more backup that the "running" of the campaign was just a front for lobbyists.
Then, the journalist is told it's unprofessional to confront a public servant, and he doesn't call bullshit on that, he just thinks "oh shit, what am i getting into here, is this the best thing i ever did or the worst" and he panics and mumbles something.
So...
FAIL for both of you.
