Liberals have conspiracy theories, too

Mitt Romney and the case of the possible handkerchief VIDEO

BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD

This has been a banner week for conspiracy theorists, conservative and liberal alike.

The liberal foofaraw was over a mysterious white object that Romney had on him during the debate that may or may not have been a cheat sheet. It resembles the theory that George W. Bush was wearing a wire during his debate against John Kerry in 2004. The Romney campaign said it was just a handkerchief, and seeing as how he used it to wipe his face during the debate, the case is probably closed.

Or is it????

Judge for yourself:

1. The Bush-wire theory was never debunked

A NASA photographic expert called Robert Nelson was of the expert opinion that it was an electronic device used to communicate with someone elsewhere.

2. Bringing anything to the podium in '04 was against the rules.

Unfortunately we (as in us) aren't privy to the 2012 Presidential debate rules but the rules for '04 were leaked.

3. Everyone realizes...

...this is mocking people who don't accept it was a hanky and that "or is it???" was clear sarcasm, right?

Any effort put into trying to push this narrative further just distracts from the far more important coverage of the jobs report.

4. Oh, yeah, because one guy already widely thought of as a sleazeball sneaking notes into a

debate is exactly like multiple people agreeing to fudge employment numbers.
