If Mittens Can Retire “Retroactively”….

….Joe Paterno did nothing wrong, because he retroactively fired convicted pedophile, Jerry Sandusky before he started abusing his position as assistant football coach at Penn State to molest little boys.

….Martha Stewart retroactively told her stock broker not to buy ImClone, so the government owes her a pardon.

….John Edwards retroactively decided to use a condom, and his political career is now in great shape.

….all the folks dragged before the HUAC hearings are innocent, because they retroactively canceled their Communist Party memberships before they ever signed up.

….Charles Manson should not be in prison, because he almost certainly retroactively told his folks not to murder anyone.

....9/11 never happened, we never invaded Afghanistan or Iraq, we never squandered our surplus and the mortgage crisis never cost us our homes and jobs, because everyone who stayed home in 2000, thinking that Gore had the election in the bag can vote retroactively.
