Retroactivity a'la Romney
So, Romney seems to think that saying "Retired Retroactively" makes anything he did during several contested years at Bain just magically go away? Below are some possible adaptations of that logic:
“That baby is not mine, because I put on a condom after we had sex. Retroactive Responsibility.”
“I did not shoot that man, because I retroactively became a pacifist in favor of gun control”.
“I was not driving drunk, because I retroactively sobered up.”
“I cannot possibly have the Clap, because of my retroactive virginity.”
