Worst Talking Point, Best New Meme: Retroactive Mitt (Updated)
by therehastobeaway
Too funny. With news breaking an hour ago that Mitt Romney retired from Bain retroactively (whatever the hell that means), at the hands of Ed Gillespie's hilarious attempt at damage control following yesterday's instaclassic BLOCKBUSTER half-a-million-views-in-a-day slamdunk Obama ad "Firms", the internet isn't wasting any time in responding:
...a kossack wrote a diary on it earlier: Sr. campaign advisor Gillespie says Romney ‘retired retroactively’ from Bain
...there's @LOLGOP:
...an old Twitter account has found new life today, and may possibly go viral: RetroactiveMitt. Many hilarious #retroactive puns to be found over there.
Personally, I can't wait for the Romney campaign to demand an apology from @RetroactiveMitt. LOL
...a Yahoo question has already been raised:
...#retroactively is trending on Twitter

It's #retroactively satisfying to see Bush's favorite hacks Ed Gillespie and Karl Rove making everything worse for Mitt.

UPDATE
You know it's bad when the business community rips you a new one. From "Everyone Is Already Ripping This Mitt Romney Adviser For Saying Romney 'Retired Retroactively' From Bain Capital" via Business Insider:
"This Political Wire tweet says it all: "Romney campaign comes up with worst talking point ever.""
This is just delicious.
