But it is illegitimate to ask a candidate, "Is Jesus the brother of Lucifer?"
It is hard for me to see a principled difference between these two questions, and I think on reflection that the audiences to whom Romney is trying to appeal will also fail to see such a difference...

Romney's speech was a new low in our race toward becoming the political laughingstock of the developed world. The only silver lining in the thing was knowing it was all such a huge, cynical lie. And that he won't be getting elected.
