I should've known Mitt Romney's supplements weren't the only transgression in healing:

Now let us move from General Petraeus’s mistress to General Allen’s non-mistress, Tampa socialite and identical twin Jill Kelley. Mrs. Kelley had clearance for all parts of the MacDill Air Base and was given some kind of commemorative certificate as “honorary ambassador” to CentCom, on the basis of which, in a recent 9-1-1 call, she claimed the right to “diplomatic protection.” Yeah, that’s what Chris Stevens thought in Benghazi. As appears to be well known, the Kelleys have financial problems and their luxury home faces foreclosure. For a while they ran a charity, the Doctor Kelley Cancer Foundation, which makes terminal cancer patients’ final wishes come true. In 2007, they took in $157,284 in donations, and ran up expenses of $81,927 on dining, entertainment, and travel. So, if you’ve got cancer and your dying wish is for Jill Kelley to party, this is the charity for you.

Hey, Mitt's big on "charity" too! Will wonders never cease,...

 

They're All In A Yoga Pose Wondering What Went Wrong

'Bobby Jindal wanted very, very much to be Vice President. He appeared publicly with Governor Romney after the 47 per cent comments, which the governor himself said were totally wrong. 

Newt Gingrich made it clear to us he wanted to be part of a Romney administration. 

Both these guys - and others - were the governor's best friend when it seemed he was on the brink of becoming our 45th President. Now they're calling him a bum. Real profiles in courage.' -- An anonymous adviser to Mitt Romney, on the ethical underpinnings of the Republican establishment, but now naming names. 

This is a righteous beef, and the Romney camp has every right to say it - though the folks who tried to bamboozle us, crying their candidate is being used, is still kinda weak:

 Mitt Romney's duplicitous campaign resulted in duplicity - duh - good work, Igor. 

I almost want to add "Does it hurt?" but that's not what this is about - just as it's not about Bobby Jindal or Newt Gingrich. I am a Republican, and this is about the real world vs. the one many wanted to see.

You simply can't win in one without acknowledging the other.

To me, this has always been about considering what may be a "transcendental" bit o' understanding - of how beliefs clutter the landscape - to lead us not just astray, but into disarray. I expect few will listen.

So - mapping out their current trajectory of accomplishments - on the next episode of Political Wilderness - A Cavalcade Of Conventional Thinkers:

Our leadership's stuck on the outskirts of nowhere, and getting no closer to civilization, while considering massage therapy to undo all their much-too-tightly-wound knots,...
