Piltdown Man of Politics

Esquire's Charles Pierce may have stumbled upon an inconvenient truth about Mitt Romney: "The Republican Party is simply never going to be happy with Mitt Romney. Granted, this is partly because a substantial part of the Republican Party is insane. Granted, this is because another substantial part of the Republican party is only marginally insane. But mostly, this is because a substantial part of the Republican party realizes, as does any sentient human being, that Mitt Romney is the Piltdown Man of American politics, a massive public hoax cleverly built from the dead bones of other campaigns. He's as perfectly manufactured a fake as ever has been handed to the American public."
