(Thomas Mitchell/4THST8 Mitt Romney apparently is making hay in a TV ad over the single ethics violation the Democrats could nail on Newt Gingrich — whether a college course he was teaching was advancing his partisan goals.

Same Old State Of The Union, Again »
(Jim Clark) – Question: What do alcoholics, drug addicts, cheating husbands and politicians have in common? Answer: They’ll tell you anything you want to hear, any time you want to hear it.
