Hypothetically, if I ever wrote an autobiography, this would be its title.
Republicans Weigh In on Romney’s Record at Bain Capital
“[They] loot companies, leave behind broken families, broken towns.”
—Newt Gingrich
“It’s the ultimate insult when Mitt Romney comes to South Carolina and tells you he feels your pain—because he caused it… There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business. I happen to think that is indefensible.”
—Rick Perry
“Romney has claimed to have created over 100,000 jobs at Bain, and people are wanting to know: is there proof of that claim? And was it U.S. jobs created for United States citizens? Also, too, that’s fair, that’s not negative campaigning.”
—Sarah Palin
“Governor Romney enjoys firing people.”
—Jon Huntsman
“While Mitt Romney was at Bain Capital, almost one out of every four companies they were involved with went bankrupt or went out of business.”
—John Brabender, Santorum campaign manager
OT, but who knew Sick Rantorum’s campaign manager was named Bra Bender?

Iowa Congressman Steve King (R) used a town hall meeting yesterday to compare immigrants to dogs, saying that the United States should be selective when admitting them by choosing the “pick of the litter.” Video of the comments, uploaded by progressive consulting firm American Bridge, was first published in Salon.

Kickass Kid of the Day: A Maryland-based scientist has developed an incredibly accurate mechanism for detecting pancreatic cancer, which is faster than current methods, as well as 100 times more sensitive and 28 times cheaper. Oh, and the scientist is 15 years old.
For his discovery, high school freshman Jack Andraka just won the Gordon E. Moore Award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which comes with a $75,000 prize.
Andraka’s method uses single-walled carbon nanotubes — which he calls “the superheroes of material science” — to detect a pancreatic cancer marker in urine and blood samples. In a blind test, it had a 100% success rate.
“I did not expect for it to be this good,” he said, “I was blown away by how sensitive it was.”
