So in the Karl Rove/Atwater school of political chicanery, where you accuse your opponents of your own shortcomings...Fred Thompson is saying Mitt Romney has a porn problem? Or maybe he invested his junior high lunch money in death squads? Or his wife, as a teenager, was a male Pakistani spy?

Perhaps I may have all the details fucked up, but in my defense, FRED THOMPSON WAS ALLOWED TO WRITE AN EDITORIAL.
