Sorry for swearing, sister who still talks to me, but this has just gotten beyond parody, through absurdity, and into sheer delusional alternate reality.
Willard did not even put together the list of women for consideration of appointment to Massachusetts state offices. A bipartisan group did it
Mitt blatantly lied to the American people.
Unbelievable but typical that a spoiled rich bully brat grows up abusing his position and privilege and continues, as a result of some pathological need for approval (Younger than his three siblings – Margo Lynn, Jane LaFount, and G. Scott – Mitt followed them after a gap of nearly six years), has to lie about every single thing in his life to aggrandize himself.
Kind of ironic the kid who gave swirlies still feels the sting of feeling uncool, perhaps because he couldn't join the jocks on athletic teams at his exclusive boarding school..
["Now one of the reasons I was able to get so many good women to be part of that team was because of our recruiting effort."
Not a true story.
What actually happened was that in 2002 -- prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration -- a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.
They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.
I have written about this before, in various contexts; tonight I've checked with several people directly involved in the MassGAP effort who confirm that this history as I've just presented it is correct -- and that Romney's claim tonight, that he asked for such a study, is false.] emphasis added
