Who is Mitt RawMoney? (AKA Romummy)

One reason it's hard to find the core of Mitt RawMoney is that he is a bigger liar than Rush Limbaugh. He lies tirelessly. It's embarrassing. He's a tsunami of lies. It's no wonder no one likes him. But the charge that he lacks a core is mistaken. RawMoney has one. You can see it in the gaffs that he makes--gaffs occur when he forgets to lie. He reveals himself.

What his gaffs demonstrate is that RawMoney is a straightforward greed-monkey who measures issues and people in terms of profit and loss. He has no empathy. "I like to fire people," he said on TV. He's not a liberal or a conservative. Profit and loss have made him rich in the financial world. He's proud of his thefts. He refuses to apologize for grinding the faces of the poor. And he has no idea how other people react to his gaffs--he assumes blindly that people admire him.

RawMoney is in a position that Henry J. Kaiser once described for me, a corporate leader surrounded by well-paid yes men and cut off from common sense and reality. It has not yet occurred to him to ask how many corporate leaders have been elected President of the United States, so that is what he will be offering the voters, corporate leadership, a candidacy preaching the virtues of corporate greed. Wow.
