For those who regularly watch Maddow's show on MSNBC, this is not breaking news. But this blog entry does well summarize the unbelievable mendacity of Romney and his handlers.
There's dishonesty in politics, and then there's meta-dishonesty in politics
.
No question that Romney and his campaign staff are guilty of "meta-dishonesty."

Romney faces broadcast media (major networks) and CNN and Fox
Joint News conference going on now according to Huffington Post on Facebook. Reports say that the exchanges will air on nightly news broadcasts.
Also, Romney will do a separate interview with Fox News to be broadcast later.
Finally, the short piece just in from www.wral.com:
Former President Clinton says "Romney's record as the head of private equity firm Bain Capital is fair game and says taking a microscopic look at Romney's finances is "just as relevant as going over m y record as governor when I ran for president."
He says voters "ought to make up their own mind" whether they support someone who apparently sought to minimize his federal tax liability by parking large sums of money overseas." (from www.wral.com)

Do Bain SEC documents suggest Mitt Romney is a criminal?
Posted by Glenn Kessler at 06:02 AM ET, 07/13/2012
"Romney and Bain claim that he was not involved with Bain, but Bain and its portfolio companies in their required filings under the Securities Exchange Act continuously certified to the Securities and Exchange Commission say precisely the opposite — asserting without qualification that he was a controlling person, fully in charge of Bain, under the Federal securities law. Under normal circumstances, the question of the truth of this representation would result in an investigation by the SEC into possible criminal, as well as civil, violations of the law."
