ROMNEY'S FICTIONAL "MARCH ON GROSSE POINTE" Mitt Romney has taken to mentioning that, as a young man, he watched his father George, a former Michigan governor, participate in a march with Martin Luther King, Jr. The only problem is, no one can find any evidence that George Romney ever marched with MLK or that such a march ever occurred in Grosse Pointe, MI. Mitt Romney only just started talking about this in campaign speeches, so the fictional event must have come to him recently in a moment of inspiration. Too bad political reporters like to research such things.

Not a good look. The front runners (he and Hillary) have really been stumbling lately.

Wow. This is why I still have love for journalists. Sure they don't even cover relevant things half the time and they are more focused on the horse race rather than the issues, but you can count on good ol fashioned cynicism which leads to fact-checking. There's no way I would think that he'd lie about that so I wouldn't even think to fact check

When I first saw the title I kept thinking that CAN'T be Grosse Pointe, MI.

Who would march in Grosse Pointe…and for what?
