WSJ TRIES TO DEFEND MITTENS

Laura Ingraham mentioned this otherwise I wouldn't have read this WSJ editorial:

Mr. Romney's failures to communicate are common among businessmen and other normal people who have the right instincts but haven't spent their lives thinking about politics.

First of all, you don't need a frigging lifetime in politics to have an output editor. Second, Mittens has spent years in politics according to this online biography:

In 1994, he ran for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts but was defeated by longtime incumbent Edward Kennedy.
In 2004 Romney authored the book Turnaround: Crisis, Leadership, and the Olympic Games.
Romney parlayed his success with the Olympics into politics when he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2003. After serving one term, he declined to run for reelection and announced his bid for U.S. president.
Romney continued to keep his options open for a possible future presidential run. He maintained much of his political staff and PACs, and raised funds for fellow Republican candidates. In March 2010 Romney published a book titled No Apology: The Case for American Greatness in March 2010. The book debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list.
At a farm in New Hampshire on June 2, 2011, Mitt Romney announced the official start of his 2012 campaign.
