Corey Booker gives Romney cover on Sununu's race baiting.

http://thepage.time.com/2012/10/25/inside-romney-world/

Booker on Friday said the "responsible thing to do" would be for the Romney campaign to issue their own statement.

"But the one thing I don't like about our political culture is we take one person's comments–stupid or not–and then we just try to spread it out and lay it over anything," Booker said. "Mitt Romney didn't say this, so it's the kind of thing for me that's just a dumb comment."

Booker was in the spotlight himself earlier this year for criticizing his own party's attacks against Romney's corporate career and saying political language used on both sides of the aisle is "nauseating." He later walked back his remarks.


Ugh.

If he doesn't speak for Romney, who does?

Booker is an ass whose 15 minutes need to be up. He could have done so much good, but his ego trumps all.

He is a corporate Dem. And I am willing to bet money he has ties to Bain.

So it is not as if it is just some random Romney supporter saying it. Romney could say, "You are no longer my campaign chair." If he really did condemn the statement, that is. Which - funny thing, I don't believe he has said that, has he? Hmmmm. Maybe he was ok with it until the poop collided with the fan?
