Mitt's Minions on MySpace?

We thought Jay Garrity, Mitt Romney's former pretend police officer and factotum, was creepy. But Garrity loses to another Mitt Minion - Will Ritter.

Casey Ross at the Herald had the best journalism job ever when he got to write about Ritter's self-described shenanigans. On MySpace, Ritter claimed he was in "special ops" yet he still had time to party it up in a hot tub. If he's so important, why does he have so much time to build his MySpace page?

Wonkette sprinkled its post with L. Ron Hubbard references, suggesting that Romney has watched so much Battlefield Earth that his judgment is impaired. Greg Sergeant at TPM Café mocked the delusions of grandeur that Romney staffers appear to hold:

Next up: Romney aide caught at a plush hotel bar talking in a Brit accent on a cell phone to someone named "M" while ordering a martini "shaken, not stirred."

Ritter's name will no doubt be listed in the Political Hall of Infamy. Attention young political aspirants - don't open a MySpace account. Don't open a Facebook account. You will regret those images of yourself frolicking in a hot tub.

Seriously – we make fun of Romney all the time. We've been told we make fun of Romney too much. But Mitt Romney might lose his campaign because he's hiring a bunch of guys who haven't been properly vetted. Maybe Romney is hiring these people on "hunches," but that would indicate his judgment isn't especially sturdy.
