Bob McCarty Writes

“Shoot!” probably isn’t the word Mitt Romney’s using to berate himself over a claim he made on NBC’s Meet The Press program, but it seems appropriate nevertheless. the Republican presidential candidate was, after all, the victim of a self-inflicted “dumbshot” wound Sunday morning — and it’s still “bleeding” today.

As a result, Romney’s been taking a beating in many corners of the mainstream media and blogosphere alike. Take a look here.
