Around the Tubes - September 21, 2007
- The Mitt Romney campaign is asking their supporters to take materials provided on the Romney for President website and remix them into campaign videos. Well, the folks on the Slate political and video teams have taken this opportunity and used it to poke fun at Romney, who once equated his 5 sons' work on his campaign to the service of our soldiers in Iraq.
