DESPERATE TO PANDER, IT'S BEST NOT TO LIE

Trying to further remake himself as a hard-as-nails, "I've-been-shooting-bunny-rabbits-since-I-cut-my -teeth-on-a-sawed-off-shotgun," former Mass. Guv Mitt Romney claimed he's "been a hunter pretty much all my life."

That bamboozlement took all of 30 minutes to explode.

One of the exactly TWO times he's been hunting was to shoot quail in a barrel with a bunch of fellow metrosexual suits doing the Iron John routine.

This blunder is on the order of Sen. John McCain's bragging about how safe Baghdad has become, so long as you have a personal posse of 100 armed soldiers, a couple of helicopters, a gunship, and personal body armor.
