Mutt Romney sez goin' after Osama bin Laden's a waste of time |
I wonder what Rudy Giuliani will make of Mitt Romney's recent comments
during an interview with the Associated Press?

On the topic of Osama bin Laden, Romney said, "It's not worth moving
heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one
person."
Talking Points Memo noted last week that the "liberal" media has
remained remarkably quiet about this comment:

We noted yesterday that such a quote coming from a Democrat would have
been broadly covered by the big news organizations and probably would
have triggered a major outcry.
Curiously, though, Romney's quote has been met with near-total
silence.
A news search shows there hasn't been any coverage of it beyond the
original AP write-up yesterday, where the comment itself was buried
towards the bottom of the piece.
There's been almost no mention of it whatsoever in any of the places
where one would expect such a thing to provoke outrage - that is, in
the conservative media and blogosphere.
There are no mentions of it on Power Line Blog, Town Hall, InsaPundit,
Human Events, or notably the site of Hugh Hewitt, who has written a
pro-Romney book.
My guess is they figure it's not worth writing about beacuse by this
time next week Romney will have changed his mind.
