2835.(Via Talking Points Memo) Breaking news: Newly released screenshot of Romney iPhone app shows he isn't really running for President of the United States, but some heretofore-unheard-of country called …

Mitt Romney: the gift that just won't stop giving, no matter how hard he tries.

Pays to be cognizant of these things.
