Romney Is As Dense As Ever

And for this mornings WTF moment, I present Mitt Romney's "regret" that Grenell left his team. 

Mitt Romney said today he wanted openly gay spokesman Richard Grenell to remain on his team, as he stressed his campaign does not discriminate in its hiring.

"He's a very accomplished spokesperson," Romney said on Fox News, in his first remarks on the Grenell controversy. "We select people not based upon their ethnicity or their sexual preference or their gender but upon their capability."

Sure, you hire without discrimination, but you don't want him to have the same rights as straight folks.  You want to make sure he can't have benefits that cover him and his partner equally.  You want to make sure that if he adopts a daughter, she won't be paid equally or have full control over her body and medical rights.

But gee, Grenell is a quitter.  He dumped you, jackass.  Everyone knows it but you.

Of course Romney wishes he had stayed. It exposes him as an asshat when Grenell stood up for himself and his right to live how he chooses.
