"The Real Romney," David Brooks.

Oh my God, David Brooks http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/28/opinion/brooks-the-real-romney.html?_r=1&src=ISMR_AP_LO_MST_FB:                                      :

He [was born] hair first, believing in America, and especially its national parks. He was given the name Mitt, after the Roman god of mutual funds... [ed note: Oh my God!]

He uttered his first words (“I like to fire people”) at age 14 months, made his first gaffe at 15 months and purchased his first nursery school at 24 months. The school, highly leveraged, went under…

Mitt grew up in a modest family. His father had an auto body shop called the American Motors Corporation, and his mother owned a small piece of land, Brazil. 

...his fourth-grade project, “Inspiring Actuaries I Have Known,” was widely admired.

He developed a lifelong concern for the second homeless…[ed note: Oh my God!]

Romney also went on a mission to France. He spent two years knocking on doors, failing to win a single convert. This was a feat he would replicate during his 2008 presidential bid.

...he attended Harvard, studying business, law, classics and philosophy, though intellectually his first love was always tax avoidance.

He once canceled a corporate retreat at which Abba had been hired to play, saying he found the band’s music “too angry.”

Mitt helped Ann raise five perfect sons — Bip, Chip, Rip, Skip and Dip…[ed note: ditto]

After a successful stint at Bain, Romney was lured away to run the Winter Olympics, the second most Caucasian institution on earth, after the G.O.P.

Brilliant, brilliant writing. David Brooks, YOU sir, deserve a Pulitzer Prize for that column alone...No, a Nobel Prize, ALL the Nobel Prizes. This was Mitt Romney's week. Until now.
