Journalists Are Mad About Being in Romney's New Ad

You would think, after the Obama campaign debuted their knockout punch yesterday, the Romney campaign would want to come out strong with their next ad. Instead, they've pissed off two out of the three journalists featured in their thirty second spot.

<..> The ad aired during Sunday morning's Face the Nation, and it was the first time Schieffer had seen or heard anything about the ad. He was a bit caught off guard. "That was a question that I posed to David Axelrod -- not a statement," Schieffer said on Sunday's broadcast. "I have no affiliation with the Romney campaign. This was done without our permission. I'm sure I'll get some blowback." Shortly after, Halperin tweeted his displeasure:

CORRECTING 3/3: "I do not want my role as a journalist compromised for political gain by any campaign." (3 of 3)

Willard is batting zero today. He ought to know better than to do this.

How many times has this statement applied this election season?

Apparently he and his campaign don't know better. Pissing off the press is probably a very bad idea.

Mitt is awesome in his arrogance and/or incompetence and complete inability to get what makes other people tick. Truly awesome.

Mitt and "his people" really do seem to live in a bubble.

Wow, Mitt, really? Really???

He truly is the worst campaigner for President I've seen in my lifetime.

Schieffer has been around a long time, not somebody to piss off. Willard ought to apologize. Ha!

So... the Sunday morning talk shows sound like a Republican attack ad going after Obama. Do you think this will give any of them pause?
