(CBS News) In an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley on Friday, Mitt Romney played down the remarks he made about President Obama's origins, arguing that they amounted to a joke and not a "swipe" at the president.

"No, no, not a swipe," Romney said. "I've said throughout the campaign and before, there's no question about where he was born. He was born in the U.S. This was fun about us, and coming home. And humor, you know -- we've got to have a little humor in a campaign."

What? "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate." That's not a swipe?

And then he says "we've got to have a little humor in a campaign." What was the humor if it wasn't a swipe? Romney is truly mind bending.

Todd Akin must be chuckling. Romney is "that close" on this one.

4. Hey Mitt, where are those tax returns? Were you given amnesty for your Swiss bank accounts?

5. RMoney's idea of humor....

Pinning down a gay student and cutting his hair. Dressing up as a cop and stopping people in cars. Pushing his sons' faces into the butter. Ah, yes--a veritable Merry Prankster is our Willard. I guess if anyone understands humor, it must be Mitt.

6. Humor that works should be self-deprecating

As it is when our President jokes about it. Self-deprecating, not even remotely taken as validation of a lie.

Romney's sense of humor equates to the bully label he earned in his youth.
