An aide to former Gov. Mitt Romney who was linked to the campaign’s alleged use of phony badges has created personal Internet pages where he boasts that he’s a top secret “special ops” employee who toils in the “underbelly of politics.”
Will Ritter, who helps plan Romney’s presidential campaign events, included the bizarre, Jason-Bournesque job description on Internet networking pages that also contain boisterous pictures of him hoisting a champagne bottle in a hot tub and other party shots.
The Romney campaign has been besieged by allegations of questionable conduct by aides on the campaign trail. Ritter’s boss, Jay Garrity, stepped down last week after the Herald reported he was accused of distributing phony badges to Ritter and another campaign staffer.

4. I don't know, "underbelly of politics" seems like an apt decription of Romney

5. Once again
"For the good of the people" comes last. Its take all I can, for as long as I can get it, and to hell with the consequences....because _I_ won't have to pay them!!!

Typical neo-con thinking....coming from one candidate that scares the hell out of me....he'll be even WORSE than *....if that's possible!!!

We need a strong military....right....if starting wars all over the world is your plan, then I guess maybe he's right.

6. Ooooh! Did he get a special decoder ring?
You can't do special ops on a presidential campaign unless you have a secret decoder ring.

7. Why do they call it "questionable" behavior?
"Republican behavior" would be the proper term.

8. You'd think that if they were going to
be sneaky, they'd at least do it in a manner that isn't so dorky and third-rate.

Phoney police badges; super-neato secret spy stuff--they're so cute when they act like little grown ups!! Oh, yes they are!!!
