Mitt and Begonia-gate
By GAIL COLLINS
NYT
Oh, wow! Rick Perry hit Mitt Romney with the illegal immigrant landscapers!
It was the high point of this week’s Republican debate, and somehow I have a feeling it was a preplanned attack. Perry was so eager to tell the world that his nemesis had once relied on undocumented workers for a healthy lawn and well-maintained tennis court that he responded to a question about uninsured children in Texas with the story of Mitt’s yard work.
“And the idea that you stand here before us and talk about — that you’re strong on immigration is, on its face, the height of hypocrisy,” Perry declaimed.
I found this very exciting because it brings us closer to the moment when one of Romney’s competitors will point out that he once drove to Canada with the family dog strapped on the roof of the car.
