Mitt Gone Wild! Criticized For Hardcore Hotel Porn

Posted by Michael Link on July 6, 2007 at 10:38 AM

Mitt Romney, pandering for the support of groups like the Family Research Council, famously blamed pornography for the tragic shooting at Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech shooter, Romney said, "had drunk from the cesspool" of pornography.

But apparently the rhetoric didn't work, and now he's being criticized for not attempting to end hardcore hotel movie offerings during his time on the Marriott board. Industrywide, estimates for hotel profit from pornography go up to $500 million.

Knowing Romney's love of excuses, maybe he can try this one that a Marriott spokesman gave a few years back: "You're asking me if nudity is involved? I'm not a critic so it's not like I can tell you piece by piece what's going on."

Or maybe he can just say he installed a special shield to protect hotel-goers from the pornography on their television screens.

Maybe that excuse is next, but right now he's simply clamming up and hoping it will go away. It looks like the hypocrisy will just be too much for this to simply go without notice.
