As ABC News reported, it would appear that Mitt Romney has gotten his campaigning “groove” back, starting with a well-received speech to Michigan Tea partiers last week:

Much of his speech to Tea Party groups here Thursday night was standard stump, but he related two stories about his father and boyhood in Michigan, and another about the Olympics, hosted in the wake of 9/11, that had audience members nodding approvingly– even wiping away tears.

There was only one problem: The tale that had the olds weeping for a Detroit that will never return was a bit of a tall tale, as Mitch Potter relayed in The Star yesterday:

When Mitt Romney regaled a Michigan audience this week with childhood memories of a landmark moment in Detroit history, it was a rare instance of emotional candour.

And, perhaps, an even rarer example of time travel.

Romney recalled he was “probably 4 or something like that” the day of the Golden Jubilee, when three-quarters of a million people gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the American automobile.

“My dad had a job being the grandmaster. They painted Woodward Ave. with gold paint,” Romney told a rapt Tea Party audience in the village of Milford Thursday night, reliving a moment of American industrial glory.The Golden Jubilee described so vividly by Romney was indeed an epic moment in automotive lore. The parade included one of the last public appearances by an elderly Henry Ford.

And it took place June 1, 1946 — fully nine months before Romney was born.

He’d have been but a fertilized egg in his mother’s womb at the time, IF he is in fact, even a human being in the first place!

The Tea partiers still want to see Obama’s long form, but why is no one clamoring to see Romney’s birth certificate? Might it be because his papers prove he was created in a robot factory (owned by the Koch brothers, no doubt) and implanted with memories?
