Mitt: "It's so Hard to Find Good, Legal Help These Days"


Mitt's peeved that--gasp--as a leader in "the party of 'personal responsibility,' " he's, you know, expected to show...a little personal responsibility:

Republican Mitt Romney denies any responsibility for hiring illegal immigrants as workers at his home, insisting it was the fault of contractors and calling for tighter federal guidelines to verify the status of workers.

Asked by a reporter Friday if he shouldn't go the "extra mile" because of his business background and his strong advocacy of clamping down on illegal immigration in his presidential bid, the former Massachusetts governor shot back: "And what's the extra mile? So for instance, if I go to a restaurant, do I make sure all the waiters there are all legal?"

A Mitt administration would no doubt create a Department of Check the Status of Mitt's yard guys (with the Federal Check Mitt's Busboys, Dishwashers and Waiters Agency contained within).
