WASHINGTON POST columnists Dana Milbank and Harold Meyerson prove yet again that when brains were handed out, they were chasing unicorns.

Let's take Milbank first. In today's column, he argues that Mitt Romney should jump back into the public square, to argue for purging the Republican party of those nasty conservative extremists. Never mind that he's gone back into the business world to try and help keep the economy afloat; after all, he's made enough money. Perhaps so, Mr. Milbank, but maybe he feels that creating new wealth is more important than redistributing old wealth.

Now for Meyerson, whose column suggests that (good) 'innovators' contributed primarily to Obama while (bad) 'financiers' contributed primarily to Romney. Uh, Mr. Meyerson, did it ever occur to you that IBM, Microsoft, Apple, and Google (your examples) might not be where they are today had the (bad) 'financiers' chosen not to fund them? Didn't think so....
