Quick, call Glenn Beck, Mitt’s going to praise Teddy Roosevelt

…  and claim that the Republican Party of 2012, not Obama, is the true heir to Roosevelt.Via Politico, You, sir, are no Teddy Roosevelt:

In a speech to be delivered in Bedford, N.H., this evening, Mitt Romney will push back explicitly on Barack Obama’s recent invocation of Teddy Roosevelt in a speech the president used to frame the 2012 campaign in terms of “fairness.” Here’s what Romney will say:

Just a couple of weeks ago in Kansas, President Obama lectured us about Teddy Roosevelt’s philosophy of government. But he failed to mention the important difference between Teddy Roosevelt and Barack Obama. Roosevelt believed that government should level the playing field to create equal opportunities. President Obama believes that government should create equal outcomes.

So now Beck, in order to be intellectually consistent with his position on Newt, will declare that he would prefer a Ron Paul third party candidacy over Romney and that any Tea Party supporter who chooses Romney over Obama does no on the basis of race, right?

And Beck will join Ann Coulter in crashing a plane into the conservative aircraft carrier.

The rest of us will simply bang our heads against the wall.
