Romney: My wife is 'prettier' than Bill Clinton

Mitt spent yesterday in Iowa. He was busy as usual, even attending the Iowa vs. Iowa State football game. This is a BIG game in those parts. He had these things to say:

Commenting Saturday on a new Time Magazine cover story titled "The Real Running Mates" — which focuses on the current crop of presidential candidates' spouses — Republican candidate Mitt Romney said his wife would make a "prettier first lady" than former president Bill Clinton.

Romney made the comments at his tent at the University of Iowa/Iowa State football game. When asked which team he would be supporting, Romney chose to stay neutral, but after a few more people asked the same question, he saw an opportunity to take another subtle jab at the Clinton family, this time toward Hillary.

"I know there's only one thing that would bring both of these Teams … together, and that's to make sure that Hillary Clinton is not the next president of the United States," he said.

Nice jab, governor. Everyone is trying to land tough punches on Hillary recently. Rudy is going ballistic on the MoveOn.org ad.
