Via Pandagon, news of Biscuit's home state Guv'nr

How, how, how did we end up with this guy as our governor? I read recently he is on the short list to receive the mantle of leadership when Bush is done with it. Yay.

Newsday.com - AP National News:

Hoping to bring capital punishment to Massachusetts, Gov. Mitt Romney is preparing to file a death penalty bill early next year that he says is so carefully written it will guarantee only the guilty are executed.

Based in part on the findings of a death penalty panel he appointed, the bill would limit capital punishment to the “worst of the worst” crimes including terrorism, the murder of police officers, murder involving torture and the killing of witnesses. It also would use evidence such as DNA testing to protect the innocent.

Romney wants his death penalty bill to be a model for other states.

“The weakness in the death penalty statutes in other states, of course, is the fear that you may execute someone who is innocent. We remove that possibility,” Romney said.

As Pandagon points out. it's never a good sign when someone claims something is foolproof. Who does Mitt Romney think he is, God? I thought Christians were supposed to be all about the human fallibility, judge not lest ye be judged, stonethrowers beware, etc.
