Quote of the Day (‘The New Yorker’s’ George Packer, on Mitt Romney's Replaceable Positions and Irreplaceable Hair)

“With the Republican nomination wrapped up, Mitt Romney has dropped the severe conservatism, stopped denouncing the children of illegal immigrants, and started claiming authorship of the auto-bailout plan, which he had formerly dismissed as a goodbye kiss to the industry. By Election Day, he will have replaced so many parts so many times that nothing of the original Romney will be left but the hair.”—George Packer, “The Talk of the Town—Comment: Six More Months,” The New Yorker, May 14, 2012
