In response to a commentary by Kathleen Parker that Americans can't identify with Mitt Romney because he's "too perfect," former John Boehner aide Scott Galupo argues for U.S. News and World Report that the idea is absurd. "Romney's principal problem isn't a lack of personal connection with people. It's that he irritates people. He's a transparent phony who, unlike President Bill Clinton, isn't even particularly good at being phony," Galupo writes. "Mitt Romney is a rancid impostor."
