One more to add to a long list of reasons to dislike Team Mitt

This makes no sense (hat tip):

As you probably heard, some Mitt Romney surrogates hosted a conference call today to attack Newt Gingrich. Because Romney is attempting to win a Republican primary β€” and cast Newt Gingrich as unacceptable to conservatives β€” you probably assume that center-right journalists or conservative bloggers got to ask some questions, right?

Wrong. Here’s the list of reporters and media outlets who were permitted to ask questions:

JOHN DICKERSON, CBS NEWS
MARK HALPERIN, TIME
LLOYD GROVE, THE DAILY BEAST
EVAN MCMORRIS-SANTORO, TPM
DAVID CORN, MOTHER JONES
PHIL RUCKER, WASHINGTON POST

That’s it. No Townhall.com, HotAir, Daily Caller, Washington Examiner, National Review, Weekly Standard, American Spectator, or Washington Times … you get the picture.

Ed Morrissey responds:

Mother Jones? TPM? Great roll call you fellow had, there, for a lecture on conservatism. As far as I know, we didn’t get an invitation to this conference call, although to be fair we were so swamped with registration issues that we could have easily missed it. But if Team Romney wants to argue for conservative support β€” or at least to argue that conservatives shouldn’t support Gingrich β€” shouldn’t they be talking with conservative media to get that message out?

You’d think, right? Or maybe Team Mitt has been conditioned to do what the boss does and pay only lip service to conservatives while in reality doing underhanded things when they think conservatives aren’t paying close attention that will royally cheese them off.

Please, please, please tell me I’m not gonna have to vote for this guy in the general election. :-<
