Mitt Romney praises governor who wrote book calling Social Security a�Ponzi�scheme

As everybody knows, Rick Perry wrote a book in which he called Social Security a Ponzi scheme. And as everybody also knows, Mitt Romney says it disqualifies him from being the GOP nominee.

It turns out there's another governor who just wrote a book in which he called Social Security a Ponzi scheme: Mitch Daniels of Indiana. But when it comes to Mitch Daniels, Mitt Romney must not think it's a big deal,  because over the weekend, he said Daniels could have his choice of jobs in a Romney administration.

Speaking before about 400 party activists in a downtown ballroom, Romney sprinkled flattering references to Daniels through an otherwise standard stump speech. Asked afterward by the locals whether he'd consider their governor as a vice presidential running mate, Romney was encouraging but non-committal.

"Where's Mitch in your government?" one gladhander wondered. "Wherever he'd like to be," answered Romney. "Mitch is an extraordinarily capable guy."

You at least gotta give Mitt this: He's got absolutely no shame and is willing to say whatever he thinks it takes to get what he wants.

2:53 PM PT: Maybe Mitch Daniels has caught Mitt's disease: now he says he wouldn't use the term "Ponzi scheme" to describe Social Security again. Of course, Romney's statement about Daniels came before Daniels' own flip-flop.
