Esquire’s Charles Pierce on Mitt Romney’s meeting with right wing media and wingnut bloggers like Dan Riehl: In Which Mitt Romney Charms the ‘Base’.

It seems that they rolled out the Romneybot 2.0 for a meeting with some of the true conservative cognoscenti, intelligentsia, and pudding-fondlers. OK, all things considered, I can see him having to meet with the crew from NRO or even Human Events. But, god help us, this guy? Or this guy? Corndog and Buttmissile from Minnesota? These are the people you have to charm to be the Republican nominee? If this meeting wasn’t held in a belfry, I’m going to be the most disappointed guy in town.
