In my continuing efforts to combat misleading memes around the blogosphere, I offer the following—the exchange in which Romney is alleged to have said that Obamacare is “not worth getting angry about.” That’s not what he said. This is:

…watching the debate? Yeah, another one. [ADDENDUM: Ace has some interesting observations on who wins debates.]
