The Bloodied Romney Businessweek Cover That Hasn't Run posted Jan 23, 2012

This image, which appears to be a cover of Bloomberg Businessweek that has not — at least yet — run, was unearthed by Capital New York's Azi Paybarah. Bloomberg Businessweek editor Josh Tyrangiel tells BuzzFeed they didn't use it because it didn't meet the zeitgeist. It does now.

Romney was savaged by all his competition this year in the primaries. Honestly, I don't know what's up with this guy. Is he man really this clueless?

(P. S. Sorry for the wing nut photo link, but the one for BuzzFeed didn't work, but google took me to the other one.)
