Mitt Romney Super PAC rolls out first attack ad of general election

So Restore Our Future, the Mitt Romney Super PAC with the nonsensical name, is out with its first negative attack ad of the general election ... and it goes after Hilary Rosen and Bill Maher for allegedly saying mean things about Ann Romney:

If this is the best Mitt Romney's Super PAC can do, they're in a lot of trouble. The ad is absurd on its face: it tries to attack President Obama because of some out-of-context statements coming from two television personalities. Even if the statements weren't out of context, they had nothing to do with the fact that Ann Romney has battled through serious illness, and nobody is going to believe otherwise.

Moreover, just like everything connected to the Romney campaign, the ad is premised on a blatant falsehood: neither Rosen nor Maher are White House insiders, let alone spokesmen. Regardless, President Obama, Vice President Biden, the White House, and the president's reelection campaign have all made it clear they rejected the remarks.

But probably the most notable thing about the ad is what it doesn't talk about: Mitt Romney or the economy. Given that Romney's entire campaign is premised on the idea that he alone has the business experience to accelerate economic growth, that's a pretty glaring omission.
