Around 1910 a new boy hero made his way into literary history. His name was Tom Swift. He was a young scientist who invented devices to help him in his adventures. The books of Tom's adventures also spawned a play on words of sort, called the Tom Swiftly. An example would be "Did you have to run fast?" Tom asked quickly.
I believe today we have a presidential candidate cut from the same heroic mold as Tom Swift. He is pure of heart and well groomed. He re-invents himself and his positions whenever it is expedient. He tries really hard to represent himself as one of the common folk while tearing down one of his mansions to build a bigger one. Let's just listen in on a faux interview of his:
Interviewer: People say you aren't a true conservative."
Mitt Swifty: "Horse feathers, I am so." (Mitt said severly!)
Interviewer: "You have been accused of being a flip flopper."
Mitt Swifty: "I have always been consistant...mostly." (Mitt said Indecisively.)
Interviewer: "How can you be against Obama care when it is basically your plan?"
Mitt Swifty: "Obama care is nothing like my plan if you look closely." (Mitt exclaimed comparingly)
Interviewer: "Some people don't agree with you."
Mitt Swifty: "They aren't real Americans then." (Mitt said patriotically)
