Romney Aide Under Investigation Disappears Himself
This morning you probably read about Jay Garrity, the hapless aide for Mitt Romney who's under investigation for allegedly impersonating a cop, harassing a reporter and other shenanigans.
Well, it looks as if it's finally dawned on Garrity that he's creating a problem for his boss. The Romney campaign has just confirmed to Ana Marie Cox that Garrity is taking a quiet leave of absence until those probes are sorted out.

Too funny.

According to his Hopkins private school bio, he was doing 'advance work' for now convicted Connecticut Governor John Rowland while he was in high school. Must have been honing his talents for quite some time. (Roland, as you may recall, had a contractor rebuild his vacation house for free while governor).
Romney took flack for having the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pay nearly $350,000 a year to have Garrity and a team of 'advance people' where none had previously existed. Guess he couldn't rely on overzealous volunteers.
