Right after June's disappointing jobs report, Mitt Romney went right out and stepped on the rake of bringing up his business background -- i.e. Bain just as it was going to become nearly toxic.

And never one to pass up an opportunity for self-inflicted wounds, he followed up the well-aimed mockery of the Obama "firms" commercial with one that shows he is running against a guy who can carry a tune.

And then, the same day, the biggest crony of all made the news:

Sheldon Adelson Biggest Donor To Romney And Republicans Did Business With Chinese Mob
