"I'm running for office, for Pete's sake!"

If Mitt wins the Republican nomination for president, be prepared to hear the caption repetedly(ha). In a rare display of his true feelings, that was his reply in a debate to the charge that he had hired illegals to work on one of his properties.
When the Boston Globe ran an article about his lawn care service which was employing illegals, he went to them and said they had to quit the practice. Not because it was wrong, not because it was illegal. Rather, because he was running for office, for Pete's sake.
I think it was Michael Kinsley that said a gaffe is when a politician accidentally says what he's thinking.
