Mitt Romney confuses Keynes and Churchill in defense of flip-flopping

This is hilarious:

Speaking to a New Hampshire Town Hall audience of more than 250 yesterday, Mitt Romney addressed perceptions that he is a flip-flopper by quoting from a political leader he often cites on the trail, Winston Churchill.

"In the private sector, if you don't change your view when the facts change, well you'll get fired for being stubborn and stupid." Romney said. "Winston Chuchill said, 'When the facts change, I change too, Madam'"

The problem? That quote was not uttered by Britain's great wartime leader, but instead is credited to John Maynard Keynes, the British economist whose economic studies gave rise to so-called Keynesian economic theory, which calls for government intervention in economies to balance market forces, and who is loathed by many conservatives.

You may recall that in the Reagan Library debate, Romney said he'd place a bust of Winston Churchill in the Oval Office. Based on this new information, he'd like to change his mind ... to John Maynard Keynes, perhaps?
