Did you get a hit on a Dave Matthews song?

This guy is already positioning himself against Thompson. There is some rough language...

No, but I got a sudden inexplicable urge to listen to Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry".

That's funny

I took that as Romney talking about "dirty water" as an environmental issue - that he was pointing out that Obama is more concerned about teaching kindergarteners age appropriate sex-ed than having a safe place to play.

Am I wrong?

That's the way I read it too.

Perhaps that article is a good way to determine who has a dirty mind, eh?

I think he is talking about influences from the media, schools, and society in general, as Hyrum suggested. IN fact, it seemed so clear to me that I am surprised that anyone thought otherwise. If I am wildly wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

Hyrum is right. Romney has been running an ad in South Carolina and Iowa where he refers to a Peggy Noonan article about how children are swimming in an ocean of filth and he wants that to change. His quote was referencing that analogy.

Seems like a reasonable explanation.
