EDITORIAL Give Gov. Romney and his boys a hand ""1 omething is going terribly wrong in the tate of Massachu setts. It's not about money, or power, or politic . It' deeper Sand far more dangerous because it's all about human nature and that horrible place in all of us that allows hate to overshadow every other emotion. What did Gov. Mitt Romney do that was so wrong over the weekend? The answer is nothing. In fact, he did something very right. He and his sons saved six people from drowning in New Hampshire's Lake Wmnipesaukee. They were in the right place at the right time, and did what a lot of us could not. or would not do. Instead of praise, however, they're criticized. Some of it is political, of course. Legislators - the Democratic legislators anyway - apparently think the governor hould be cowering in his comer office waiting for legislative overrides to I his budget vetoes instead of taking a vacation. How foolish. It's summer. Romney is entitled to a vacation. I House Speaker Tom Finneran went to Europe in the middle of l budget preparations. Give the governor a break. Some of the criticism, however, is pure hate - even from columnists-not just for Romney, but hi s entire innocent family. t One area columnist accused the Romneys of walking on water. Another, in a left-handed compliment, suggested the Romney clan is a super family and can do no wrong - save a family of ix from sure death one minute and read bedtime tories to the grand kids the next. And while some in the media are attacking Romney and his sons for saving lives, there was a perfect example on Tuesday about the death of a child that could have been avoided.
