There's an old curse that begs, "O that mine enemy would write a book." That's a desire getting a big play in the debates between Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who are both trashing my Dad, Ronald Reagan's, so-called "11th Commandment," that Republicans must refrain from attacking each other in public.
Like just about everybody else, I'm being wearied both Mitt Romney and Rick Perry citing passages from each other's books to prove a point.
