Answering "Bain Ate the Twinkie"

Who killed Hostess?
Excerpts:

The left is madly spinning (aka, lying about) the impending demise of Hostess, trying to blame the free enterprise system, and even Mitt Romney's former firm, Bain Capital. This is a lie. It was inside job of the left, with a prominent Democrat helping himself to consulting fees and a hundred thousand dollars a year sinecure for his son.

... While the unions and their media allies like to cite executive salaries and consulting fees paid to executives as outrageous, they are ignoring left winger Dick Gephardt cashing in for himself, and more outrageously, for his son, who was appointed to the Hostess Board and paid one hundred thousand dollars a year.

... Allowing the media and labor bosses to spin Hostess as the fault of Mitt Romney is simply ridiculous.

Comment: Bane Ate the Twinkie. I love the graphic (red boxed above).
