Mitt Romney: Caught in TWO Lies?

We've read how Mitt Romney admitted that his father George had never marched with Martin Luther King, that he meant it in a figurative sense (not sure how you do that). Today we read in the Boston Globe this fascinating fact:

Mitt Romney went a step further in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: "My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit."

Yesterday, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom acknowledged that was not true. "Mitt Romney did not march with Martin Luther King," he said in an e-mail statement to the Globe.

Naturally, Mitt must have marched in a "figurative" sense here as well.
