Mitt Romney Explains to Iowa Voters That "Corporations Are People"

Alright, I'll admit that this sounds bad…

A feisty Mitt Romney faced down unfriendly fairgoers at the Iowa State Fair Thursday, and he also issued an accidental one-liner destined for Democratic attack ads should he become the Republican nominee.

"Corporations are people, my friend," he said at one point, during a long back-and-forth on funding for Social Security and whether that funding should be a part of deficit negotiations.

In Romney's defense, I'm relatively certain that one of his biological grandparents was a corporation.
