""I had the chance to pull together a Cabinet, and all the applicants seemed to be men," he said. "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women.""
"Binders full of women" not only spawned an Internet meme, but at least 2 Twitter accounts (@RomneysBinders and @womaninabinder), a Tumbler feed and a Facebook page. It even has its own webpage, which actually came into being 90 seconds after Mit uttered this phrase. Yeah, no slip of the tongue (never mind a political lie and misstep, but that's another discussion entirely) goes unpunished on the 'net.
So why is this related to IS? Because it proves that no matter how stupid a comment somebody makes, it can (and often will) be shared with the entirety of the internet. The ability to communicate information without practical use outside of entertainment is practically what social media runs on anyway.
