Actor Nathan Fillion runs with theory that Mitt Romney is 'a slimy lying toolbag'; Update: Fillion's 'Firefly' co-star Adam Baldwin weighs in; Update: Fillion gets defensive

Update:

Fillion’s evidently feeling some residual heat from his Romney remarks. A day after his initial tweet, he said this:
