Romney Doesn’t Know Why Airplane Windows Don’t Open

He evidently really said this in the context of discussing Ann Romney’s airplane mechanical incident.

“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were. When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”

And how come you can’t pull over the airplane at a rest area to make a tinkle?

    I guess you can’t make this stuff up anymore… “Oh waiter, Check Please!”

    I don’t know why it’s set up this way, but it mildly inconvenienced my wife, so it has got to go!

    It’s just one big performance art show now, right?

    He should talk to Payne Stewart about de-pressurization on a jet. Oh wait a minute…

    There should be drains in the bottom of boats, too… it’s very dangerous in a storm if you can’t let water out. A submarine should have screen doors. Dog kennels ought to have places to attach lash straps or ropes. When you buy a rain coat made from a trash bag make sure it has a zipper, for Pete’s sake. When you buy a range hood, make sure the accessory kit contains an over-sized replacement bulb, duct tape, and aluminum foil. And why aren’t all trees just the right height?

    So he has no idea what the little bobbly thingies that drop down in front of your face are for. He really should read the little card in the seat back pocket. So much of his confusion about flying machines would be resolved.

    [Stop me if I've told this story before.]

    Many years ago, I was in a car with some friends, one of whom turned the wrong way up 2nd Avenue. Another turned to the driver and said, “Dave, are you that dumb of a shit?”

    Mr. Romney, are you that dumb of a shit?

    Romney needs to watch this.

      I loved those guys. Tim Conway was always so good at keeping a straight face and just loved to make the other guys crack up during a skit.

    Only in America as the saying goes, Bush but worse would you believe.

    Somebody out there, can you please, PLEASE make a plane where the windows open because I would just love, love, love it if RMoney and his wife would open them to catch a little breeze at 30,000 feet.

    How do these idiots get into Harvard? Seriously, how?! I make Romney look like someone who barely registers on an EEG and I’m nobody.

    I guess they’re down to the Sarah Palin voters lining up to vote for this dufus.

    Whatever the craptastic Saturday morning “news” show is on abc led with “OMG TERROR AT 44,OOO FEET”; I immediately laughed because no matter how hard they try to humanize her, she’ll find a way to make herself unlikable again.

    FWIW, I wouldn’t care about her being hurt in that airplane any more than she cares about me.

    …too stupid to live…

    Maybe Mitt and Ann can watch The Twilight Zone, where there’s a gremlin tearing apart a plane while in the air, then they explain to an audience their existance and the need to combat them.

    He has people to know things like that.
