| "Hey the windows on my car roll down. Car, airplane, what's the difference?" |
Romney’s wife, Ann, was in attendance, and the candidate spoke of the concern he had for her when her plane had to make an emergency landing Friday en route to Santa Monica because of an electrical malfunction.
“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,” Romney said. “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.”
"I don't know why they don't do that?"
Perhaps this video might explain why "they don't do that."
Apparently if it were left up to Mitt the Twit his wife would have landed on the ground quite a bit earlier than the REST of the passengers arrived on the ground.
Jesus Republicans, is this really the best you can do?

'''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. ''
ReplyDeleteThat's what the oxygen masks in the plane are for, YOU DUMB-a$$!!
I can't believe this dumb-a$$ has lived 65 years.
Kind of makes ya wonder: did Ann know to use the gas masks at all?
DeleteM from MD
Ann probably thought they were fodder bags or breast pumps, poor dear!!
Deletelol didn't she know you're supposed to break the window open first?
ReplyDeleteKind of wished she did...
DeleteThe combination of 'Words as if Educated' and 'Utter Stupidity' is frightening. Even more so because people are willing to have him as Commander in Chief. It's like W after a bad trip ...
ReplyDeleteAircraft have oxygen masks because 'opening windows' has consequences. Hopefully someone has educated him since.

Romney “earned” millions last year from his investments.
ReplyDeleteHe has a blind trust.
That means he did nothing really to receive all that new wealth.
What “work” does Romney actually do?
Oh right he is a thinker, a problem fixer. Brainiac in a suit.
So what happens if you turn on oxygen near a fire?
Explosion. Problem solved.
What happens if you open a window at high altitude?
Everyone gets sucked out like toothpaste, dies horribly before dropping to Earth.
Problem with Romney’s solutions they are dead wrong.
Psssst...
Mitt, take time off and educate yourself:
Science, physics, history, political science, sociology, mathematics. You know, school stuff.
Mitt, you are good at taking the fortune handed to you and increasing that fortune by having someone else to do the heavy lifting. In this regard you are clever.
Otherwise you are obviously painfully ignorant, and lack common sense.
Please, this country is just now recovering from the blunders of the previous inept Republican President, the willful malice of his administration, and the greed of his business buddies.
Don’t put us through that to us again.
We need a world wise leader. Not an arrogant, impulsive, ambitious, poorly educated dunderhead with his finger on the button.
I don’t want to be sucked out of a plane porthole or be blown to bits. Please.
Ha! "Hey the windows on my car roll down."
ReplyDeleteMore like, "That is, when I tell my driver to roll them down." "Hobbs! Hobbs I say. Roll down the rear windows. Lovey and I are feeling a tad bit stuffy back here. But roll them back up if we detour through some undesirable part of town. You know, where there may be some darker-skinned people living, or those some of those gastly Pizza Huts.."
I can feel it coming in the debates:
ReplyDelete'Mr. Romney, your plans are like trying to lower the windows on an airplane. It's dangerous, because of air-pressure, speed and structural integrity, things people learn about in school unless you become president. The same goes for the economy: pressure, speed and integrity. You need to know how things work and act accordingly, that works for a plane and also for our economy.'
Where's his 'tan'?
ReplyDeleteAnd, Sarah's real boobs! Idiots - both of them, I say, I say!
DeleteHas anyone ever seen Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney together, at the same time? I swear, he's her...with a better wig. But just as stupid.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful Bain didn't take over any aircraft companies, because King Mitt would have decreed all windows be openable.
If this is the way Mitt "wings it", give him the keys to his boat but nothing that gets airborne.
ReplyDeleteWhen you run out of shit to talk about that you actually understand, you ought to shut up.
Or in Mitt's case, keep talking---tell us more about your aviation expertise. And then how you created all those jobs at Bain. And then let's talk about taxes, and those who are aren't responsible enough with their lives to pay taxes...
I wonder if there's a reason Ann was driving the Jet Ski...
DeleteHoly Shit!!!!
ReplyDelete(as Grace Anadarko would say)
He is dumb as a box of rocks! 5 years know this!
Boy Sarita must be Rilly pissed at him...a fire in a plane no less!
Wow!
I can't believe Mitt does not see the tremendous business potential here. Why doesn't he buy up a bunch of airplane companies, fix that pesky window problem, create boodles of jobs, all the while stacking up another huge pile of cash for himself. And he wants us to believe he's a great business leader!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of work. Expensive labor and all that.
DeleteAny vulture capitalist would know all you have to do is buy up all the patents for passenger operable windows in commercial and private aircraft. Whoops, military airplanes too! Then you have a monopoly and charge ridiculous sums so that everyone has to buy your permission to give the people what they want!
The windows can be licensed for production in China, there are a lot of extra workers rioting to get into that Foxconn Ipad factory. They want to work for free I guess, maybe they'll make Mittwindows(TM) for jets for free.
You know, if there ever WAS a reason for being able to open an airplane window at altitude, Romney and his ilk are it!
ReplyDeleteBob Dylan even wrote some background music for that event
DeleteHey, does anybody else notice that "sucking" noise?
ReplyDeleteAnn? Honey, they just said something about decompressing. Yeah, I've had a hard day and I need to de-com- Ann? Where are you hiding, dear?
Come here, shugums. Ann?
I'll say it. It was a little too convenient for that fire to ground Ann's plane right after she gave that "stop it" speech. Poor Ann had to cancel the rest of her speaking engagements. I can't help but wonder if someone just left some food in the airplane's oven too long, and it burned, filling the cabin with smoke. Oh, and if you don't think that the Romney campaign would do such a thing, just wait until later in October. Ann might have a health crisis. Awww, and we'll all have to vote for her husband because we'll feel so sorry for her.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree on all points. The Romney Campaign is in full panic mode and Ann is the shiny object they're counting on to bide time and sympathy.
DeleteHe was too busy torturing other kids to learn stuff in school.
ReplyDeleteO/T but Baldy realated...the Creepy's won't be on Insannity tonight...per the Asylum...
ReplyDelete"This just posted by Sarah Palin from her brother:
Chuck Heath, Jr.NEW DEVELOPMENT!!!In light of today's huge news events in the Mid-East, our Hannity appearance tonight has been postponed until later this week. Hannity should make an announcement about it tonight. Hang in there.... we'll still tape it tonight and you'll see it soon. Our national security takes precedent over any book.Thanks for understanding,Chuckps. We'll still be on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning."
Err...what "news event in the Middle East"??
yeah..what news event in the Middle East? Well, I would think that if someone were to find a firefly trapped in a well somewhere, that would pre-empt the Palins..
DeleteYea, what Mid East news?
DeleteWho would even waste their time watching creepy Mr. Heath and his son say anything about Sarah Palin.
DeleteThat book will be a disaster. Trust me!
I bet Insannity is going to do just that -- go totally insane over the 'bump in the road' ref the Mittens is trying to 'manufacture' into news.
DeleteAs Mitt is not getting traction on it as everyone is pushing back Willard on his reference it includes the death of the Ambassador.
Insannity will try to 'enflame' it.
Patients at the Asylum are saying that Baldy and the Toad are at DWTS tonight! I wonder how drugged up Baldy must be to show that tranny man face in LA!

In classic style little Chuck says "will take precedent" instead of "will take PRECEDENCE". Remember, little Chuck is a teacher. I guess sometimes we set the bar pretty low up here regarding teacher certs?
DeleteAnd what does Sean Hannity have to do with National Security?
DeleteI seriously suspect he's not that bright, and used his father's money and influences to get a degree and a job.
ReplyDeleteI agree w/you at 2:21. Romney assuredly isn't showing himself to be very smart. In so many things! I really question how he supposedly ran Bain Capital. I suspect the others ran it for him - he had the money and they just made him think he was handling all the decisions.
DeleteHe'd be horrible as President of the US & Ann Romney would be nothing more than a total bitch and complainer in the role of first lady (won't even use the correct letter size in referring to the two of them in either role).
The couple is a total disaster. Lies, constant changes back and forth, non disclosing of plans if elected and not able to stand on a thing he has done in his past. Plus, he is leading a horrid compaign!

Hey bitch voting for Kristy & Maks!!! Not your skank ass!
This opening windows for jet plane passengers from Mitt Romney is similar to Akin's (no pregnancy from rape) refusal to even acknowledge the existence of readily accessible answers to life's little puzzles. The internet and search engines, make it very easy to not sound like a complete IDIOT in your daily conversation.
ReplyDeleteRomney (and Akin) are never near people that will say "what a stupid thing you just said". Romney's wealth and religion let him exist in a sea of fawning flunkies. Romney loves the comfort of being intellectually incurious and being admired for it.
I doubt Romney's ability to comprehend of the physics involved in nuclear war. Or, for that matter, a simple backyard barbecue. Little hint, Mitt, you BLOW on the charcoal to make it burn more.

DeleteMitt isn't a bad looking person for someone who is pushing 70, same with Ann. They are completely reprehensible as human beings but they aren't that badly preserved for a couple of old folks, especially because Ann is supposedly "ill".
Another reason not to vote for Willard. Next thing you know he'll be unable to identify a chocolate donut. Oh wait... That happened already. It's amazing how strong the teabaggers hate for the black man is that they'd be willing to vote for Romney.
ReplyDeleteAnd please, for pete's sake, don't send him any cookies that look like they are from 7/11 as a consolation prize if he loses. He hates that kind.

ReplyDeleteComment at HuffPo:
ReplyDeleteRomney is plane stupid.
Almost, Liz I.
DeleteSince I graduated with honors in the same 6th grade class in Arkansas as Jethro Bodine, I noticed right quick you misspelled a word...
You spelled it "stupid", but I was learned to spell "stoopid". Don't feel bad. That's a big extree-credit word on the spellin' test.
Yup, R-money Boo Boo is jus' plane stoopid 'bout flyin' plains. I druther Honey Boo Boo pilot the dam thang.
Hey, maybe "Hair Force One", Mitt's campaign plane, has windows that open? The pilot can't pressurize the aircraft and must fly below 10,000 feet at all times, but really, Mitt can afford the extra jet fuel right? Just to feel the wind in his hair ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, come on people, Ann could've just grabbed onto the wing and waited until the last second to jump clear of the plane the instant before it crashed.
ReplyDeleteDuh.
Well Ryan said they weren't going to get the vote of smart people. Perhaps this is a strategic move to get more of the dumb undecideds.
ReplyDeleteUh, visibility one niner, five thousand and climbing, roger that. She might have been safer riding in a box on the plane's roof rack like the pets, livestock and dark-skinned steerage class passengers do, over. Plenty of fresh air up there, 10-4. OpaLocka West, do you copy?

Gee wlillikers Mr Romney! If the cabin wasn't pressurized, Ann would have had problems with little things like breathing and staying conscious.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, there was an Ambulance Landcraft on the tarmack, and Ann was whisked away to the emergency room, took a number, and sat for hours while waiting to be seen, forced to wear one of those hospital gowns while her Vintage Oscar Di La Renta dress was dry cleaned, her make up re applied, and her jewelry polished.
Oh, the humanity!
Yes, Mitt, roll the windows down, let the breeze in. Fill her up, get a free window wash and check under the hood. Keep those windshield washers clear of debris, and drop a nice tip in the pilot's tip jar. No dogs on the roof now, you hear?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I always asked my husband why his submarine didn't have windows and whatnot that he could escape from when he was in the Navy!
ReplyDeletesnark off.
Yep! There's the guy whose finger you want lingering over "the button"!
ReplyDeleteOne last observation from that speech.....wtf did Ann have on??!! She has worse fashion sense than the Palin clan, and I didn't think that was possible.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a fireman and has seen personally what adding oxygen to a fire does. Can Romney be any stupider? Ok....that is two observations.
