Surely you can’t be serious!
I guess you picked a bad day to give up drinking.
I am, and stop calling me surely. Does this seem to anyone else like the asshole at the amusement park, restaurant, hotel, boy scout camping event, or any other function involving the peons that always cries out for special treatment when his significant other gets a scraped knee, trips on a curb, gets his shoelace caught in an escalator or looses his sunglasses on a roller coaster? “They oughta make a law against it” Or," Why can they make the playground floor out of something less abrasive." or " No one told me …" I he epitomizes the elitism that even his own party condemns.
Im sorry about that “why can’t they make the playground floor less abrasive?”
Designer bowling shirts.
“Why is there no ice at the Romney residence? Because the servant who made it quit!”
“How many Romneys does it take to screw in a light bulb? 2. One to do it, the other to bitch about it being so difficult!”
Rachael Maddow had a video of it on her show tonight. I was only listening, but I got the impression it was a bad joke told badly by Mitt. It’ll be on YouTube by tomorrow, I’m sure. There were a few nervous twitters from his audience, but certainly no general mirth.
Well played, sir.
Well, there is a British pilot that would tell him why they don’t do that.
[Aside:]
You should check sometime the documentary “Air Crash Investigation” where those images in Cracked come from regarding that incident, the tale of survival of the pilot and the plane are one of the most suspenseful moments ever seen on TV, and the most scary thing is that it happened in real life.

Yea, sounds like an awkward attempt at a joke. Probably would keep him from being voted “Last Comic Standing”, but not really a problem vis-a-vis becoming Prez.
If it’s a joke it just says something completely different about his character and really makes me wonder what Ann sees in him. A week after he’s filmed saying we can’t put Ann out their too much because people will get tired of her, he’s making jokes about her potentially deadly experience. Guy’s a real hoot.
Meh, lots of people joke about scary experiences once they’re over.
So I don’t think he was actually suggesting the windows should be able to be opened during flight. I think he was saying there should be a way to replenish the air from outside when necessary–and mentioned the windows along the way to clarify that it would need to be something other than opening the windows.
He forgot about the existence of the oxygen masks, though.
If Ann was the one telling the joke it might have even been funny.
This isn’t a campaign breaking issue or anything and if people are deciding who to vote for based on this that would be be rather ridiculous of them. It’s kinda in line with making fun of Obama for misspeaking or not knowing the the national debt number. Only ideologues are going to harp on it.
Overall it is funny, the comedy isn’t directly a result of his joke.
Hmm… Seems Gov. Romney’s not familiar with the concept of a “venturi”.
This means that he wouldn’t be able to answer the question “How does a carburetor work?” either.
Fortunately, this isn’t knowledge necessary to be President.
I wonder, though, if he’d get painted as out of touch and unable to deal with surprises if he were asked “How do you change a flat tire?” during a debate or interview.
(Set down safety triangle behind the car, unpack trunk, take out jack and wrench, loosen lugs till fingertight on the wheel that’s flat, jack the car up, remove lugs, remove wheel, jack the car to where the spare will fit on, slide the spare onto the hub, crank the lugs down a little, lower the car onto the ground, tighten the lugs all the way, put away the jack, flat, and triangle, repack trunk. Bonus points for saying to put the flat under the car so it can’t fall all the way if it comes off the jack. Penalties for not loosening the lugs before jacking up the car, failing to put down the safety triangle.)
Is ‘call someone to bring me another car’ not an acceptable answer?
How did this guy become Governor of MA?
Just to make sure: you know that the Bush scanner story was more or less made up out of thin air, right?
“How do you change a flat tire?”
“No problem – just call AAA.”
Well, heck – that’s what I’d do.
