From Mittenses' fundraiser reported today in the Los Angeles Times:
QuoteRomney'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 you can't open the windows on an aircraft, either. It's a real problem.
well to be fair the lack of oxygen from opening the windows at altitude would help put out the fire :P

:lol: Among a lot of other things.
I was hoping that this thread would be interesting rather than just more beating of Romney's dead horse. And it's not even some kind of hillarious creationism retardation. It's just some ho hum statement.
Seedy, you are to politics what Tim is to football.
I saw that earlier as well. He had to have been joking... right? :wacko:

no, it would just reduce the rate of combustion. So the fire would not go out it would just burn slower.
BTW, this guy also didn't believe in anthropogenic global warming and thought schools should teach both side of evolution vs creationism. So, him not getting how airplanes work at high altitude is not surprising.

I think you're misunderstanding the problem. But then again, I'm talking to a guy that believes that arguing semantics against grumbler is a good use of time.

I'm pretty sure he was playing dumb for comedic effect. Mitt may be a sociopath, but nothing I've seen from him indicates that he's that retarded or that ignorant.
It's amusing to see a Russian try and call someone a sociopath. You people aren't even human.

Here there's a monthly basement party with that name.
@Neil - This close to an election it is best to turn Seedy off. Especially when he cribs a monger's title.

Not soon enough. There's nothing good about this election. Smug assholes who are wrong about everything beating up on stupid fucks whose policies are incredibly perverse is BORING.

For some reason I have a mental image of him in the Shatner role in
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet now.
