"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."

-Mitt Romney'

He HAS to be joking, right?

right?

Since we don't hear his exact words, just a quote....I'm SERIOUSLY asking if he is joking or not.

It reads like a joke-ish kind of thing, then I take into account that there is no punchline, and he is talking about his wife almost dying, and I ask again...

Is he being serious?

(The twitter jokes are frickin hilarious)

Mitt Romney's first act as president: Air Force One turned into a convertible.

My wife was almost in a car wreck, and it got me wondering, why don't cars have wings?!

yeah...joking about your wife almost dying, or not knowing why a plane needs its windows to not open?

is now the fault of the left wing? rigggghht.....

Is Mitt joking or is Mitt clueless?

If there is a 3rd option, we can discuss that too.

He is not joking, unfortunately, he said it at a Beverly Hills Fundraiser where he raised 6 million dollars...

I would've asked for my $$ back after the guy I was backing said something like that.

Then again, these are republicans.

“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.”
