Do you feel Mr. Romney really believes that airliners should have windows that passengers can open?
Actually, Until you asked me that and I found the video of him saying it, I did! And now that I did some research, I have COMPLETELY changed my mind on this. He WAS joking around. And I really didn't think he would be joking about his wife being stuck in an airplane.
So, I was wrong about this one. And I now know that he was just trying to be funny... Thanks for challenging me on it.

Hi BH....
I watched the video from a couple of sources...

I don't here the crowd laughing,
I don't see him pausing to allow for a laugh,
But personally I don't think he was kidding.

99% of Americans sure-as-shinola know why you can't roll down the window on an airliner
I seriously doubt that! Do you have a source? I suspect many would claim they can't "roll down the window" because there's no window crank, or power window switch.

Which would be amongst the reasons why you can't do so. So your point is?
Oh yeah, he's half African-American, I forgot
What else, besides racism, explains this double standard?

Reading some of the replies, I see there are people who think a guy that can make hundreds of millions of dollars for himself and his investors, is somehow an unintelligent idiot. The guy has degrees from Stanford, Brigham Young, Harvard Law and Harvard Business School, and he rescued an Olympic Games that was going down the toilet. Yeah he's a moron.
did you hear the part of the story about the fact that said dog had the liquid sh*tz, which was dribbling down the back window of the station wagon, so at one point Romney pulled over at a service station and hosed the car and the dog down. In case you don't know, dogs tend to have B.M. like this when they are under stress.

Nope! You misunderstood my comment.
Because you didn't understand it the first time time around, perhaps you should try reading it again. Here it is:
He certainly doesn't "come across" as being very damn sharp, but it's my understanding that many felt the same way about Albert Einstein.
If you still don't understand it, I will attempt to guide you through it later. I'm going to bed.
See ya,
Milt
I understood it just fine, you're saying, like Einstein, Mitt could just appear dull, but in fact be one of the smartest people to ever live...
No, I totally get it... You think Milt, sorry, Mitt could be an undiagnosed smartie pants... Very doubtful, considering his long long long stream of mistakes and asinine statements...
like Einstein, Mitt could just appear dull
You think Milt, sorry, Mitt

Though I didn't directly express my perception of Einstein, the following is close enough:
like Einstein, Mitt could just appear dull
The rest of your nonsense was just added to intentionally misrepresent my statement.
You think Milt, sorry, Mitt
That's okay. It would be much more insulting for someone to associate my name with "longlostbrother".
See ya,

Damage to the frontal lobes has been historically related to changes in personality, with striking effects on a person\rquote s ability to tell jokes and respond to humor. Such individuals often exhibit silly euphoric behavior, inappropriate laughter, and have an addiction to telling jokes that are usually inappropriate in content.
