Reminds me of the movie Anger Management...

Sounds like some poor schmuck had a bad day and took it out on Romney. Chances are the guy may not even known who Mitt was.

Not a fan of his, but those saying it’s a stunt...come on. Romney would never risk his pretty looks to prove anything. He’s too big a puss for that.

You would brag about being vulgarians? Not surprised.

“Your ability to see things clearly really impresses me.”

lol

Extremely wealthy people who have very big dreams are capable of a lot of things. People who surround and support extremely wealthy and powerful people are willing to do what they need to do to secure position and power. Take note of Edward’s right hand man who was willing to lie to his own wife, destroy his own personal reputation, and tell the world that Rielle’s baby was his own. And Edwards, the brilliant and wealthy attorney and Senator was willing to allow his servant to take the fall for him.

Some people who want power will do anything to get it.

If this had happened on a Southwest plane I would say it was the one with the defective seat that I had the misfortune to sit behind. The seat in front of me came back so far that it was about 6 to 8 inches from my face.

Nothing could make the Goth attired woman sitting in it put it up. Not me, the stewardess or my husband. My husband finally changed seats with me and he kicked the back of her seat for the entire remainder of the flight. She was either stoned of pretending to be.

Some people are so rude they should not be allowed out in public.

Yeah right! And did you know that the government blew up the levees in New Orleans? I have that on good authority, my dishwasher repair guy told me.

Most definitely not staged.
Romney is the supreme opportunist, though.

Inexcusable. I loathe Romney as politician, but this is nuts. No one should be physically assaulted by a jackass, not even Romney.

OTOH, how soon will the attacked be linked to the Tea Party and Sarah Palin?

“Gee...they’re just as crazy in first class.”

He wasn’t in first class. He was in row 15 of an Embraer ERJ-90.

“Scuttlebutt is that this was staged by Romney for Romney.”

That’s just plain ridiculous.

“Doesn’t Romney have a book about to be released? Publicity stunt.”

You have to be kidding!

Mitt Romney-care should have let the stewardess handle it
20 seconds later, and the plane would not have been delayed.

BUT, Mitt Romney-care has never had good judgment,
and besides, "Don't you know who he is"?

A joke is a short story or ironic depiction of a situation communicated with the intent of being humorous.

You had to look up the definition of joke for yourself? For what reason did you have to send it to me?

Post 50 on this read...you know, where you responded to my joke about crazies in first class by pointing out that Romney was not in fact in first class, but in row 15, and citing the article about the particular plane...
