Still flying commercial Mitt?

Why not give Nancy Pelosi a call next time you need a ride?

“etiquette guru Jodi R.R. Smith”!?

...they actually had to call a “guru” to ask if Mitt did the right thing? This isn’t under the heading of “etiquette”! It’s more under the heading of “self defense”!

If Romney had not tried to do the stewardess’
job, we would not need to hear Stephen Reynolds’s
side of the alleged incident that was stoked by Romney.

“Prevailed?”

He might have done the right thing, but prevailed means you are standing with your foot on the broken corpe of your enemy wiping the blood from your sword with the tattered remains of his flag. Not “allowed the airline crew to handle the incident”.

[Doc Savage]

He could have merely slapped the person across both cheeks with an AMC work glove!

Romney handled it the way it’s supposed to be handled. Simple as that.

“If the person either snarls at you or ignores you, step number two is to enlist the help of a ‘powerful other,’ ” she said, applying the psychology term for a person of authority.

F that. I got my own rage now, kinda like Michael Douglas in "Falling Down". But alas, I'm through with flying so I won't get that particular opportunity.

why coach? If I had his $$$ I would never fly coach again.

Stupid move on Mitt's part.

Press the little button on the arm rest and let the professionals do their job.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney showed the right stuff by keeping cool when an unruly airline passenger threatened the likely GOP presidential contender

"Likely GOP presidential contender"in his dreams!

[RowdyFFC]

I don’t think there would’ve been anything wrong with standing up and facing the jerk and asking him if he would like to ask the pilot to return to the gate so they could discuss the issue openly on the ground.

We made a serious mistake when we started molly-coddling bullies on the playground.

This heroic event in Mitt Romney’s plane flight seems to have legs, I wonder who will play him in the movie.

His coverage is a little different than the coverage that conservatives get, can you imagine Governor Palin receiving all this praise over something so minor?
