Frankly, who hasn't wondered about this?

I liked the reader comment about the submarines.

what is wrong with him?

Its almost like his goal is to appear as a buffoon to huge percentages of the population! Either that, or his jokes have to improve hugely, or specifically appear as jokes, what with the current character assassination environment

I know hes not that stupid, but he just never seems to be able to think before he speaks. He would be much more voteworthy if he take two seconds, decide if whats about to come out of his mouth is idiotic or unfunny, and perhaps not say it or modify it.

How do you know?


GWB made some similar "stupid" comments during his tenure. And, yep, he was that stupid.


This specific situation has nothing to do with stupid. The average person may not understand the prevailing atmospheric pressure and temperature outside of an airplane.

In reality, if the windows did open below 10K feet, he would be correct..........the available oxygen might save some lives in a toxic atmosphere...........might also fuel the fire, however.

You boys best run with it.

From NYMag.com:

The Los Angeles Times story that relayed Romney’s airplane remark to the world was based off a pool report written by the New York Times‘s Ashley Parker. When we asked Parker this morning whether it seemed as if Romney made the mark in jest, she left no doubt. “Romney was joking,” she e-mailed. Parker told us that while the pool report didn’t explicitly indicate that Romney was joking, it was self-evident that he was.

Not my Messiah.

And its not about him doing anything wrong, its about your MSM taking things out of context and people like you running with it.

Article puts to rest the rumor being fed off here wouldn't you think?

I bet you don't buy it as it was from the gal that wrote the original article.

If Mann Coulter, or Michael Savage didn't say it. It didn't happen.

I liked what Ted Koppel said the other day. It's a few years late in the coming.
Ted Koppel takes down Bill O’Reilly and launches war on ‘partisan ranting’ | The Raw Story

Stewart was on it years ago, see the jon stewart vs tucker carlson cnn crossfire thing. Rumor was that Crossfire was cancelled over it.

But you overlook the original reporter who clairified the 'MSM' misreporting. Or did you fail to notice that in liberal form?
