Mitt's Nightmare at 20,000 feet

Following an emergency landing his wife's plane had to make last week, the governor took a moment on the campaign trail on Monday to comment on her safety.

"I appreciate the fact that [my wife] is on the ground safe and sound," he said. "I don't think she's aware of just how worried some of us were."

Romney continued, "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go exactly. 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, but it's a real problem," Romney said.

It's a real problem that the windows don't roll down on airplanes? Is it also a problem that guns don't shoot backwards through the barrel this way? Or that diving boards are only really ever mounted over very deep water? Why don't the windows roll down?
I don't think he was joking because he couldn't possibly be joking about his wife almost being in a plane crash. You can't joke about that, especially with her standing right there. So has he never seen Goldfinger?

Science Genius Mitt Romney Thinks Airplane Windows Should Open
~ Headline on Wonkette

Can't. Tell. If. Serious. (He can't be serious).

Those windows are just the right size to be sucked out of.

Rombots don't need oxygen.

Mitt Romney: A vote for roll down windows on airplanes & right-sized trees!
~ comment by BillinFla on Huffington Post

Doh, he would be very upset if the person in front of him on the plane opened the window and it messed up his hair.

While on the subject, Romney also wants to know why the windows on the space station don't open.
Romney continued, "When you have a fire in the space station, there's no place to go exactly. And you can't find any oxygen from outside the station to get in the station because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that, but it's a real problem," Romney said.

And submarines, what's up with them? No windows at all! No screen doors, either. I'm at a loss to explain why.
