Mitt Romney, speaking at a fundraiser in California, spoke about his wife’s harrowing experience on an airplane when it filled with smoke.
He said, according to the LA Times:
“When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — 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. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”
There's an old joke that said if George Bush said the earth was flat, the headline on Fox News would be
"Shape of the Earth: Opinions Differ."I can't wait to see what happens with this...

LOL indeed! It will never cease to amaze me how anyone who is even semi-scientifically literate can read the description of the Jaredite barges in the Book of Ether and still take the Book of Mormon seriously!
I am almost equally amazed that someone with Mitt Romney's education can fail to understand why airliners don't have windows that can roll down or otherwise be opened by the passengers. In this highly technological age, being that scientifically and technologically illiterate should disqualify anyone from holding any high public office requiring them to be responsible for important, national policy decisions.
