Wonder if Mitt realizes that we usually can’t see that beautiful yellowish brown grass this time of year. And exactly what is the right height for trees?
What a maroon.
Have you ever been to a funeral for someone who was not a churchgoer, and an unfamiliar pastor had to be found and hired to perform the eulogy?
They hem and haw, make vaguely pleasant inferences that could apply to just about anyone, then struggle to say something, anything specific about the dearly departed, who is a total stranger to them. It’s very uncomfortable, even embarrassing.
That’s what this sounds like.
“What a maroon.”
Bugs Bunny for Prez!
I'm anything but a Romney defender, but I actually see his point about the trees.
I'm a Michigan native. I've visited most of the lower-48 states and either lived, worked, or spent extended periods of time in Missouri, Iowa, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Illinois, and (sorry to say) Massachusetts.
Compared to most of those states, Michigan has so much fresh water and rainfall that its trees grow taller than many other states. That was one of the big things my wife liked about Michigan — she complained about the stunted bush-like trees in many other places where we've lived or traveled.
Now if the rest of what Romney says could be made to make sense, I'd be happier, but the tree comment is one of the few things he says to which I can relate.
