Given the notoriety of his family, he should have known better, it comes across as self-promoting. Plenty of other people his age would have done exactly the same, though, assuming they were brave enough and caring enough to even bother themselves with stopping to assist. So, I’d give him a break, he knows better now. Live and learn.
“Given the notoriety of his family...”
What, exactly, are the Romneys “notorious” for? Dad’s allegedly killing the wife of a former employee of a company Bain bought years after he’d left Bain? Or the $15M the Romneys gave to charity?
Maybe I’m being a grammar nazi here, but ‘notorious’ has a very negative connotation, i.e., famous for being bad. We may not agree with Mitt’s politics, but he and his family have done too many good things to be cast as “notorious.” Have you EVER seen the Clintons referred to as “notorious?”
