Mitt Romney, the former Republican governor of Massachusetts, was physically assaulted Monday by a fellow passenger on a flight from Vancouver, Canada, to Los Angeles.
Romney, a 2008 presidential candidate and a potential 2012 contender, asked a passenger who was seated and reclining in front of his wife, Ann, to move his seat upright during take off.
"The passenger became physically violent. Governor Romney did not retaliate, but instead let the airline crew respond to the incident," said Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom.

RINO hunting is frowned upon in confined spaces. It just isn’t sporting.

The guy who assaulted didn’t even necessarily know it was Romney. Sounds like he was just really ticked off and flew off the handle. What was Romney doing in the cheap seats anyway?

Actually, the guy tried to smack Romney, missed and ran his hand across the top of Romney’s hair... cut his hand to shreds...

Apparently cheap seats are all that are available on this type of plane.

Must have been a FReeper! No, most FReepers (even the unhinged FReepers) are smart enough not to throw a punch at somebody on an airplane and end up spending the night as a guest of the TSA.

I just assumed this would be in breaking news.
