Well, sort of. Remember that story about Romney being threatened on a plane? Here’s the other side of it. And against all odds, given the anger of the confrontation, it’s … surprisingly sweet.

My respect for Mitt has increased 100 fold. I liked his joke at CPAC too.

Berry Gordy’s spoiled rapper grandson doesn’t have to abide by federal regulations and put his seat up for takeoff, dontcha know? How dare Romney ask him to do so.
Street cred for Romney, b**ches.
Scumbags. Both of em.
I don’t think he’s a Vulcan; he is definitely Romulan.
especially the part where one of them asks the other:
“will you vote for him (mItt)?”
RAPPER: “No, I’m a Democrat”.
Nice one, got a laugh out of me :D
If a hand comes out of nowhere and grabs my shoulder I’m not likely to ask what they want!
Any Trekkie worth his salt will tell you..
There is no Vulcan “death” grip!
There is only the neck pinch.
Where’s ‘Epic Beard Guy’ when you need him?
I’ve been on flights when folks of this guy’s “persuasion” will not put the seatback up. I think it’s their way of showing they are “down fo’ th’ struggle”.
Ah you purist’s...
The Star Trek episode “The Enterprise Incident” includes a scene in which Spock administers the so-called “Vulcan death grip” to Kirk to convince Romulan onlookers, apparently unfamiliar with Vulcan techniques, that Kirk had been killed. In fact, Spock had merely used a particularly powerful nerve pinch to put Kirk into a deep unconsciousness that closely resembled death. Kirk awoke a short time later with head and neck pain but no lasting injury. The “death grip” differs from the “nerve pinch” on that the nerve pinch is administered to the neck area and the death grip was administered to Kirk’s face; the palm directly over the nose and the fingers spread out over the rest of the face. This also differs from the “Vulcan mind meld” grip which is administered to only one side of the face.

McCain Feels The Heat For Romulan ‘Slur’
In recent days, facing what has become an increasingly tight race between himself and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, McCain has found himself repeatedly under verbal attack from his smartly-groomed rival.
On Sunday, campaigning in Michigan, McCain struck back.
When during a televised town hall debate Romney begged McCain to “just admit that you’re in favor of granting amnesty to this country’s ten million illegals,” McCain shook his head and then smiling, commented dryly “Why don’t you have another Romulan Ale, Romney?”
Romulan Ale is illegal in the United States.
Romney, whose father is Romulan, admitted in his book “Upswept Eyebrows, Distant Dreams” that he had taken sips of the super-charged blue colored alcoholic beverage during childhood visits with his grandfather to shrines in the Romulan capital, Romulus.
“Senator McCain crossed the line with his brutal attack,” said Case Metcalfe, who is one of Romney’s chief strategists in Michigan. “He blew it. The American people don’t go in for personal attacks, and I really think this is going to hurt him,” she added.
Romney said later that McCain’s comments amounted to a “racial slur” and challenged McCain to “come to Romulus and tell the good people there how he feels.”
LOL
I took a Vulcan Death Grip class.
The graduation rate was 50%.
One class where going first pays off.
“My respect for Mitt has increased 100 fold”
Mine too, but zero times 100 is still zero.
