From last night’s Romney funder at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington: “Bill Marriott, chairman … of Marriott [International], introduced Romney. Marriott shared stories about how they have been family friends for decades. This is one of his tales:

“‘Both Mitt and I have summer places up in New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee. And a few summers ago I was taking my grandchildren and children to town in the boat for ice cream. And we got into the docks and they were all full and I looked around, there was no place to park, so we stopped at the end of a dock. They all jumped off and ran up the dock. And I realized there was nobody in the boat to help me dock the boat, handle the ropes, do anything – they just left me out there at sea. So I finally found a place to park after about 20 minutes, and I pulled in, I said, ‘Who’s going to grab the rope?,’ and I looked up and there was Mitt Romney. So he pulled me in, he tied up the boat for me. He rescued me just as he’s going to rescue this great country.’”

5. the world these people are living in

can you imagine having anything you want financially/materially yet being so ignorant of reality.

6. Yachts for Mitt

8. He once saved his friend's Mercedes from a muddy ditch

by ordering his servants to crawl under the wheels for traction.

9. that's a rescue? Absurd. But it most assuredly was not a yacht.

Marriott may well have one, but not on Winnipesaukee.

I'll be okay *sniff*, just give me minute.
