Via Politico's Playbook column, Mike Allen relays reporting WashTimes Seth McLaughlin, from last nights Romney funder at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington: Bill Marriott, chairman of Marriott (International), introduced Romney as thus:
"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."
The stuff writes itself. .

Mitt Romney really doesn't want voters to know how many servants he has or how much he pays them

(8,492 posts)1. What a heartwarming story...
...of sacrifice and courage. He could've fallen in, but he laughed...LAUGHED I TELL YOU...in the face of danger!
His 'friends' are tools out of the same box mixed in with the nuts and missing screws.

(11,229 posts)2. Idiots like Marriott have no business handling boats.
He needs help tying a boat up to a dock on a freakin' lake?
Dumb shit.
> there was no place to park,
Like calling the salon on a boat the "living room", or the head a "toilet", or the berths "beds".
> Who's going to grab the rope?,'
It's called a painter, dope.
Another rich idiot who has no clue about his toys.
