1. Ok, that's a keeper

It's a good thing Willard is rich enough to afford his own planes. Can you imagine the reaction of passengers on any plane he might board, in the future? Not to mention the crew!

2. I can imagine this scenario:

Captain giving preflight briefing to lead flight attendant: OK, looks like the weather will be good for the whole flight, we don't expect any turbulence. Should be about two hours en route. No unaccompanied minors. One thing, though. Mitt Romney is on this flight. Don't let him try to open any windows or doors. If other passengers notice him, try to keep them calm.

Just before pushback:

Nervous Passenger (pushes flight attendant call button)
Flight Attendant: Can I help you, sir?
Nervous Passenger: That guy who's sitting up there in 3A, is that Mitt Romney?
Flight Attendant: I believe it is, sir.
Nervous Passenger: 3A is a window seat - does that window open?
Flight Attendant: No, sir. You can't open the windows on this airplane.
Nervous Passenger: Are you sure? I mean, that's Mitt Romney! What if there's smoke in the cabin?
Flight Attendant: If that happens we have procedures to handle it. Mr. Romney won't be able to open the window.
Nervous Passenger: I'd feel better if you'd keep an eye on him.
Flight Attendant: We'll do that, sir.

En route:

Mitt Romney (pushes flight attendant call button)
Flight Attendant: Can I help you, sir?
Mitt Romney: Yes, I'd like more lemonade, and a cookie. But not one of those 7-11 cookies.
Flight Attendant: Yes, sir. We have Biscoff cookies, will those be all right?
Mitt Romney: Aren't those foreign?
Flight Attendant: I don't know, sir. They are very good with coffee.
Mitt Romney: I don't drink coffee. Bring me some lemonade. Wait, do I smell smoke?
Flight Attendant: No, sir, that's just a little spilled coffee on the hot plate.
Mitt Romney: Coffee is evil, and if that's smoke we have to open a window.
Flight Attendant: The windows can't be opened, sir, and there is no smoke.
Mitt Romney: I'm rich and you're not, and I demand that you open a window!
Flight Attendant: I'll need to talk to the captain about that, sir.
Mitt Romney: If you don't open a window I'll do it myself! I have a fork!
Federal Air Marshall: Excuse me, sir. May I have a word...?

Fortunately, Mittens probably doesn't fly on commercial airlines, since this would require him to rub shoulders with hoi polloi.

4. I am thinking we need a new bumper sticker: "We Are the Hoi Poloi"

It has a nice ring to it. And it's just foreign sounding enough to piss off the teapers.
