The Right Height

Asked by the AP reporter if he follows NASCAR, Romney responded, "Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans. But I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners."

...

"Mitt Romney's speech this afternoon to the Detroit Economic Club at Ford Field started off poorly with an embarrassingly below-capacity crowd and only got worse when he made a couple of awkward gaffes towards the end. First, he repeated his bizarre and widely-mocked line about liking Michigan because 'the trees are the right height.' Then, he played into the out-of-touch patrician narrative he's trying to shed when he said his wife drives not one, but "a couple of Cadillacs.'"


This guy doesn't have a clue, does he? I actually laugh out loud every time he painfully reveals yet again just how out of touch with the average American he is.

He can't hear himself talking over the sound of the change in his pocket. I never heard the tree height thing...what on earth is he trying to say with that debacle?
