The American election is becoming a bit farcical at this stage. Despite having bucketloads of dosh to spend, Mitt Romney is going down quicker than Luis Suarez after slight contact in the box. But, in fairness to the Republican nominee for President of the United States, he’s pretty damn entertaining.

Romney is still attempting to recover from basically writing-off 47% of the voters of America, and this latest gaffe won’t exactly help his reputation. According to The Indo, via The LA Times, the man who could have his finger on “the button” in a couple of months is not attempting to break the habit of a lifetime with another ridiculous quote.

See, Romney’s other half was on board a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing. Naturally, the press were interested in what exactly happened and the Mick McCarthy look-alike spewed, "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly, there's no – and you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem. “ Yes, Mitt, yes it is.

His other (hopefully better) half is safe and sound but was “choking and rubbing her eyes,” apparently. A bit like us after laughing so much reading that quote.
