You must have never seen the Popeye cartoon where he eats his spinach and shoots a mouthful of nails like a full auto assault rifle into the boat he's building.

I'm sure Mitt saw that one when he was young, he just thought it was a working class documentary.

Depending on what your definition of the word "saw" is.

^snip^

Romney said in a 1978 interview with the Boston Herald, "My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit." It's a claim that he continued to make over the years, most notably during a 2007 interview on Meet the Press with the late Tim Russert.
He said, "You can see what I believed and what my family believed by looking at our lives. My dad marched with Martin Luther King. My mom was a tireless crusader for civil rights." A few days after the appearance, The Boston Phoenix reported that they could not find any record of a march that featured both King and Romney.
Romney has since walked back his statements, suggesting that when he said he "saw" his father march with King he meant it as a "figure of speech."

With his shit-eating grin and dweebish body language...just icky!

Even the hand-picked crowd behind him didn't know what to make of it!

I was wondering why we were getting all the hot air despite the temperatures in the 50s.
