In reply to the discussion: Romney’s Super Fan Loses His Truck in a Fire [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)31. Check this out.. it might have been a bit of lighted ta-backy from his pipe.
On the trail, Mr. Wilson lives sparingly. Whenever possible, he stays at a Motel 6 because its inexpensive and the chain lets him to smoke in his room, unlike the Marriott hotels that Mr. Romney favors. Theyre Mormons he said of the Marriott family. Thats fine. He subsists on raw almonds, sliced deli meat, yogurt and Diet Coke, which he stores in coolers in the truck bed.
...His truck is about to hit the 300,000-mile mark and could use a few repairs. There is an oil leak. Even so, he is gearing up for his longest drive yet, a 38-hour trek from Virginia to California, where Mr. Romney will make an appearance on Memorial Day.

Glad he's okay. I guess the oil leak doesn't need to be fixed now, though! n/t

Those pharmaceuticals he was picking up may have been a contributing factor. :) nt

Since Romney denounced firefighters across the country - are they just gonna let it burn?

Most likely, Rmoney did a risk/reward analysis on Jim's situation. Jim, driving around like a fool

Goper Jim just fell onto the safety net -- unless he is so stupid that he cut a hole in it. n/t
