He's just like you, except everyone he knows is
really, really rich. And own sports teams.

Mitt Romney's connecting with the little people again. The egregiously softball question asked of Mitt was
where NFL quarterback Peyton Manning should go:
ROMNEY: [...] I don’t want him in our neck of the woods, lets put it that way, I don’t want him to go to Miami or to the Jets. But I’ve got a lot of good friends, the owner Miami Dolphins, and the New York Jets — both owners are friends of mine. But let’s keep him away from New England, so that Tom Brady has a better shot of picking up a championship for us.
"Yes! I also enjoy sporting competitions! My friends and I like to purchase and sell teams. NASCAR teams, NFL teams ... you know. Sporting things. Why, one of my friends is attempting to start a new sporting event that combines football with yacht racing. The end zones shall be New York and the white cliffs of Dover, and we shall each place wagers of ten thousand dollars on the outcome."
Sigh. Mitt Romney may not be in touch with the experiences of the average American, but at least he likely knows somebody who owns the franchise for providing those experiences. You can really see why he picked up that coveted Donald Trump endorsement.
