AP Is Reporting That The Seven Romney Boys Are All Applying For Deferments

Said the oldest, Tragg, "Remember the Sulliavans (the seven brothers all lost on a Destroyer in WWII)?"

"We want to do the same thing.....except sort of backwards. See they all died for our nation and we don't want to die for our nation!"

Said proud Momma, Ann, "Those zany boys! I told them a Mormon Mission was just as good - but they wanted to go 'whole hog' amd just get that extra protective insurance of deferments that my brave husband got during Vietnam - 8 Times!"

"Yes. We are very proud."

When a reporter informed youngest brother, Biff, that there hasn't been a draft or deferments in 40 years, he just kind of shrugged.
