1. I can't understand why this good looking guy would feel threatened by Romney...
|
He obviously has a lot more personality as well.

2. There is a lot of joking about this story.
|
We take domestic violence entirely too lightly. All violence, really. I'm just glad there apparently weren't any kids around to see it.

3. You're absolutely right, on all points.
|
I do think the joke is that the guy couldn't identify Romney. Not his actions following it.

5. Oh yes, definitely.
|
I guess the fact that he flew into a violent rage over it just hits a nerve with me. It's hard for me to see any humor in those situations.
