Romney Staffer Fired for Using Candidate as Coat Rack 1-15-2008, Detroit--A staffer at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Michigan campaign headquarters was fired after carelessly tossing her coat over Romney's head. "I thought he was a statue, or a mannequin," the distraught now-former staffer explained. "He was so stiff." Romney, campaigning throughout the state in an effort to garner votes for today's primary, had stopped in for a surprise visit. "At first I thought he was one of those Fathead posters," said the fired staffer. A Romney spokesperson said this wasn't the first blunder by the same staffer. "A couple of weeks ago, she had five thousand 'Knute Romney For President!' posters printed up. Now this." Asked if firing the woman was too harsh a penalty, the spokesperson cited Romney's "three strikes and you're out" policy. And what was "strike three"? "Probably the fathead comment," the spokesperson said, adding, "But do you have any idea how long it took to fix his hair?" |
