DAVIE, FLORIDA - Oh the humanity! Sorry, every reporter wants to say that. It's a journalist thing ...
Anyway, a blimp bearing a big ad for Republican presidential hopeful and aeronautical designer Mitt Romney crashed in a south Florida field Sunday night. Neither occupant was injured.
The hot air blimp bears a picture of Romney and the words, "America Needs Romney." Coincidentally, it was flying from Boca Raton, the site of tonight's final presidential debate, to Pembroke Pines, Florida. However, just five miles short of its destination, the blimp encountered high winds. So, within sight of its goal, the big gas bag, full of hot air and bearing Romney's face and name, suddenly plummeted in the kind of last minute catastrophe dreamed about by every die hard Democrat.
Witnesses on the ground who saw the blimp dip below the tree line initially assumed that Romney was merely engaging in more of the invasive campaigning that has marked the 2012 election.
"I thought 'Boy! Mitt Romney really wants us to vote for him,'" nearby resident Terri Balter said to a TV news crew.
The blimp flew backward into the ground, striking tail first. Then it rolled on its side and went completely flaccid. The airship has already been gathered up and carried to Pembroke. It is not anticipated that the Romney campaign will have any trouble producing enough hot air to relaunch the vehicle.
Democratic President and illegal immigrant Barrack Obama declined to comment on the fact that Republicans continue to employ an unreliable vehicle that is more than 60 years behind the times.
