Puckish Russian Offers Romney a Plane Whose Windows Open

iStockphoto/Thinkstock(MOSCOW) — After Mitt Romney joked that “the windows don’t open” on Ann Romney’s plane, which filled with smoke last Friday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin offered to send her a replacement: the AN-2, an old Soviet biplane which had a notoriously dubious safety record.
“No problem! We’ll send our AN-2 to Romney’s campaign headquarters,” Rogozin wrote on Facebook last night.
“Not only do the windows not close, but the doors sometimes swing open mid-flight. On the plus side, there’s fresh air to breathe, and you can take in the nature,” he added.
On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday night, Ann Romney said the “window” comment was a joke meant to make light of how worried Gov. Romney was about his wife.
