Mitt Romney Is Now Involved in a Rap Beef

Are you sitting? Because this is amazing. We knew Mitt Romney had gotten into a confrontation on a flight from Vancouver earlier this week after he asked a fellow passenger to return his seat to the upright position. What we didn’t know until now is that the passenger — who became “physically violent” and was removed from the flight before takeoff — was Sky Blu of the “electro-hop” group LMFAO (which you may know from the Jersey Shore opening-credits song, or, just from a general awareness of current music). As Sky explains things, he would have gladly corrected the angle of his seat had Romney not asked in such a “hostile” manner. In fact, Sky says, it was Romney who initiated physical contact by grabbing his shoulder with a “condor grip.” Watch Sky retell the whole amazing story in what we think is his underwear, and thank the Fates that they have allowed this to transpire.
