If Mitt Romney Can't Be President Maybe He Can Be a Flight Attendant

An unruly passenger picked a fight with the wrong guy:

Former Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was physically threatened by a passenger on an Air Canada flight leaving Vancouver, Monday morning, his spokesman told Fox News.

The incident was apparently sparked when a man sitting in front of Romney's wife, Ann, in the economy section of the plane dropped his seat back prior to take-off.

The passenger became "physically violent" when Romney asked the man to move his seat upright for take-off, apparently trying to hit the 62-year-old.

Romney's spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said: "Governor Romney did not retaliate."

After hearing of the incident, the pilot returned the plane to the gate and had the passenger and his bags removed.

No one appeared to be injured in the incident.

The former governor and his wife were in Vancouver for the opening of the Olympic Winter Games.

I'll bet Romney can't wait until he gets Secret Service protection...and his own airplane.
