My great-grandmother replied thusly: "Heavens, no - he drank!"

Those are the rules I've just made up.

We've spent the whole campaign wondering what a Romney administration would look like - well, folks, this is it. Your health and safety will come second to the interests of businesses.

That is a big fucking deal, and he's just lucky that it came out the same week Sandy hit.
