“It seems that Europe leads Americans in this way of thinking,” Romney told the crowd of more than 5,000. “In France, for instance, I’m told that marriage is now frequently contracted in seven-year terms where either party may move on when their term is up. How shallow and how different from the Europe of the past.”
Well, it turns out that maybe he doesn't watch French sex romps. He just reads more crappy science fiction:
While this is not true in any way, seven-year marriage contracts are a humorous feature of neo-con sci-fi author Orson Scott Card’s book The Memory of Earth, which is itself a science-fictionalization of The Book of Mormon. (Wonkette)

Not unlike Hatch learning about global warming from Creighton.
Who knew that fiction writers were so wonderful sources for scholarly study.
What a f*****g joke.
Kind of amusing that Wonkette would describe Card as a "neo-con." Card may be a war-monger on the Middle-East, but when it comes to economic issues, he's virtually a socialist (which isn't a slur in my book).
and "Battlefield Earth" is his favorite book; at least he knows it's fiction... Oh! NO!
