Take Action: Call PETA RIGHT NOW!!



Romney takes his dog for a ride, on the top of his car
Many blogs including my own reported back in 2007 that Mitt Romney once locked his dog in a kennel and strapped it to the top of his car. Nothing politically incorrect here. But definitely inhumane. A member of the media brought this issue back up to Romney.

C&L:

According to a 2007 Boston Globe profile of the candidate, Romney's oldest son, Tagg, yelled, "Gross!" as he noticed a brown liquid flowing down the back window from the Irish Setter Seamus, who had been riding on car's roof for hours.

"As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station," the Globe noted. "There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management."

On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal asked Romney to respond to New York Times' Gail Collins, who had recently revived the old story.

"Uh...," Romney said, clearly caught off guard by the question. "Love my dog."

"That’s all I’ve got for ya."

Apparently Santorum thinks it's okay to marry a dog(or whatever)...it's the whatever that has me a bit concerned. If you want to marry a dog...please don't consummate the marriage.



Santorum: ... In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —

AP: I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about "man on dog" with a United States senator, it's sort of freaking me out.
