41. Yes, and those bank accounts in the Caymans?
|
The Romneys only kept their money in the Cayman Islands because
all of the Romneys suffer from seasonal affective disorder--and counting their hundreds of millions in a sunnier climate was therapeutic. And strapping his dog to the roof of his car? That was a very controlled systematic desensitization therapy, whereby the dog would gradually become less fearful of wide-open spaces. Oh, these crazy Romneys!! |
