EPU’d from me on prior thread:
This thing about Mutt Romney–I’m sorry but my mental image is of a dog with his head out the window, times 2 or 3 enjoyments on top of the car. But then I don’t have a dog. I’m a cat person and today’s NYT story has the following insight:

Unlike other domestic animals, which were tamed by people, cats probably domesticated themselves, which could account for the haughty independence of their descendants.

I just have a hard time seeing diarrhea as an expression of canine enjoyment…

KO just covered how the Rs seem to like torturing animals using this story as the jump-off. Included Frist killing cats for “medical research” and Judi Nathan Giuliani using dogs for medical device demonstrations.

(I actually blogged that cat domestication story at my own place…)

According to the Boston Globe the Romney’s yellow lab would say bed time prayers with the family. Speculation on the journalist part was the dog was praying for them not to go on vacation.

OK
You gotta read Scott Leheigh’s column in the Glob today. Just a piece:

FOR THE LAST few mornings, I’ve lingered over the breakfast table, reading all about Mitt Romney, from his Michigan boyhood to his boffo business career to his determined days as chief of the 2002 Winter Olympics.

And what do I come away thinking?
One: Poor Seamus Romney.
And: Does a vacuum periodically settle in between the ears of the Mighty Mighty Mittster, rather like one of those low-pressure areas that sometimes stalls for days on end over New England?
Seamus was the Romneys’ former mutt — ah, actually, make that a distinguished canine gentleman of Irish extraction — who, we learned on Wednesday, found himself ignominiously placed in a carrier atop the family station wagon back in 1983 as the Romneys embarked on a 12-hour drive to a vacation home Mitt’s parents had on Lake Huron.
Now, Mitt had apparently rigged up some sort of windshield for the carrier. And the trip was made during the summer, so I suppose it’s not exactly the equivalent of the long frosty December ride in an open carriage that supposedly nosed Beethoven toward his final decline.

Read on . . .

If it had been Dubya, he would have insisted the shit was chocolate and threatened to fight anyone who tried to clean it up. Five years later, after it was good and caked on (and after adding some more of his own), he would finally sell the car and the dog to a Democrat “as is” - possibly after setting them on fire.

wow, that had me laughing out loud…in a very sad way

god help the democratic president that has to clean up after these maggots

that’s IF we don’t attack Iran and IF they don’t envoke marshal law, suspend congress, senate and elections

if

he also claimed that the helpless victim totally loved the idea

’s dog home syndrome

I assume he mentioned Dubya and frogs, right?

And Rudy’s current wife performed vivisection on dogs for marketing demonstrations. Anyone in the GOP or who calls themselves a republican is seriously disturbed. How did we become a country full of so many unbalanced people? Do we have too much lead in the bottled water or something?

The obvious follow-up question is: did the dog scramble up there _after_ that trip?

Mitt’s setter set forth a stream of shit stew down the station wagon windows.

Ut Oh Mitt… looks like your campaign’s horizons are streaked in brown.

I had a sheltie mix that loved to stick her head out the window and ride like that but not when I was driving 65-70 mph for long distances. Then, she curled up in the seat next to me and slept.

Now, my last two cats have just slept, once we got to the highway and I opened the carrier to let ‘em out.

It is really laughable, what the Goopers are fielding this cycle! They all have achilles heels that needs hip surgery to ease the pain!!! Right On, Eli!!! OT-MM on LK, discussing ‘Sicko’ *g*

Willard WAS leading in NH. Somehow I think that the dog owners in NH aren’t gonna like this much. They may not care about doubling Gitmo but they love their dogs.

My Mass friends hate Romney even more than my NY friends hate Rudy (and it’s hard to believe that’s possible).

when Pooch comes to shove…

And if it had been Cheney he’d have shot the dog and perhaps everyone in the station wagon for complaining.

But wouldn’t it make more sense to just rent an Irish Setter when you get to where you’re going, rather than keeping one on the roof of your car for 12 hours? It just seems so inefficient.

Mitt said that his dog liked it and jumped up on the roof of a station wagon into the carrier all by himself. Somehow I’m having trouble believing that.

Agreed. A whole lot of hunters and country folks who deal with their dogs every day will not look kindly on this treatment of a dog.

what bothered me most was that the kids complained about the stuff running down the back window - not that they were complaining about the dog being up there in the first place. Well that and, he named his eldest son Tagg - as in Tagg, you’re it? What’s up with that?

Once we got some firecrackers and tried to blow up a yellowjacket nest- my best friend Paul got stung on the dick. It was funny- in a painful kinda way….

Did anyone else blow up any frogs?

So what happened to the dog at the end? Might be interesting to find out how long he lived & how he died.

I have a different take on this story. I think it’s hysterical. Not that I would ever do such a thing to my dog. Actually, I’d put the luggage on top and the dog in the car. But, hey, that’s just me.
But, I have to admit that this story makes me laugh. Not because of that poor dog, but because it makes Mitt look like a doofus. Who the hell would do such a thing??? Put your dog on top of the car for 17 hrs? C’mon, he’s got to be an idiot.

Shrub went to ME for the holiday to spend it with Dad and Babs and Putie. Trust that the compound at Kennebunkport will be well guarded so that no one sees his drinking antics.

I kinda have a different take on this story too. Apparently Mitt’s son told this story to a journalist, thinking it was funny and made his dad look like a person with aplomb or something, calmly hosing dog shit off the car. Now I just feel sorry for the the son, having caused such an uproar and problems for his dad’s campaign. I feel sorry for the dog, too, of course. But the son probably feels like, well, he probably feels like dog shit right now.
