Yesterday, Mitt told Pittsburgh reporters that Seamus the Setter "loved" his 12 hour open-air thrill ride on top of the family station wagon and that he "liked fresh air." If all the Romneys express their love for fresh air the same way as Seamus, I think his administration might have a more immediate enivornmental pollution problem than global warming on its, uhm, hands.
Also this explains why the Gov has no problem with waterboarding, no matter if the detainees react in a similar Seamus-ian way. It's like a refreshing swim!
RELATED: The Romney family pets turn to God in their our of need...
[T]he whole incident did answer one question for me. Reading another Globe profile of Mitt back in 1994, I learned that one of the Romney family's 1980s routines had been to gather in Mitt and Ann's bedroom each night to say their prayers together. Another family dog from that era, a yellow Labrador named McKenzie, would join them, putting her paws up on the bed in mock prayer, Ann told the Globe. What was McKenzie praying for?
A flea collar? No, not a dog of her preppy pedigree.
Perhaps as simple a blessing as a pat on the head from Ann?
Or maybe just a delicious dog biscuit before bed?
It has long been a mystery, but now I think I know.
"Please, please, please, oh Lord, render my master too busy with business to take a vacation this summer."
Note: Cows get a bad rap too from environmentalists. Their manure-derived methane could be very useful in generating electricity, while the her burp is what's causing problems (some experts (?)claim)contributing to global warming.
Why am I reminded of Clark Griswald????
Romney, the little RINO-dictator, also thinks the little
people in Mass. like his “gifts” of gay marriage,
secret pseudo-police, Big Dig unaccountability,
RomneyCARE=HillaryCARE, and loss of voting rights.
In our town we have a thing called a library. You should check to see if there is one in your town.
With good reason.
This is an obvious hit piece but I would never think of subjecting one of my dogs to this.
If I even brought it up in jest my wife would give me that look.
So what was Romney thinking (Or not) pulling a stunt like this? For someone who is in the Media limelight (To an extent) why would he pull such boner. He just slipped down a notch on the ladder of one being considered for the nomination.
Or in Marges words
"Homer, what were you thinking?"
obvious hit piece.
and your POV is understandable... but we are talking about an incident that occurred over 20 years ago... and it’s not over cocaine abuse, the Vietnam war or a dwi....
It was 24 years ago.
I heard the story in passing on the radio, I had no idea it was 24 years ago, they made it seem as though it was last week!
Unacceptable and stupid to pull something like this regardless of when.
That said, why don't they go talk to his babysitter when he was 5 and tried to get a little kiss?
I know I did.
| If he would do that to his dog, imagine what he would do to people in middle and lower class America. Oh wait, they'd probably be relegated to the trunk. Posted by: sandpiper | Jun 28, 2007 9:31:54 AM Um, it's not safer, the strap could have been undone. Having the dogs head a half a foot out the window is not that dangerous. Not to mention it probably scared the dog. I'm sure Romney could afford a vehicle large enough to allow the dog crate to ride safely inside the vehicle. How stupid. I am speechless. He's not getting my vote. So what's wrong with that? He probably got the idea from one of those Chevy Chase Vacation movies. They thought enough of their beloved pet to take him along. His critics will make it sound like Seamus was tied to the rear bumper. At least he had the full protection of the carrier. Give this poor family some credit. The weather could pose a problem between September 1 and August 25, in which case Seamus would need earmuffs and mitts. Maybe he should get Michael Vick as a running mate ? "that alone should have been sufficient indication that the dog was, basically, being tortured," Tortured? i see now why the liberals are crying about us torturing prisoners, they have no idea what so ever what the word means. Tortured? come on.... What the heck is wrong with you people?! Everday I see semi-trucks full of cattle and pigs going down the highway in containers very similar to over sized pet carriers. These trucks are goings many hundreds of miles in all weather conditions, including the dead of winter! Why don't you boycott the beef and pork industry?! |
The responses can be better than the story itself.
What’s wrong with that shepherd’s head?
When the new Cafe law goes into effect we will have to put the kids on the roof. There wont be room in the car.
This is the lowest crap I have yet seen on FR. You guys have hit rock bottom.
It's an old family story told by his son, even though the time-line of the initial story was conveniently left in 'a murmur', which in addition some Libs have turned into animal abuse, etc..this was to show the idiocy of it all; and should you read in the entirety, you will understand such, I believe.
For instance: Post #13 ..comments taken from a Left leaning web site where some logical heads do prevail despite slurs on Mitt's religion, etc.
Thanks
Time has turned into a gossip mag, I see.
At least Mitt didn't forget he tied the dog to the bumper! LOL.Romney's explanation yesterday: "He scrambled up there every time we went on trips. He got in all by himself and enjoyed it."
ROFLMAO
