Romney Talks Sarah Palin with Jay Leno: “Did you See what She Did to the Halibut?”

Here is video of Mitt Romney on with Jay Leno last night where he discussed Sarah Palin with Leno. Romney called Palin a “qualified, capable person” who is influential “in my party.”

Leno asked Romney as a former Governor if could have ever envisioned himself “quitting” during his term as Governor the way Sarah Palin did. Romney responded that, “No” he could not, because he “loved the job” of being Governor. “But she had her reasons,” he said.

Romney closed his remarks about Palin by saying there is not way he is going to say anything negative about Palin because: “Did you see what she did to the Halibut on her show the other night? I’m not in for that.”

It’s pretty obvious there is very little doubt that Romney is running in 2012.

I agree.

If he is going to get all icky about banging a fish on the head with a large stick, than no thanks! You have to do a hell of a lot worse than that if you are going to be Commander of the Armed Forces. It makes me shudder when I have to admit that Obama is the current Commander of the Armed Forces! God help us!

According to a formal TSA gate agent report, Sarah has way bigger balls than lil' mitty.

Mitt is just a smarmy pussy and there is no way to defend his role in taxachewshits health insurance debacle.

Don't you just love how the libs whitewash everything?!

She “quit” because she was tired of wasting the taxpayers time and money fighting fraudulent lawsuits and claims being brought against her by libs like Leno! She didn’t just “quit” because she got tired of the job. But as is typical, why should a liberal shill like Leno care about the facts.

Romney knew exactly what he was facing in that interview with liberal Leno. He was coached by his team, and probably thinks that he did well. He got "face time", and appeared to rise above Leno's sleazy questions while at the same time actually welcoming them.

All in all, he and his advisors are likely congratulating themselves, because the audience that watches Leno hates Sarah. He and Leno conspired against Sarah in a most revolting way.

I was in MA when Romney served his ‘full term’ and that was a joke. He spent his last two years ramping up for his ‘08 run. Was mostly out of state, raising money and building up chits. The sickly state GOP probably withered more pathetically under Romney’s supposed watch than at any time in the last half century. He largely did the Democrats’ work and bidding, mostly nominating Democrat judges while he was there.

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly - they may, in fact, be illegal. Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon. "An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer, Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck, and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch? - Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip - "Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog,".. Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for"

"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon. Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. [like the citizens under Romney's RomneyCARE, etc.?] "

"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind 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. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway."

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse? - Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. .David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog. "It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently, in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever for the suffering that the solution may cause."

Exactly. She knew that if she remained as Governor, the entire legislative agenda would be held hostage to the endless, frivolous ethics charges being brought against her by political enemies. Palin refused to let that happen. They also had to have the resources to defend themselves against all the lawsuits being brought against her as well.

Interesting....I never knew this about Mitt Moron. It’s amazing that people with some intelligence and positions of stature can be so moronic. It says alot about there decision making process doesn’t it?

“Did you see what she did to the Halibut on her show the other night? I’m not in for that.”

Seriously, could you see Romney, Kerry, or even the Incompetent in Chief ever trying to stun a halibut, or even stand nearby when it was done? I have no doubt they'd behave like the wusses they are. you could see Kerry trying to do it while remaining dainty, little fingers up. They are more concerned with their haircuts and fingernails.
