By Todd Starnes Former U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett said Mitt Romney once compared the Tea Party to a ferret
Bennett was a three-term senator from Utah who was ousted at the state’s GOP convention by conservatives.
The Time story recounts a conversation between Bennett said Romney shortly after his ouster.
He said Romney related what he believed to be an apocryphal story about getting bitten by a ferret he had tried to rescue from a dishwasher.
“Mitt said the Tea party people are like that ferret in the dishwasher,” he said in the Time Magazine report. “They’re so frightened and angry, they’ll even bite Bob Bennett, who’s trying to get the country out of this mess.”
The story was adapted from “The New New Deal,” a book written by Michael Grunwald.
Bennett’s office did not respond to calls seeking comment.
Romney campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul did not confirm or deny Romney made the comments.

Just remember Bob, there’s nothing as dangerous as a cornered animal.
Who cares?
Did you see that TMZ got a picture of Paul Ryan’s abs?
I’m voting for the Abs.
So whether he is or not did he tell the truth about what Romney said?
That is the issue.
Nice try Obot. But I say this story is a lie. Prove me wrong. But that right, you cannot because it is all hear say and rumor
lol!
Can’t really argue. I definitely have days when I feel like an angry ferret.
Bunch of us weasels planning to attack the first week in November.
Interesting Romney’s decades of liberalism means nothing but a single statement from a pro-life conservative man is the topic of discussion.
I bet you’re supporting Obama by trying to get rid of Akin. Changing your name to JBama2012 would fit.
But let not bother with facts let just go into hysterics about every big of disinformation the Obot media throws at us instead.

I will never vote for that socialist. I will vote for Ryan. Romney better watch his mouth. I don’t think he is worth a damn, really. He is close to defeat. 12% of us love Ron Paul. 37% of us are tea party. He better get on his mormon kness or he is gone like McAmnesty and Bush the geezer.
Good grief. Is there a picture for *everything* on the internet? Weasels are weasels. Ferrets are cute (although they can be a little mouthy).
“stuff it down Barry’s pants”
I think he and barny prefer gerbils.
Grunwald was on CSpan with his ‘New New Deal’ book. Man, you wouldn’t believe how Obama SAVED this nation according to him. I call BS!
To any ‘Progressive’ out there, the reason there were massive layoffs AFTER the election of Obama and the reason for the malaise in this nation is We Saw You Coming!
We Know Who You Are.
Thanks for your input NhNoNuts
Yeah there the ticket, let us just blindly accept the word of a Obama propaganda bot at Time Magazine with no verifiable sources to back up his claim You people are the useful idiots of the Democrat propaganda machine. What ever they spew, you mindlessly regurgitate without bothering to think about it for even 1 second.
Sounds like a good tagline.

Exactly... New Tag Line!
