Bennett Says Romney Compared Tea Party to Ferret
Fox News ^ | August 23, 2012 | By Todd Starnes

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.

>>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.<<

Isn’t school back in session yet?

The title you created:

" Romney: Tea Party Like Frightened, Angry Ferret "

had to be replaced with the original published title found at the source.

To avoid duplication and pulled threads, please only use the published title.

Also you omitted the author's name and that has now been added.

Thanks.

Is a dog on the roof better than a ferret in a dishwasher?

This sounds like another planted story by the White House.

Isn’t it something.

The pro Obama people post something and the anti Romney people get all excited, posting about how they would never vote for Romney.

The anti Romney people post how they will never vote for Romney and the pro Obama people post something about never voting for Romney.

It’s as if they’re on the same team.

Well, Mitt, if you get elected, those angry ferrets that take over the House and Senate are going to keep your sorry, moderate ass in line.

I hope you’re right, because if not there will be no second chances.

At this point, there is only one thing that matters to me... getting that bastard Obama out of our White House.

Someone could show me photos of Romney eating live puppies in bed at a whore house, and nothing will change—OBAMA MUST GO!

“It’s as if they’re on the same team.”


I thought Jim was pretty clear that this wasn’t a GOP website, but a conservative one. I’ve seen nothing to suggest that I’m supposed to lie and claim Mitt Romney isn’t a mush, pathological liar and progressive. That’s your job.

well you're half right, which I imagine is a helluva better batting average then you are used to. Oh wait, scratch that. Since you felt the need to capitalize 'Lost,' you aren't right at all. Unless of course you are the TV show writing in. In which case your highly convolutedness was entertaining.

Was.

You’ve been lost since you got here.

Well at least you’ve moved on from complaining about Ann Romney’s expensive horse and how much money Mitt Romney earns.
