A long time ago, but in this very galaxy, Mitt Romney took his family on a long trip in a station wagon. There wasn't room for the dog, Seamus, so this paragon of wit and virtue decided to put the dog on top of the station wagon in a carrier.
The dog was miserable and ill and got diarrhea which dripped down the back window. When one of the kids pointed this out, the Mittster, pulled over in a filling station and hosed the dog and the car off.
This was something like a ten or eleven hour journey. When they arrived at the destination, Seamus escaped into the wild, planning revenge.
He's had it!
