As Bart at Bartcop points out, Romney once told the story of putting his Irish Setter Seamus in a crate tied to the roof of his station wagon for a 10-hour drive as a way to make himself seem more human to voters. The man actually chuckled over this horrendous anecdote. Uh huh, good times, Mitt, especially for your terrified pooch. Was Romney seriously thinking, “Yeah, this folksy tale will get me in good with the dog lovers out there”?
As Melinda Pillsbury-Foster’s possibly ironic presidential campaign said in a press release Jan. 14, 2012
NEWS RELEASE
Pillsbury-Foster Presidential Campaign
Pillsbury-Foster for President
pillsbury-foster4president@gmail.comMeow-Meow, animal companion to Arthur Foster, eldest son of Democratic candidate for president, Melinda Pillsbury-Foster, today called for Mitt Romney to be strapped to the roof of the car for a trip to the dog house.
While Meow-Meow, an orange tabby, also known as M&M, is not overly fond of dogs he called all species to move for solidarity on this issue of outrageous cruelty. M&M pointed out the heinous act included washing the Romney animal hostage down with water when he could not hold himself and then, ignoring the wind-chill factor, returning Seamus to the POW camp on the roof of the car.
At the same time M&M, calling for an investigation by a to-be-called pack of senators, averred that Romney should not be spayed until or unless there is a second incident.
