Romney's in the doghouse with some voters

By Scot Lehigh | June 29, 2007

One: Poor Seamus Romney.

And: Does a vacuum periodically settle in between the ears
of the Mighty Mighty Mittster, rather like one of those low-
pressure areas that sometimes stalls for days on end over
New England?

Seamus was the Romneys' former mutt -- ah, actually, make
that a distinguished canine gentleman of Irish extraction
-- who, we learned on Wednesday, found himself ignominiously
placed in a carrier atop the family station wagon back in 1983
as the Romneys embarked on a 12-hour drive to a vacation
home Mitt's parents had on Lake Huron.

And who, really, can blame Seamus, riding up there alone and
forgotten, eyeing each approaching overpass and anxiously
wondering if Mitt had calculated the clearances correctly,
while the rest of the Romneys were safely ensconced in the
vehicle below, no doubt whiling away the hours with joyous
renditions of "This land is your land, this land is my land"?

-snip-

If the rooftop ride really was such a smart solution, at the
very least Mitt could have taken a turn up there himself.
Certainly he's proved resolute in the face of risk, at least
in the business world, and I have it on good report that the
hair product he uses is guaranteed to hold fast in gusts of
up to 70 miles an hour.
