Why Romney's 'dog on car roof' story makes him unfit to be president
By Lanny Davis

......................

During the trip, the Boston Globe reported, Romney’s oldest son, Tagg, looked around through the rear window and yelled, “Dad — gross!” A brown liquid was dripping down the back window — diarrhea from an animal that just might have been caused by the stress of being inside a cage for 12 hours on top of a car going 60 mph.

.................................

Here’s how the Globe described what Romney then did:

“As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.”
Emotion-free crisis management??!

Here’s one dog lover’s opinion — mine:

I think anyone who puts his dog in a cage on top of a car for a 12-hour drive and then deludes himself or tries to delude others that the dog really enjoyed it — to me, with all due respect, I feel such a man shouldn’t be president of the United States.

1. I heard this on Bill Maher

Plutonized or something to that affect. ...but really ...you know I despise fox links....Okay ....so let me try and figure this all out.....sounds like the concept will have legs... I'll watch Bill Maher again. I love Rob Reiner.

3. This story was reported by the Boston Globe and picked up by Time magazine four years ago. NT

[FarPoint]

9. It's certainly worth repeating.

Thank you for the details because I never heard it and was puzzled by the Pluto reference on Bil Maher. Jeeze thats awful.....

[MADem]

11. I repeat it early and often!

[Peregrine Took]

15. Me, too. n/t

5. Not only unfit for President....

unfit to be a member of the human race.
That smirky, creepy laugh he has when queried about this incident is off the charts too.
His "yuk" factor is 100% in my book.
What's with Mrs. Romney in all this? If my husband tried to do this shit, there would be a scene (and I would win) or there would be a divorce.

6. Considering most people treat animals better than humans, imagine how Mittens treats people

That is not a leader.

7. Better if this weren't coming for the lawyer extraordinaire for sadistic African dictators...

though I'm nonetheless glad the story is getting revisited. Cruel and clueless-- a really bad combination.

[AtomicKitten]

8. I don't care what Lanny Davis has to say.

During the Dem primary in 2008 he revealed himself to be an epic douche, and I will not high-five him even if he's right on this. Ugh.

[MADem]

12. Enemy of thine enemy, and all that...! nt

[undeterred]

13. He has the spectacular lack of empathy that marks a true and exemplary Republican leader.

He's not fit from our point of view, but from their point of view he's perfect. And notice that his children objected- indicating that they were born with empathy, but by now its probably been brutalized out of them.

14. Emotion-free... like a sociopath, err.. nt

[meti57b]

16. You can also count quite a a few cat lovers in agreement..........

with the pooch people!

[pamela]

17. Corporations are people. Animals are luggage.

Romney's a cold bastard.

[bdamomma]

18. ...........

God what a stupid sick man doing that to an animal, a beautiful dog too. He doesn't seem to be too worried about the incident either.

[Crankie Avalon]

19. Jeez, even Hitler was nice to his dog.

[LeftishBrit]

20. I agree; at the very best, it makes him utterly irresponsible
