Seamus Story Paints a Picture of Mitt

TIME:"Well, what do you think of it?"

Gingrich: "Well, I just, you know, I'd rather not have been in the kennel all the way to Canada. Personally doesn't strike me as a very good thing to have done. But that's just my personal bias, you know....

"I think that there are many characteristics that come out in the course of a presidential campaign. From the use of words, like 'I like firing people' — which didn't mean he liked firing people but he said, 'I like firing people,' which sounds like I like firing people even though it wasn't — to putting a dog on the top of a car for nine hours. All these different things paint a picture. All of us have pictures. And the governor has to figure out whether or not that picture is electable.

With respect, I don't think a picture of Newt in a kennel is electable.

1. Guess Newt doesn't know about how the dog pooped and it ran down

the back window and the kids started screaming. Mittens had to get out an hose it off. (per
son, in this month's Vanity Fair)

I can't just imagine anal Mittens getting all bent out of shape with that one. Poor
kids probably wanted to laugh their asses off and he got all bossy uptight.

2. Impossible. Mitt said it was an 'Airtight' kennel.

I believe in Mitt. Especially as Republican nominee.

5. He actually said 'airtight',

which I presumed it meant the kennel had no open grill. Actually, Vanity Fair says Mitt put up a windshield.

3. p.s. I know from my dog that he would have to be in very dire need to do that one. Dogs

can hold for a long time. The son said Mitt only would stop twice for gas on the trip from Boston to
Ontario. Poor pup
