Oh Mitt. Mitt, Mitt, Mitt. People don’t care for you one whit, Mitt. Your ratings are taking a hit, Mitt. You’re just not fit, Mitt. Quit, Mitt. Split, Mitt. Pack up your bags, your family and your dog and git, Mitt.
Just, when you’re loading the dog, DON’T TIE HIM TO THE DAMN ROOF, Mitt, you twit!
Usually I have no use for stories about candidates and their families that don’t directly relate to the issues. Sometimes, though, someone does something so spectacularly, vividly stupid and cruel that you just can’t help but figure it into their candidate profile. While it may not directly indicate their stances on issues, it makes you wonder if they have the mental capacity and common decency to hold the highest public office in the land.
My criteria for deciding what extraneous behavior ought to be figured in is pretty strict and, up to now, I never thought it would include, “Anything that resembles something seen in any National Lampoon movie.”
Because of you, Mitt, you twit, now I have to add it.
Shit.

I can’t decide which is more stupid; strapping your dog to the top of your car or telling people about it (especially if you hope to be the leader of the free world someday). What a dope.
Either way, it’s a definite black mark against any aspiring presidential hopeful. I mean, that poor dog. I wouldn’t have just shit all over his car. The second that cage door was open I would have gone for his eyes, throat and balls, in that order.
lol… and please don’t think I’m excusing his cruelty. Not at all. It makes me sick.
*sigh*
Why do people have it so in for those poor Mormons?
It’s OBVIOUS to me that the Romneys were hoping to be picked up by their spaceship on the way to that planet where God is waiting for them in corporeal form. And we all know that pets are put on flights before people. Hence, the roof.
‘natch.
“Usually I have no use for stories about candidates and their families that don’t directly relate to the issues.”
Does that go for Elizabeth Edwards, too?

About Mitt — well, he wasn’t getting my vote, anyway — so this story does nothing for me but induce an episode of schadenfreude on behalf of his campaign workers …
Ah, but the Elizabeth Edwards story does indeed relate directly to the issues as she herself made it an issue. Had she simply got out there in one of her speaking engagements and said, “We must elevate the level of political discourse in our country,” then there would have been no problems and she would have been unmitigatedly right. To call into a national news talk show to get into a verbal slap fight with the odious Stick Figure to manufacture drama and then profit from it means the door is opened.

[...] Mitt Romney as a young man was smokin’ hot (but apparently not so bright). Even now I think he is quite handsome in a distinguished way. He just looks presidential (or like an actor who should play the President on TV). He’d never get my vote but I wouldn’t have kicked him out of my bed (I’m being shallow here, I know, but I’m so good at it). [...]
