Yesterday’s Boston Globe report that Mitt Romney once strapped his dog to the top of a station wagon for a twelve hour car ride, during which the thing that the bumper stickers say “happens” in fact did, is getting much attention around the blogosphere.
Ana Marie Cox attributes the behavior to Rommey’s Mormonism although, to be honest, I’m pretty sure this is not a widespread practice among that faith.
Fontana Labs concludes that Romney is an orifice that, along with opinions, everyone has and which his dog made use of during the incident in question.
Steve Bainbridge avows that “there is now no set of circumstances under which I’ll be voting for Romney. Sam and Toby would never forgive me.”
In Romney’s defense, however, I’d note that the incident took place over twenty-five years ago. Goodness knows, his views on dog travel have certainly changed half a dozen times in the interim.
