With only 60 million dog owners in the US, this won't be a problem

There's no other way to describe this other than sadist.

Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. He'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog [...]

As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.

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.


(h/t)

Look, we already know that Romney doesn't think impersonating a police officer is a crime, why would he think animal cruelty is one?

Also, say what you will about George Bush, but when he tortures his dogs, at least he does it by accident. This guy apparently has pre-meditated plans of sadomasochism.
