Ann Romney explains dog on roof: ‘He had the runs’

“The dog loved it,” she said. “Once, he — we traveled all the time and he — he ate the turkey on the counter. I mean, he had the runs.”

“But — he would see that crate and, you know, he would, like, go crazy because he was going with us on vacation. It was to me a kinder thing to bring him along than to leave him in the kennel for two weeks, so.”

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


In a statement released Tuesday, Dogs Against Romney creator Scott Crider admitted he was “stunned” that Romney only regretted the incident because “the attention it’s received.”

“We continue to be stunned — and disappointed — by Mitt Romney,” Crider said.

....that having the dog on the roof was standard operating procedure.

Where is the truth in this?

to make sure they don't sound like the callous fuckwads they are.

You'd think by now the Romneys would know to never EVER go off script.
