45. Yeah, that's what gets me too. The THINGS. The THINGS got put inside the car with the wife and kids.

The inanimate objects - the luggage and supplies. THOSE are what should have been strapped to the roof of the car for that long a drive. TWELVE HOURS??!?!?!??! Yeah. Their stuff goes inside and the poor dog gets tied to the damn roof of the damn car. I read that Seamus ran away when they finally arrived at their destination. No wonder.

When I think how quietly Goldie rides in the car, curled up into a fraction of her full size, and she'd stay like that for hours - it just a freakin' OUTRAGE!!! I couldn't bear to put her in a cage on top of the car! Worse still, SHE couldn't bear it either! Who would have the heart to do that, other than some cold-hearted schmuck who clearly has no heart? WHAT THE FUCK was that smug, cold-hearted, thoughtless, myopic, detached, unfeeling bastard thinking???? What a heartless bastard!!! As my mother used to say - "heart like a BB." Small and cold and hard.

Hey santorum - THIS is what makes a caring and compassionate member of the human race want to throw up. Shit like this (aside from you, which is a rant for another time and another thread than this one). It tells me everything I need to know about how mitt romney views anything outside his cozy little circle of privilege - it's SO elite that even his own family dog isn't allowed to take part.

It does fall in the "You can't make this shit up" catagory liberal N proud Mar 2012 #1
