If I were Mitt, I'd be keeping my mouth shut on the whole dog thing. Mark Silva of the Baltimore Sun:

In an interview airing tonight on FOX News Channel’s Hannity and Colmes, Romney speaks about both his own future and the battle between Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton --"like listening to two chihuahuas.'' John McCain, he says, is "the big dog.''

McSame's a dog, huh? Anyone remember Seamus, Willard's Irish setter?

From Anna Marie Cox's original post:

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.

Yeah, I wouldn't be talking about dogs if I were Willard Mitt (cf. Proverbs 26:11).

I take this seriously, because, unlike Democrats, the leadership class of the Republican Party has serious animal abuse issues. Check the link: McSame's national finance director helped kill and barbecue a dog when drunk, in college (search the link above for "saturated with blood" and "gave conflicting stories").

So, if I had to pick between prostitution and torturing and killing helpless animals as a sign of moral turpitude, I'd pick the animal abuse. My goodness, I just can't imagine why the one is a story and the other isn't and never has been.

Oh, wait...
