Mitt Romney launched his campaign for the Presidency today. Officially, that is. Good luck to him. Here’s a clip of Mitt last time he ran:
Who let the dogs out? Not Mitt Romney. He prefers to put his luggage in the boot and strap his dog to the roof rack. This does not end well but Mitt and his advisors suggest that the way Romney deals with this shows his expert crisis-management skills. Yeah, right. Sure, if you want a friend in Washington you should get a dog but who would want to be Mitt Romney’s dog? This is a superficially trivial but actually non-trivial character indicator.
What do we want? Justice for Seamus! When do we want it? Before it was necessary.
