Mitt Romney, Fred Malek, and Animal Cruelty

If you read this blog, you already know about Mitt Romney's history of animal cruelty.

On Monday, Romney will be the beneficiary of a fundraiser that is being hosted for him by Fred Malek. Who is Malek? He is the former President of Marriott Hotels and Northwest Airlines; former assistant to U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon and H.W. Bush; and former National Finance Committee Co-Chair for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Fred Malek is also part of a group of men who were arrested after killing, skinning, and barbecuing a dog in a city park in Peoria, IL in 1959.

I'm thinking if Fuks News weighs in against the Rominator then it must be real:

Like it really matters. In a few billion years, the sun will toast this planet, and all we've ever been will likely be lost to the Cosmos ( save for a few bits of hardware, and what ever signals of ours get picked up by someone out there... )

Anyway, about the dog on the roof thing... what's the 1 thing dogs love to do more than anything else , when riding in cars?

Stick their head out the window and let the wind blow in their faces! Well, credit the Romneys for giving their pup what EVERY dog wants. It's gorram brilliant, if you ask me.

According to the Boston Globe, the former Massachusetts governor placed the dog, called Seamus, in a kennel attached to the roof of his white Chevy station wagon. He and his wife and five sons then set off on holiday.

After a few miles, Mr Romney's eldest son, Tagg, raised the alarm. "Dad!" he yelled. "Gross!" A brown liquid was dripping down the rear windscreen.

In protest at his treatment perhaps, Seamus had suffered a diarrhoea attack. The results made driving difficult.

Exhibiting presidential-style cool in a crisis, and with his family howling in disgust, Mr Romney pulled over. He borrowed a hosepipe and washed down Seamus, the car, and the kennel - then set off again with the dog still on the roof.

The Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said the 1983 incident, which came to light this week, could be investigated for possible dog endangerment.

Ingrid Newkirk, an animal rights activist, said Mr Romney had placed the dog under "extreme stress", causing it to "lose control of its bowels". The incident verged on dog and child abuse, she suggested.

The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy),” the president wrote. “Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”

After his mother married Soetoro, Obama lived in Indonesia from 1967 until 1971, from roughly the age of 6 through 10.

The discovery that the president had eaten dog meat prompted wise-cracks on twitter (hashtag — #ObamaDogRecipes) and this tweet from Romney strategist Eric Fehrstrom, who re-tweeted Axelrod’s original message with a different take on the picture of the president and Bo.

...I take issue with some of John’s wording — I’m not sure how quoting from the President of the United States’ own book is either an “amazing stunt” or a “manufactured story,” and I’m a bit annoyed at the idea that a story can’t be a story simply because it happens to be true — but otherwise I find this sufficiently laudatory.

He’s right, this is less about anything I did than about the fact that it can be done. When corrupt hacks push stupid narratives and make scandals out of minor, decades-old incidents to embarrass people they disagree with politically, you can talk back to them. You can’t get them to admit they’re wrong, because that’s f***ing impossible, but you can knock them off their game. You can ruin their day. You can force them to resort to, say, reporting on what the Republican candidate said about a cookie in Pittsburgh. Because they’ve got nothing else to talk about.

And you can do it in your pajamas.

Update: Someone just reminded me that Obama actually won a Grammy for reading the audiobook of Dreams from My Father, in which he bragged about feasting on Fido. Why? Because they couldn’t figure out how to give him an Oscar, a Tony, and the NFL MVP award for it too.

Update: It just occurred to me that Michelle Obama will need to think twice the next time she tries to tell the rest of us what to eat. What a great week this has been

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A 2-month-old child was killed and dismembered by a dog in his family's South Carolina home as his father slept, authorities said Friday.

Aiden McGrew's mother called 911 when she got home around 11 a.m. and discovered the boy's leg was severed by a retriever-Labrador mix the family had taken into the home a few weeks earlier, Dorchester County deputies said.

The boy died at the hospital a short time later, Coroner Chris Nisbet said in a news release.

Nisbet said the boy was bitten and dismembered, but he refused to answer additional questions about the infant's injuries. He said he hopes an autopsy scheduled for Saturday will determine if the boy was dead before the dog dismembered him.

Cave: Nailed it! Thank you for intelligent comment.

I didn't watch the video; I rarely click on links from Raptor or Wulf, having a pretty good idea what they are. As to dog being eaten by some cultures, yes it is, we all know that. To have refused it as a child would be considered weird It has no relation whatsoever to someone choosing to put their dog on the roof of a car in a country which considers dogs pets, but we all realize it's necessary to come up with SOMETHING to strike back. We understand, no problem...see Cave's quote.

I see Whatzit continues his inanity.

And Geezer posts something totally and completely irrelevant. Had to be part of the conversation, I guess.

So, enough reading idiocy, I'm up early to get the pups out before it gets hot. Much better use of my time, and far more enjoyable. Carry on with your immature idiocy...

Inanity? What Romney did was silly, what Barry did was

Don't worry, the late night and standup comics won't hammer Barry's taste for dog meat and grassshoppers for long...if at all. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that Barry once ate HUMAN FLESH! I bet it's tough and tastes like chicken.
