Seamus Story Paints a Picture of Mitt
TIME:"Well, what do you think of it?"
Gingrich: "Well, I just, you know, I'd rather not have been in the kennel all the way to Canada. Personally doesn't strike me as a very good thing to have done. But that's just my personal bias, you know....
"I think that there are many characteristics that come out in the course of a presidential campaign. From the use of words, like 'I like firing people' which didn't mean he liked firing people but he said, 'I like firing people,' which sounds like I like firing people even though it wasn't to putting a dog on the top of a car for nine hours. All these different things paint a picture. All of us have pictures. And the governor has to figure out whether or not that picture is electable.

With respect, I don't think a picture of Newt in a kennel is electable.

the back window and the kids started screaming. Mittens had to get out an hose it off. (per
son, in this month's Vanity Fair)
I can't just imagine anal Mittens getting all bent out of shape with that one. Poor
kids probably wanted to laugh their asses off and he got all bossy uptight.

I believe in Mitt. Especially as Republican nominee.

(11,045 posts)5. He actually said 'airtight',
which I presumed it meant the kennel had no open grill. Actually, Vanity Fair says Mitt put up a windshield.

can hold for a long time. The son said Mitt only would stop twice for gas on the trip from Boston to
Ontario. Poor pup
