Mitt Romney is having the ride of his life...something his old Irish Setter, Seamus, knew something about.

You see back in 1983, Romney, then 36, drove his station wagon from Boston to Ontario to visit his parents. The car was packed with Mrs. Romney and their five sons for the 12 hour ride. So where'd they put the family dog?
In a carrier...Attached to the roof with a special windshield.
Ok, sounds weird, but maybe the dog liked it!
Oh wait no...He soiled himself.
You might lose control too, if you were strapped to the top of a car going 60.
The Boston Globe reporter who first broke the story says it illustrates a quality Romney has grown famous for -- emotion-free crisis management.
After seeing a trail of number two spew down the rear window, he pulled into a service station, hosed-down the car and the pooch then put old fido back-up in his torture chamber and carried on.
Judge as you will, but Romney says "get over it."
You might prefer the roof to being in the car with the Romney’s too!
Film at 11....
