Romney says he "built a windshield" for Seamus.

Now does Mitt Romney look like Mr Popular Mechanics to anyone?

Can anyone imagine him toiling hours in the basement workshop fabricating a sturdy 60mph windscreen and drilling holes in the roof of his car to attach it, just so his faithful companion wont be windblown?

Neither can I.
He's a liar and an animal abuser, but that shouldn't surprise.

For pete's sake, they could have afforded to hire Seamus his *own* car and driver if they didn't want to sit with him.

You're right. He's saying he thought about it. The more he tries to explain, the worse it sounds.

His luggage probably cost lots more than Seamus. Probably made of alligator and trimmed in snake.

Now he says Seamus didn't get any fresh air?

Here's a funny youtube showing Romney's face superimposed on the body of Chevy Chase in the infamous scene in National Lampoon's Family Vacation where he kills his dog.
