This morning I posted about a thing the Boston Globe ran about Romney. Well it gets better!

Time.com’s Ana Marie Cox wrote:

Not that we can lock him up. It’s not a cut and dried case, according to animal welfare officer I spoke to, and it looks like the statute of limitations has passed on the incident (15 years).

But she also got a quote from Ingrid Newkirk, President of PETA (full quote at the Time.com link):

In the case of the dog on the roof of the car, if this is true, quite remarkably it obviously wasn’t for show as only his own children were watching, a lesson in cruelty that was also wrong for them to witness. There was also the obviousness of the situation. Thinking of the wind, the weather, the speed, the vulnerability, the isolation on the roof, it is commonsense that any dog who’s under extreme stress might show that stress by losing control of his bowels: that alone should have been sufficient indication that the dog was, basically, being tortured.

Now, yeah PETA people can be nutso too, but they are right about this one.

But remember I said it got better?

Well the Boston Globe doesn’t seem to like the fact that managed to throw Romney under a bus in trying to push him as a candidate. So they post links to the Time.com thing and try to brush it off by throwing Bill Frist under some wheels as well. Not that it’s hard, mind you. But here you go:

But Romney’s treatment of Seamus is no match for what Bill Frist, the former Senate majority leader and one-time presidential candidate, did to cats. When Frist was in medical training in Boston in the 1970s, he used to go around to animal shelters, adopt cats, and promise to care for them as pets. Then he killed them in experiments.

“It was a heinous and dishonest thing to do,” Frist wrote in an autobiography. “I was going a little crazy.”

Come on and watch Boston Globe’s website freak out under pressure. Scott Helman, the “political reporter” at Boston.com is an amazing man, I feel. He understands that in order to distract people you just have to keep making other people look worse. I’m sure that’ll get him far.

Really.

I can’t’ wait for tomorrow when Scott Helman tries to shift this even further. Soon he’ll be reduced to “And hey if you think that’s bad, God killed almost fucking well everyone with a flood once!”

I. Can’t. Wait.
