You know the dog, Seamus, that Mitt Romney put on the roof of the car for a 12 hour trip?

Yeah, the one that got sick all over Romney’s car to pay him back?

Well, Seamus asked for asylum in Canada.

Mitt Romney may not have told the whole truth about the scandalous tale of his Irish Setter, Seamus, being strapped to the roof of his car during a 12-hour family road trip to Canada. According to a trusted Politicker tipster, two of Mr. Romney’s sons had an off-record conversation with reporters where they revealed the dog ran away when they reached their destination on that infamous journey in 1983.

Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, has previously said Seamus survived the trip and went on to live to a “ripe old age.” As of this writing, Mr. Romney’s campaign has not responded to multiple requests for comment on this story.

I guess he filed papers as a Prisoner of Car and asked for the Geneva Convention to do something, dammit.

Thanks to Deb for the heads-up.
