The Democrats are now using the accusation that Mitt Romney strapped the family dog on top of their car over 20 years ago against him. Democratic National Committee spokesman Damien LaVera said this in a statement about a rash of minor scandals in the past week involving people connected to his campaign:

“The only thing sicker than smooth talking Mitt Romney’s poor dog is his refusal to provide the American people the openness and accountability they expect from their next president. The Romney campaign may be disintegrating into a wacky cast of characters and bizarre stories, but the truly disturbing thing is how thoroughly it echoes the Bush Administration’s consistent pattern of putting itself above the law. If Romney thinks he can win by blindly defending scandal-plagued cronies, skirting ethics rules, and surrounding himself with shady donors and fundraisers, the American people have a clear message for his (sic): That dog won’t hunt."
