Troublesome pets must die

Kristi Noem does look like somebody who would kill her dog – and, when the need arose, her troublesome goat.

For that alone, she’s definitely running-mate material for Don Snoreleone. This won’t hurt her a bit. Today’s GOP loves a woman with the stones to kill for convenience. 

Remember how much grief Mitt Romney got for hauling his dog 12 hours in a carrier strapped to the top of his car? Me too. I was kind of appalled at the time, but now Mitt seems like St. Francis of Assisi.

At least he brought the dog. Kristi would have killed old Seamus the minute she realized the roof thing was going to be a hassle. Once again, folks: Today’s Republican party in microcosm.
