Interview with a Seamus

GQ Italia, the Italian-edition of GQ magazine, recently obtained a coveted interview with none-other than Seamus Romney, former pet of Gov. Romney and family. Seamus, now 30 years old (210 in dog years-wow!) calls home the back of an arts-supply store in Dover, Delaware. In the interview, he recalls his now-infamous ride in a crate on top of the Romney station wagon for a 15 hour family trip to Canada. Seamus displayed a surprisingly ambivalent feeling about the incident. "'Seamus', they all say," said the Irish Setter, "tell us about the crate, the car, the ride. Please. Whatever, okay? I rode in a crate on top of a car. Is this so amazing? I’ll tell what would have been amazing- actually riding in the car with that family. Can you imagine this? 15 hours in a stale-air station-wagon listening to them sing 'John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt' a million times over. Now for that, I would have deserved a medal. It would have been something. And watching the Father (Gov Romney) check himself out in the rear-view mirror for the thousandth time? I would have preferred they drop me off at the pound."
