You can tell a lot about individuals by the way they treat animals.
Willard revealed his dark side by tying a crate holding the family dog to the roof of a car for a 12-hour trip to Canada in 1983.
Seamus, an Irish setter, subsequently loosened his bowels and sent cascades of feces flowing over windows and doors.
Which reportedly prompted Willard to take the poopmobile--and still-crated Seamus--through a car wash.
Willard, of course, is leading a lackluster parade seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
He earned most of his estimated $250 million in assets by leading corporate raiders in hostile takeovers and pillaging of companies--throwing thousands of Americans out of work.
Heaven help Americans and their pets if Willard reaches the Oval Office next November.
America really will have gone to the dogs if that happens. (15 JANUARY 2012)
