I would have figured that a weasel or Siamese cat would have made a much better fit.

My collie says:

Bo should be nominated for the next cabinet position. It’s the ONLY way to make certain that the next nominee DOESN’T have “tax issues”.

It would never work, collie. All the other cabinet members would be SO jealous — with Bo clearly being the smartest member of the cabinet, and all.

Marco is right. BO promised they would adopt a shelter dog while he was campaigning. Them getting a specially bred dog means that shelter dog will die. When will the media or animal welfare people (of which I am one) make hay of this?

Pander much?

He is an avid leg-humper and can lay on his back and kiss his own butt.

Enough about the drive-by media, what’s going on in the real world of news?

Seems like you thought of it first, so you own it.

No, I own it. Sure, mocking Obama vanity is like shooting poisoned fish in a barrel, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be effective. Go ahead, make fun of Obama for naming his fluffy dog after himself, even if you don’t think it’s true (which never stopped Dubya mockers). You could make your lib acquaintances cry without having to give them any crap about their ponytails.

Speaking of Obama vanity, I continue to see new magazine covers featuring Michelle O. It doesn’t stop. What’s next, the cover of Hustler?

I hereby deny all responsibility for any vomit-ruined monitors and keyboards.

So it’s “Bo.” And, um, what do Barack Obama’s initials spell?

… (singing) … you’re so vain, you probably think this dog is about you…

Thanks for the laughs.
