Those are some well-mannered pooches.; 4/26/12, 2:59 PM

Supremely funny. Those dogs appeared to enjoy the joke as much as the humans did. Thank you, Ann, for a perfect eventide chuckle.; 4/26/12, 3:00 PM

Kensington said...: I hope no one shows this to the President; it would probably be very confusing for him, what with his dog eating and all.; 4/26/12, 4:48 PM
Wince said...: "What was that? Where are my dogs? Where are my babies?"

"If Monsieur cannot do without his dogs, then he shall have his dogs... Two dogs, two pies".; 4/26/12, 5:35 PM
Tully said...: LMAO. But it could have used some dialogue. Like:

"Hey, that smells good! What is it?"

"People food."

"People food? waht's it taste like?"

"Pork. Or chicken. Depends on the cut. Obama tastes like chicken."

"are there any other flavors?"

Yeah, there's Soylenbt Green."

"What's it taste like?"

"Hard to say. It varies from person to person."; 4/26/12, 6:18 PM
KCFleming said...: What a great couple dogs!
I'd like to have a beer with them.

Hey, they could be President!; 4/26/12, 7:20 PM
wyo sis said...: No beer. The police dog that behaved stupidly wasn't there.; 4/26/12, 8:23 PM
Anonymous said...: You know what is funny, Gail Collins (the stupidest
person in the Democratic Party writing for the NYT) keeps on talking about dog on top the car but never mentions dog on the dinner table.

You see, Obama-Biden will win. Why? Just follow Gail.; 4/26/12, 8:54 PM

I must admitt when I first read here that Obama had eaten dog food my mind went to that story back when democrats were saying seniors were eating dog food because republicans were cutting medicare.. that seniors were deciding to eat dog food instead of going without their medicine.

So I didn't pay too much attention thinking it was just a dusting off an old play book.. and then I read it was from Obamas Own.; 4/26/12, 9:07 PM

madAsHell said...: A couple of good dogs!

I have no idea why most dogs are so patient with our tom-foolery, but will sacrifice their lives to keep us safe.

Yeah...eating dog is vulgar.

Ricpic the film-makers are in the sweaters!! You probably ran the same skit at Camp Winnamucca!; 4/26/12, 10:14 PM
Known Unknown said...: Tully, don't quit your day job.; 4/26/12, 11:34 PM
george said...: It came out today that Romney rescued a family of six and their dog after the boat they were on capsized.

This just gets better and better.; 4/27/12, 12:00 AM
Curious George said...: "leslyn said...
ricpic, no tricks involved, there are people under those sweaters. The dogs are just sitting there and trying to grab the food as it goes by."

Thanks for clearing that up.; 4/27/12, 6:37 AM
lemondog said...: So... it's not the 2 dogs directing the humans?!; 4/27/12, 7:17 AM
prairie wind said...: george, I heard that story weeks ago, so does "came out" mean MSM finally talked about it?

So many jokes about Obama eating dog! But really...is anyone truly shocked by it? I don't want anyone eating our dog or any dogs that I know but it doesn't particularly worry me that there are places where dog is on the menu.

I tried to find a picture from Firefly of the street food vendor with a "good dog" (or was it "hot dog"?) sign. That's the way I remember it, anyway...can't find the image, though.; 4/27/12, 7:24 AM
RKearns said...: Thanks, I needed a good cry.; 4/27/12, 10:16 AM
Tully said...: One of the dogs called and told me I was wrong wrong wrong.

Obama, apparently, tastes like pork. Lots and lots of pork.; 4/27/12, 10:41 AM
george said...: I loved Firefly. I don't care what Obama ate any more than I care Romney used a pet carrier. And by came out I mean it was the first I had heard of it and it was used as a riposte to the Romney is a cruel and heartless bastard meme.

I just think it is hilarious that no matter what the left comes up with Obama comes out on the short end of the stick. They can't even change the subject competently.; 4/27/12, 3:01 PM
