Portuguese waterdogs are cool. Until quite recently they were real working dogs used by watermen. Don’t blame this on the poor dog.

Don't you see the irony in Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy owning Water Dogs?

$1600 for that mutt?

It does seem like a lot of money, especially when you consider that there are thousands of dogs on death row at shelters which you can get for practically nothing.

Sorry, but I draw the line at going after a man’s dog. That’s out of bounds.

If Bo’s been de-studded he’s worth far less than $1600. Probably $400 at the waterdog rescue.

He cannot accept a Nobel. It is unconstitutional.

I'd love to hear the legal theory behind that.

And based on that report I posted earlier, where a close friend of his said one of his favorite topics of humor was Chappaquiddick, I'd say he gave the dogs these names to mock the tragic event.

Anyone else notice Hussein’s intials, BO, are the same name as his dog?

A long time ago.

"BO" also stands for "body odor".

"I'd love to hear the legal theory behind that.

Actually, it's not that much of a stretch, considering the Constitutional principles involved. The USC prohibits emoluments to our elected and appointed federal officials. There's a strong case to be made that the Nobel Prize is a kind of emolument.

For this reason and a few others (mostly surrounding the fact it's a prize given by a foreign power), Teddy Roosevelt elected to wait to accept his Nobel Prize until after he actually left office. Why this wasn't spoken about more when Obama won his, is a mystery - not really, the press wasn't going to rain on his parade. More can be found below...
