The mystery begins in a Pittsburgh bar where several high-flying airline types met last month. The group swapped stories over drinks when three people present let loose with a good tale.
Bo, the presidential puppy, recently left a present on the presidential jet, they said, and a flight attendant had nearly stepped in it. Associated Press Bo, the Obama family dog, walks away from Air Force One Aug. 30, 2009, at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., upon the Obamas arrival from a vacation in Marthas Vineyard. You can imagine the horror on board when they discovered what it had done, a participant in the conversation said, referring to Bo. Reports of other puppy-like behavior support the story.
At least two reporters spotted Bo running loose aboard Air Force One this summer. News stories say he chews socks, magazines and the presidential sneakers. In an NBC television interview around the time of the alleged accident, President Barack Obama said Bo has chosen notable venues in the past. We go out and were walking and Im picking up poop, and in the background is the beautifully lit White House, the president said. Its quite a moment.
A White House press official was certainthe scoop on the poop was a crock. The press office checked with the Air Force One flight crew who said Bo had not desecrated the jet... (SNIP)
According to McConnell, he checked with two contacts in the 89th Airlift Wing. Both separately confirmed Bos youthful indiscretion, although neither of them would speak directly with Washington Wire. Of course the dog accident on Air Force One happened, McConnell contends. But the 89th wont go public with it, he said, because it is strict Air Force policy not to discuss passengers activities. The White House stands by its denial.... (SNIP)

Sounds like a case for the Hardly Boys:
He lied as it was “below his pay grade” to pick up dog feces.
Wouldn’t that be a brown job?
It was probably Hillary.

Remember how Bubba naturally caused canines to present a "Clinton Moustache?"
Seems reasonable the Big Wee Wee would also cause cause puppy to make a Bo-Bo Doo Doo.
"Honey, I think one of the dogs did a Bernanke on the kitchen floor and then ate it."
"Not only that, but Roscoe has been dragging his Paulson around on the carpet, think he needs those glands squeezed again."
Oh no!!
50 posts and no picture of Michelle as the first Dog ?!?!?
Wow.
I have a sneaking suspicion that with all the dogs that presidents have had over the years, this was not the first dump taken on Air Force One. Certainly not by a canine.
Duh!! Shit happens.
What I want to know...Was Number 1 on the plane at the same time as Number 2?
Good question. I was immediately reminded of Mrs. O’s weird wide-legged “stance” in recent photos.
Me too!
Please have some sympathy for the dog! Airplane toilets are not the most comfortable places in the world.
