If I interpret the phrase "scooting on the White House carpet" as in a dog dragging his hind end along the carpeted floor, would I be correct? If so, ROTFLMAO...
Yes, that was the intended use of the word "scooting." And I'm ecstatic that it was a Marine that posted first on this even though all the Marines I knew when I was in the Army(84-87) called me an Army Dog.
