Kennedy Endorses Water Dog For Obama Family (actual headline)

Why should any mother dog be punished with a puppy?

“A Portuguese water dog is the perfect choice for first dog,” Kennedy said in a written statement.

“Fortunately, I had one with me when I accidentally drove my car off a bridge and into the water. Unfortunately, I was so drunk and so fat the dog got too tired from saving me to help the passenger in my car.”

Someone asked me today, “What dog do you think Obama will bring to the WH” My reply was “He’s already bringing one bitch into the WH with him, why does he need another” It was just begging to be said, you know one of those times where its just on the tip of your tongue and you really shouldnt say it but your inner devil goes what the hell.

[Radio Free American?]

Your right! She does sound like the perfect dog. If they can hold her for just a few more days then Obama will be president and they could take Air Force One to MN. to pick her up! That’s not to much to ask of the American taxpayer is it? And think of the publicity, everyone loves a good heart warming dog story! Just the thought of it gives me a tingling feeling up my leg. ;-)

They don’t even have to fly to Minnesota...Franken can bring her down to Washington with him. /sarc

It only figures that Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy would choose Portuguese Water Dogs as the breed of dog he would own.

Ya just can't make this stuff up!!

??Waterdog??

They're bass bait, not pets!

Is Teddy that drunk?

[presidio9]

Sorry to kill you joke, but the Obamas have indicated that they’re only interested in a puppy. It is my experience that people who know nothing about dogs tend to overstimate the joys of owning a puppy ad nauseum. Puppies are cute pains in the ass.

I hope the dog in question can pull drowning people from the water, perhaps people trapped in cars that are underwater.

[mojitojoe]

yes puppies are cute and a LOT of work. That is exactly why his kids had to wait years and until he got in the WH to get one. That way our tax dollars get to pay for all the messes it will make. He and his wife nothing but 2 low life's. I think this dog is perfect, no hair, no allergy issues and the teeth kinda remind me of MO. Grouchy? me? ya think? ha

[tdscpa]

Looks hypoallergenic. Should be OK for the girls. But, it looks better than his wife, and could cause jealousy issues.

[Impy]

Ted brings his dogs to the Senate? There are enough dogs there!

Pug.

Uh...Jack Russell Terrier

and a species confused mutt, scratching at the door

[nutmeg]

ROTFL! ;-D

[Radio Free American?]

Ha! Ha! did not think of that! Unfortunately that might be possible. I wonder if she voted for Franken too? Look we found another ballot! A little dirty and smelly, but it is clear the vote was intended for Franken. Shoot, they may even find a whole fresh pile of Franken votes there!
