we weren't even going to mention the
passing of awol's prized dog spot, because we ourselves are dog lovers, and we figure the one good thing (maybe the
only good thing) about a
wol is that he's a dog lover too (though
not very good at holding them).
however, we bring it up, because wonkette, one of our newest favs in blogtopia (yes! we coined that phrase!) brings it up, and incorrectly labels the dear departed spot as the "most likable member of the bush administration."
sorry, wonkette, and sorry to the memory of spot, as we do not like to speak ill of the dead. but it is safe to say that of course the most likable member of awol's administration is and always has been barney.
our proof? was it spot who, two years in a row, had their own
christmas video on the official white house web site?
(although we notice, in reverent deference to spot's passing, the white house is now labeling it as "spot and barney's christmas video." we think this only proves our point, that barney is dog enough to share the spotlight with his dearly departed friend).
god rest you spot.
[ed. note: is there some way of getting in that four years of this administration is like 28 years of hell in dog years?]
