Now, despite the fact that he staffed his little paper with GOP advisors and got most of his funding from Foster Friess, who famously bankrolls presidential candidates like Rick Santorum, Carlson likes to claim that "we're not enforcing any kind of ideological orthodoxy on anyone."
Which might even be true, except... well, they ran with this story on Monday. A fluff piece, about Obama buying a new dog. Another Portuguese Water Dog named Sunny, to give First Dog Bo a playmate. Cute, right?
Apparently it’s a girl and it was born in 2012 in Michigan, where the unemployment rate was 8.8 percent last month.OK, motherTucker, define "non sequiter" for me, will ya?
What exactly is that little factoid doing in the second paragraph of a human-interest fluff piece? Is it, maybe, to show that "Obama reigns over a failed presidency"? "Obama doesn't care about poor people"? How does that even belong there?
But that's not the gold. Oh, no. Here's the gold - the last two sentences in the piece.
With the addition of Sunny, the Obamas now have two black Portuguese water dogs.Yes, that's right. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.
The Obamas do not have any white dogs.
We now officially have a new definition for "dog-whistle politics."
So I just had to click the link and go see this site. Now I'll need to wash my eyes with bleach! Ever wonder what happened to grown ups? We seem to be seriously lacking in grown ups in this country. I have a black and white dog, I wonder if that makes me biracial?
ReplyDeleteWell, the picture of the new dog includes a shot of Bo. With the white patch on his chest.
ReplyDeleteWait, they already call Obama "halfrican," don't they?
Kind of puts the lie to "(they) now have two black Portuguese water dogs," though, doesn't it?
Yes, sir, they're against injustice and discrimination and it's them Libtards who are the real bigots. Call it Aryan Nation Light. The 'movement' if I may compare it to other things done in the toilet, has all kinds of contrived evidence to prove it -- all kinds of incidents where crimes by black criminals (and aren't they all criminals?) are rarely reported by the "liberal" press while you just can't hardly kill one of them and get away with it any more. Talk about unfair.
ReplyDeleteSome times these people clean up nicely, as with that Tucker boy, but despite what you'd think, the people who write this may appeal to the red neckery but they're all nice, middle class college boys (if somewhat self pitying) on the payrolls of not so nice tycoons and would-be Übermenschen.
I do feel so sorry for myself these days - being white and all.
I've actually seen this breed because neighbors own one. The Stupids at The Daily Caller obviously know nothing about Portuguese water dogs. Otherwise, the report would include these facts:
ReplyDelete* Underneath all that hair, the dog's skin is different colors. Blue skin is found under the black hair, pink skin under the white hair.
* Portuguese water dogs were originally bred by fisherman in Portugal to work on their boats. The dogs would retrieve fishing nets, and also carry messages from ship to ship, or from ship to shore, Disz says. They have webbed toes and are good swimmers who will swim with their heads under water.
So the Stupids on the right should have reported that the Obama's have BLUE (and possibly PINK) skinned dogs. The PWD's hair is either black or white or a combination.
Gasp! Blue-skinned (and possibly PINK-skinned) dogs, with BLACK AND WHITE hair at our WHITE House, where a BROWN-skinned family lives???
What has happened to this country?!
And will someone PLEASE report this to Donald "I have an ORANGE squirrel living on my head" Trump!
I love humor. Even when the issue isn't really funny. But that's the point. Isn't it?
ReplyDeleteNo
DeleteI was referring to Shaw's Trump comment. My apologies for not being clear.
DeleteNot being familiar with he breed, when Ted Kennedy helped Barry locate his Bo, I was under the impression that the Portuguese Water Dog came in various colors. Not long afterwards, my neighbor, a republican, purchased two very handsome dogs, of the type that we commonly call designer dogs, that were remarkably similar in appearance to Bo, except that their coats were a deep reddish brown. I asked him if they were "the same breed as the president's dogs?" He didn't get cruel or huffy. He was very friendly and explained that they were bred from Golden Retriever, Poodle and Australian Sheep Dog.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the idea that we are all Americans. Why do we have to go around hating on each other? btw, The breed is supposed to be closely related to the Kerry Blue Terrier, a rather magnificent breed.
I wouldn't fuss over Seersucker Snarlson. He's a has-been preppy who's lost his monogram.
ReplyDeleteI was going to make the same point that Shaw did. Hair color does not make a "Black" dog, as the skin color does not match. How do people this dumb become so successful?
ReplyDeleteI think it shows more desperation than anything else - what with the failure of every prediction and warning and prognostication. They're just running out of things to scare us with, but after all, they've always been ridiculous and contrived. Remember the crap about flag pins and the size of the flag on his plane and how his campaign logo looked somehow "muslim" and the "terrorist fist bump" and all the rest of it?
ReplyDeleteIt's still very much the "stupid party"
