A British Tribute to Chimpy's Dead dog Spot

[MrBenchley]

From the snarky folks at Private Eye...

"So. Farewell
Then Spot,
English Springer
Spaniel, loyal friend
And companion
To President George W.
Bush
For fifteen
Years.

Keith says
You were nearly as
Faithful
As the English poodle
Blair."

5. aww that's a shame

You don't like hearing about dogs dying, even if they are Bush's. RIP Spot.

6. Yeah dying pets is sad.

I'm sure Spot is relieved to be away from those people though. ;-)
