Wow; Gingrich & Will finding a way to criticize the president over the dog

[oviedodem]

George Will: "A grand liberal gesture, saying he was going the pound and then using a breeder"

Gingrich: "I hope the girls like the dog but this whole thing is stupid and unimportant"


There is no limits to the stupidity of these people.

1. yep

I can kind of get someone saying the dog story is trivial (but yes, I am interested in the dog personally, haha), but Newt doesn't get to say that with the bullshit that he obsessed over in the Clinton years. Yeah, Will and Newt seemed very bitter. And Will had to piss on the Obamas making a donation to the humane society. Plus, they only mentioned the dog for a split second. The guest didn't show up today so it was an extra long panel, I'm sure we can spare five seconds Newt. And they didn't mention that it was a regifted dog (yes, trivial, but if Will is going to criticize about this "broken promise" BS).

2. They got nuthin'.

President Obama said they were considering getting a rescue dog, if it worked out. And anyway, who cares what these lying, conservative idiots think?

[Peregrine Took]

3. Nuthin' from nuthin' leaves nuthin'. n/t

[TheKentuckian]

4. Meh... I don't like Newt playing this new "common sense", grounded, and reasonable persona

Saying the dog is not a big story (instead of finding an angle to make some hay or at least try to) and even in principal and in the form of stupid tax cuts, calling for a second stimulus is clearly laying groundwork. He's looking for another "reinvent" and is getting ahead of the herd from a thinking and image projection standpoint.

10. Newtie "saying the dog is not a big story" - but made damn well sure TO BRING IT ALL UP & TRY

TO MAKE IT A "BIG STORY"...!!!

fucking walking talking HYPOCRITE!!!

[BlooInBloo]

5. Oh - thought you were talking about DUers for a minute - my bad.

[Top Cat]

6. They are running out of talking points

[Phx_Dem]

7. Speaking of stupid and unimportant, Newt . . .

Just saying.

[SpiralHawk]

8. Homelanders whining again about Americans & dogs

it is just so pathetic to watch Homelanders whine in their ongoing Crusade to cause America to FAIL -- the way they failed for 8 miserable years. They just don't get that trying to drag America down to their level of incompetence and corruption is, how shall I put it, STUPID and EVIL.

[alsame]

9. And the Bushes got their Scotties from

where? A shelter?

And the Bushes donated how much to the ASPCA, HSUS or other animal welfare groups?

STFU GOP.

[DrToast]

11. It was a rescue dog....which is what they said they were going to do. n/t

[northernlights]

14. it most certainly was *not* a rescue dog

The original purchasers returned it to the breeder. It's not uncommon for more ethical breeders to include return clauses in the purchase contract, which was the situation here. Ted Kennedy arranged the re-sale/re-homing.

Bo was no danger of landing in a shelter or pound, or of being gassed to death, or sold cheap to a lab, or sold cheaper to a dog fighting ring as training bait.

[DrToast]

19. You don't understand what a rescue dog is

A rescue dog doesn't have to be in a near death situation. There are organizations that hold dogs until/if they can find them a home. Those dogs aren't going to die. They're still considered rescue dogs. Yes, this was from the original breeder, but the dog didn't have a permanent home.

[mkultra]

12. i think they must post here

[MoonRiver]

13. This is what Rethugs do.

Nothing to see here, move along.

[azmouse]

15. God forbid in these tough times that

anyone finds a moment of peace in the enjoyment of a new puppy.

[opihimoimoi]

16. GOP...the Party of MOOT and MINUTIAE...all they do is throw shit at the challenge of recovery

Fucking worms boring holes in our National Lifeboat...

Bullies on a mission to destroy opposition to their dominating ways...spoiled and fat, they wish a return to power by denigration instead of appreciation....

No One appreciates the GOP these days....they have destroyed the TRUST with Ineptness and LIES

[Honeycombe8]

17. To be fair, Gingrich wasn't criticizing the Prez. Only George Will. nt

[rocktivity]

18. Unless someone can explain why you can't get a hypoallergenic dog from a shelter or pound

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Will.

As for Gingrich, he's just being his usual grouchy, mean-spirited self (you can't spell "Gringrich" without "G-r-i-n-c-h"). If he'd actually put the blame where it was due--said something like, "It was stupid of THE MEDIA to make a big deal out of the puppy because it's unimportant and nobody cares," then I'd have to agree with him as well!

:scared:

20. Next I guess we will be hearing that...

his name is BO after Barack Obama or that he is Black and white like Barack Obama..

[LynnTheDem]

21. Like overly tired crabby children, nothing Pres. Obama does or

says or doesn't say or do will make them happy.

We The People spanked them and sent them to their rooms, where they're now sulking and tossing temper tantrums.

And every day they're losing more voters. So they toss more tantrums.

And lose more voters. And toss more tantrums...


Like overly tired crappy little kids, they can't work out the obvious and adjust their behaviour.
