Where is Barney, the Presidential Dog?
<<SNIP>>

Where is Barney, the First Dog? It’s been a while. I haven’t seen the First Dog in about two months, at least, now. What gives?

Poor Barney. Is he not being walked? Is no one playing fetch with him? Is he not being taken to his weekly trip to the First Dog groomer? I demand an answer. Barney is why I voted for President Bush. I feel betrayed. I’m worried. About Barney.


The only reason I ever watched the nightly news was to see if Barney was being taken on his daily Presidential walk from the White House to the shiny green Presidential helicopter; and then from the helicopter across the White House lawn back to the White House; and then back out of the White House, across the lawn and into the helicopter again; and over and over and over. He used to be one of the most exercised dogs in America.

I loved the way President Bush would scoop up Barney in his Presidential arms, salute the on-guard Marine, and carry Barney up the helicopter’s Presidential steps and turn around and give the crowd a Presidential wave. It’s why I voted for “Presidential” George W. Bush. It was Barney that did it. I voted for Barney. God, I love that dog.

I don’t care if President Bush spent $300 billion of taxpayer’s money on Iraq and we have nothing to show for it.

2. Barney stopped being useful after Bush stole the election.
He no longer needs to seem like a caring person. That was the only reason for poor old Barney, who no doubt has lived in a Gitmo-like kennel ever since.

9. Hey that's right

I haven't seen him around a while. Last time I remember seeing him is that interview that Barbara Walters did with Bush and Laura. One point they were outside and he was playing with Miss Beazley and George tried calling Barney over and Barney just stared at him like "yeah right" and went back to doing whatever he was doing. George tried calling him over a few times and Barney never went over. LOL. I liked that. ;) Good dog.
