Wonkette
So here’s The Dog. It is a Portuguese Water Dog, six months old, and a gift from Ted Kennedy and his wife Mrs. Kennedy. Denby must be furious at Obama, taking the cancer man’s dog like this. [White House photo/Pete Souza, NYT]

This is an Easter furry? Barry did bring some change to da house.
It’s “Bo”, short for “Hobo”.
It took a while to find the reincarnation of J.Edgar Hoover but worth it.
Check out Nobama, with his fancy ‘leetist Europe dog.
Wake up sheeple!
Also short for “Boring”. He does, however, look appropriately aloof. But “Bo don’t know jack, cuz Bo can’t rap…”
I’m surprised they didn’t call it “Oreo.”
…and, of course, it’s a gay dog.
Oh great, another leftist elitist in the White House. We can only help that a day full of teabagging will save us.
Man, I haven’t seen a White House dog get leied like that since Bill Clinton.
Heyo!
wonderboom: Well the dog is from Massachusetts so, what with all teh ghey marriage there, the puppy never really had a chance.
First the black and white cookie. Then the black and white preznit. Now the black and white dog????? Have you no shame sirs? When will the madness cease?
rambone: Wrong! That puppy chose to be gay!
Maybe the Obamas will be successful in teaching Bo to talk like a person, as the Clintons were with Chelsea. You out there, Denby?
That is one cute widdle snuggums. Who’s a widdle snuggums? Who is?
wonderboom: Win
gjdodger: You are a great American.
Black and white dog, bitches! I love the Obamas’ sense of humor. Can’t wait until Bo saves a Republican senator’s kid from drowning at Camp David or something.
Doesn’t Biden have a son named Beau? Bo is clearly an inside joke about Biden’s lobbyist son.
This is clearly Jesse Jackson’s Dog. Pfffft.
Hooray for the Easter holy water dog! He replaces Barney, who took us to war in Iraq, broke New Orleans and collapsed the world economy.
gjdodger: OMGROTFLMAO!!!!
Oh, wait, that was my cat.
Now that is one strange looking tail!!
Train to bite lobbyists and Faux reporters only.
Wonder if Bo will have his own video show like Barney?
I wonder if Ted Kennedy likes water dogs because they’re really good at swimming, something that could come in handy next time he drives off a bridge.
What, too wingnut?
Glenn Beck: “Fascism is coming, but it’s not the Nazi fascism, it’s fascism with a happy face!”
ONLY NOW do we see exactly what he meant.
Ugliest rabbit ever.
My offering of snark would be de trop, I see.
rambone: Remember, the D.C. city council voted to recognize ghey marriages from elsewhere… Very suspicious.
Mahalo, bitches!
Socks Rodham Clinton is not pleased.
Country Club Jihadi: Oh, if only they’d named him Phife Dawg.
Funny as hell bitch slappin’ going on over at huffpo about this poor rainbow pup.
Serious question:
Why, when I have cleared my “history, browser cache, saved passwords, cookies, and authenticated sessions,” do I still receive 8342930 “immediate” threats to my computer, after running my anti-virus software, when I have only accessed Wonkette?
Seriously, does Fuck Cheney actually run this site?
Son-of-a-bitch. I just ran another scan.
Can you get yeast infections from your computer?
Welcome to Muslin Terrorist Socialist/communsit Fascist Black Power Racist Internationalist family, Bo.
Scandinavian Fetus:
Sounds like your anti-virus SW comes with the Denby Olds Anti-Snark Patch.
Pilate:
Not yet quite dead Kennedy…
omg!omg! In the covers bottom right corner!
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Uber_Alles[/url]
YES!
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_poster[/url]
“Bo” is — JELL(b)O B(o)IAFRA!!! Wake up Sheeple!! No Im nOt drunk!!
Obama and Bo should do a photo shoot as Vetinari and Wuffles.
(Rahm can be Vimes.)
Scandinavian Fetus: Sucks for you, man.
Thats totally cute…
don’t pretend otherwise, you drunken assholes..
Has all the applicable taxes been paid on the pooch yet?
Thats all we need.
Isn’t this the dog from the Angry in Maine Tearrorism mailer? as in “screaming from the windows”? Huh? Isn’t it?
ManchuCandidate: Did you mean “Bo” (as in Beau) or “Bro” (as in well-hung brother)?
It makes a difference to me.
Oh what a sweetums!Guaranteed re-election!
It’s the Kennedy’s old dog? If the dog’s anything like its previous family, then they’d better wrap plastic around everything with 4 legs… (in anticipation of all the inevitable humping! Get it Denby? Get it?)
Atheist Nun: Toe Cramps use to be my id, but you’ll do.
Wait…why does the Portuguese Water dog from Massachusetts have a Hawaiian lei?
OMG, it’s probably because Obama still considers himself Hawaiian?!?!? He’s supposed to be the American President, not from a foreign island!!!1!1 WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!1!
Scandinavian Fetus: I think you’ve also been visiting Joe the Plumber’s blog where all the best haXors hang out. I’m constantly getting worms over there. Bo, like Wonkette has been checked for worms
he looks like trouble, he’s kinda got a little bit of crazy eyes going on; i suppose being forced to live with a bunch of muslin socialists would be terrifying for anyone.
SQUEEEEE!!!!
Wait. This isn’t Cute Overload?
assistant/atlas: Portuguese Water dog from Massachusetts with a Hawaiian lei
ZOMG! It’s the Globalisation Dog! Somebody alert the John Birch Society - the UN black helicopters can’t be far behind.
He’s tryng to disguise his Muslinity with that lei, but he clearly should be named Bo X.
that look in his eyes, … oh, he’s looking for a “Doggie Bailout”.
smartypants: Funny ha ha kinda funny. the real story over there is the swedes have a lego jeezuz
I have doubts about changing a dog name at 6 months.
His whole life- people are calling “Charlie, Charlie, come here”.
He is going to be confused for a while.
besides that:sarcasticusername:
I want to make a birth certificate joke about Nobama the usurper and his foreign usurper socialist dog, but I think it’s too obvious.
loquaciousmusic:
Now thats’ just racist!!!
Fuck. As if my giddy, schoolgirl crush over this Goddamned family couldn’t get any worse.
sati demise: And “Bo” rhymes with NO.
(I’m sure that while most breeders of Porties are proud, they are not happily anticipating the shelters filling up with PWDs and PWD hybrids.)
lovekills: I KNOW!!!!!! Why isn’t this shit being reported over here??
If Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck ever sneak into teh White House, they gonna find out “Bo” is short for “Rambo” when he goes all commando on their fat asses.
I don’t’ think Glenn’s meds allowz him to be plump. He’s GOT to be mainlinin’ the anti-seizures…crying like a little bitch on demand like that take talent he doesn’t have.
Jukesgrrl: That would only work if it were a BoXer.
[Waah, waah, waah, waaaaah!]
I don’t’ think Glenn’s meds allowz him to be plump.
Have you seen the man? He isn’t a sphere, but he’s certainly “plump” and “stocky” even with the meth.
In some countries Portuguese water dogs from Massachusetts are a delicacy.
Jukesgrrl: Or Bokely Carmichael.
IceCreamEmpress: Husky? Wonder if he’s sensitive about it. And, if he’s taking hormones to boot….well, that certainly explains ALOT. So we were talking about the dog, and how it would bite Rush and Glenn on their fat asses if they dare cross threshold of Muslin Palace. And then…all the air would go out of them.
Dare to dream.
I dunno, that dog looks a little too much like Blagojevich for my liking… is this what it’s come to? The former governor of Illinois is forced to take a job wearing a furry suit and making White House Christmas movies???!!!1!!
I, for one, welcome our new k-9 overlord.
gjdodger: I think that actually might BE his full name! When I heard Bo, the first thing I thought was “short for what?”
This dog looks like a regular mutt-type dog to me. These run about $50?
Today, we are all Portuguese Water Dogs.
Since ‘bo’ is colloquial Italian for ‘I dunno’, I choose to believe that the Obamas were unable to even name their dog w/o the help of a tell-o-prompter.
DemmeFatale: yikes! exactly. poor dog is going to be very confused.
Dog names should have two syllables.
Maybe it will end up as ‘Bo-ie”
Butterstick has been officially replaced as the Wonkette mascot.
Go Bo!
sarcasticusername: Yes! I thought the same thing. Cute little fuzzy paws, cute little fuzzy face, and in his eyes, the look of a serial killer. That goggie scared me.
SmutBoffin: Interesting! Covert ‘know nothing dog’ is a Republican?
My dogs name is ‘everything’ in Aztec.
He’s got Ewok eyes. DO NOT LIKE.
Scandinavian Fetus: hahahahahahaha you are obviously a PC user.
White Presidents have been getting black dogs for years— but our first black President doesn’t get a white dog? That’s not change Glenn Beck can believe in.
Cranky Old Batt: he totally looks like he would cut a bitch if she looked at him funny; he’s deceptively cute, but i doubt he takes too much nonsense before he bites you in the crotch or pees on your leg. he looks appropriately moody & unimpressed, i hope he gets up to some good shenanigans.
WHY DID THE MUSLIN OBAMA NEED A HALFWHITE DOG TO TELL HIM TO KILL THE PIRATES?
EUROPEAN DIPLOMAT #1: This is outrageous. The most senior European now in Washington is a dog. And he will spend all his time humping the President’s leg.
EUROPEAN DIPLOMAT #2: I know. That was our job.
BHO: Bo, what grows on trees?
Bo: Bark!
BHO: What’s on top of a house?
Bo: Roof!
BHO: Who’s the greatest ballplayer that ever lived?
Bo: Ruth, ruth.
BHO: Get this goddam mutt outta here:
Bo: Well, the Kennedys say Ted Williams.
I can see that’s one little leg-humper who’s gonna cost a fortune in jheri curl. Hey just off hand - does anyone know at what age they butcher those things?
Acquiring this pooch is purely a tactical move for our war against the pirates. Shrewd B.O., very shrewd. Way to use the defense budget wisely.
The name game!
Shirley!
Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley
Fee fy mo Mirley, Shirley!
Lincoln!
Lincoln, Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo Fincoln
Fee fy mo Mincoln, Lincoln!
Come on everybody!
I say now let’s play a game
I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody’s name
The first letter of the name, I treat it like it wasn’t there
But a B or an F or an M will appear
And then I say bo add a B then I say the name and Bonana fanna and a fo
And then I say the name again with an F very plain
and a fee fy and a mo
And then I say the name again with an M this time
and there isn’t any name that I can’t rhyme
Arnold!
Arnold, Arnold bo Barnold Bonana fanna fo Farnold
Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold!
Some Easter wisdom for y’all.

If it’s Portuguese, I’m all for it.
Sorry, my cat just freaked out and jumped on my keyboard.
My Cat Simply Does not Care For The Obama Family Dog!
IMPEACH BO!!1!!
Just please gawd don’t let the Obamas groom it like this. Grown water dogs are supposed to look like sheep, not standard poodles!
Or better yet,
IMPEACH BOBAMA!!!1!!
So, Ted Kennedy got bored of waiting for the Obamas to pick a dog, so he said “Oh fer chrissakes! Have dis one”. <- I assume Ted Kennedy is actually Irish for that dialogue.
As Colbert pointed out the other day, there are already two children’s books out about picking a presidential dog, yet there hadn’t been a dog picked. Do you have to show your birth certificate to adopt a dog in DC??? No Birth Certificate, No Dog, NOBAMA! etc etc
sati demise: Oh, I think Bo will adjust okay. Anytime he doesn’t do what he’s told, Barry can just have secret service put a gun to his head.
WTF? Queer dog but he’s against gay marriage?
They should have named him Tony Blair.
too easy?
One other thing I probably should tell you, because if I don’t they’ll probably be saying this about me, too. We did get something, a gift, after the election. A man down in Massachusetts heard Michelle on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And believe it or not, the day before we left on this foreign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore, saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was? It was a little Portuguese Water Dog in a crate that he’d sent all the way from Massachsetts, black and white, spotted. And our little girl Sasha, the six year old, named it “Bo.” And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog, and I just want to say this, right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we’re gonna keep it.
Did you know that Sasha was short for Natasha? Glen Beck! Why have you not spent an hour alerting the people of the United States, who you speak for, of the fact that Obama named his daughter after the greatest Soviet Spy Ever!!! Natasha Fatale!
Hagar77: Paterson eyes.
Next: the pooch bankrupts the WH Alpo budget and MO must learn to shop at Target
Kev-O-Tron: It’s not a castrated poodle.
As not a Portugese-American, but as my father being friends with many Portugese Americans, who taught me as a child many cuss words and obscenities I did not know the English language could be contorted to create, this is the koolest.
1. Hostage-Exchange Dog
2. The National Dish of The Phillipines
3. Ryan Seacrest
4. Spaulding
This is bullshit. A Teddy Kennedy dog has a tiny barrel of liquor strapped around his neck - and everyone knows it.
sati demise: Barry Soetoro had no problem changing his name.
Don’t be gay, Bo.
Don’t be gay.
smartypants: Bo Jackson?
Good christ I hope they don’t give it its own web page.
With a water dog, I suppose they’re getting ready for the rising water levels occasioned by global warming, which of course isn’t happening. In the words of Los Lobos, WAKE UP DOLORES!
Tonight on Fox News: What quid pro quo did Obama have to promise Ted Kennedy?
WadISay: From this Red Sox fan — WIN!
sati demise: We actually renamed a dog to Charlie. He ran away from his owner to be our dog, and owner said, wtf, keep him. We did, for 14 years.
Well, of course, the Obamas would have a gay dog. And if those white socks on its paws aren’t a nod to gay porn, I’ll eat my hat.
Oh, the action figure industry will just love this.
This is your puppy. You earned it, America!
DemmeFatale: Maybe the White House,, like Disney, should issue a release advising all the assclowns who will now want to run out and buy a PWD, to wait and think twice. Of course, backyard breeders will be eagerly awaiting the opportunity to replinish their beer and cigarette fund, while the shelters will be stocking up on the pink juice. Thanks Ted and Barry. Thanks for nothing.
Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’
do ted and barry have any control over the assclowns so bereft of independent thought that they will imitate anyone or anything that appears on the t.v.??? i would argue that they are no more responsible for the consequences of their actions than is glenn beck. the difference? cute puppy vs. brutal murder.
WickedWitch: Thanks; alas, it’s the oldest gag in the world.
engulfedinflames: Greater responsibility lies with those possessing greater awareness.
Did I falsely remember Obama saying they were getting a shelter dog?
Brit Hume is already not a fan of the first dog. Watch his hilarious comments here:
http://gotchamedia.blogspot.com/2009/04/brit-hume-already-not-fan-of-bo-first.html
Well, I see at least the breeder is decent enough to be concerned.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2009031362_apobamadog.html
engulfedinflames: “i would argue that they are no more responsible for the consequences of their actions than is glenn beck.”
I’m not sure what to make of that statement. In other words you would argue for what I already agree with.
mjwilstein: Seriously, we’ve already got attacks on the dog from Hume, Gingrich, and god knows who else already. Tune in for Rush, where he reveals that like the rest of Obama’s appointees, Bo has unpaid taxes!! Har har har!
mjwilstein: What a hypocrite! Have you seen Brit’s dog??
http://i389.photobucket.com/albums/oo336/brontie2/adog.jpg
LittlePig: Oh, now I want potato chips. Thanks.
engulfedinflames: Change “cute puppy” to dead shelter dog. All these assclowns need is an idea, or the power of suggestion. A Portie breeder told me that he hoped the crappy economy would keep people from buying a $2000 puppy. (However, nothing will stop the backyard breeders and puppy mills.)
I just hope the Obamas become real dog-lovers out of this. (Teddy should have known better.)
Custerwolf: Did I falsely remember Obama saying they were getting a shelter dog?
YES!!1!!! YET ANOTHER BROKKEN PROMISE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!! WHY CANT THE NOOOOBAMAS GET AN AMERICNA DOG? WHERS THE DOGS BIRTHCERTIFICATE!!!! WHATS HE HIDING HALFBREED MUSLIN PORTOGEESE LIARZ!!!!1!!911 WHAKE UP SHEEPELS!!!
Lascauxcaveman: Just let him buy the fucking dog already, people.
Lascauxcaveman: Watch the movie “Shelter Dogs” on HBO, then get back to me.
While I haven’t actually seen the whole doc, I’ve had plenty of first-hand experience holding frightened dogs while they get the needle.
So, yeah. I’m pissed.
Zadig: Here’s a short story - carbon-copied a hundred times over in my experience. I tried desperately to convince my sister not to buy a Cairn terrier puppy from a breeder (oh, but they’re sooo cute). I explained my reasoning. She bought it anyway. She now HATES the dog, and she wants to give it up. The dog already displays the skin problems I forewarned her about and it’s not even 2 years old. That’s about the average mileage these fad dogs get before being dumped at shelters. Hopefully, Bo won’t succomb to Addison’s disease or juvenile cardiomyopathy (genetically predisposed for both). Why do I have a personal grudge? Because after having donated almost half my income for well over half my life trying to keep people from adding to the already staggering heap of shelter animals euthanized yearly This Just Bites.
Custerwolf: Some things, (unfortunately), are beyond snark.
DemmeFatale: Word.
Godot: Exactly. my. point.
