“A White House press official was certain—the scoop on the poop was a crock. The press office checked with the Air Force One flight crew who said Bo had not desecrated the jet. Other big news beckoned: the health-care overhaul, rising unemployment and a debate over the war in Afghanistan. But we were nagged by a question—was the pile denial a White House cover up?” This is Peggy Noonan’s most prescient column yet. [PULITZER BAIT]

Oh, poo.

AbstinenceOnly Ed October 13, 2009 at 6:57 pm

The Wall Street Journal would be perfect for picking that up! Who said print media is dead?

I cannot believeth it has been seven whole minutes and no one hath commenteth. I lurk for the funny, people. Bring it. I command you! (<–”You” being used as the plural of “thee” as opposed to the plain old “you” that the great unwashed among us use.)

He who felt it dealt it. He who shoe-ed it pooed it. He who thumped it dumped it. He who filed it piled it.

Coverup! Original headline:
“Did the First Dog Leave a Number Two on The One?”
–Disgusted with his ‘Master’ on the health care issue, Bo Obama desecrated the…

Fitting this came from the WSJ; are they volunteering their rag for helping with Whitehousebreaking? A dog wouldn’t even shit on that.

Aflac Shrugged October 13, 2009 at 7:05 pm

I complain to WSJ’s subscription department about their political coverage being total bullshit, and look how they responded!

Free markets, folks. They work.

Why is it that when a dog defecates, one of the things people say is “he disgraced himself.”

Nobody said that about Rush Limbaugh when he shit the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom.

“The press office checked with the Air Force One flight crew who said Bo had not desecrated the jet.”

Bo knows Photoshop.

Sharkey October 13, 2009 at 7:13 pm

What’s next, Bo joins the mile high club?

EdFlinstone October 13, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Today we all shit on the Wall Street Journal. Imagine the meeting in the assignment room. Jones—find on whats going on with the healtcare bill, Smith—see whats up with the Afghanistan troop decision, Williamson—find out if Bo dropped a deuce on air force 1. Her parents must be proud of that journalism degree.

Sharkey October 13, 2009 at 7:17 pm

Wrap this up, I’ll take it. And put a Bo on top.

ScaredShitless October 13, 2009 at 7:17 pm

From the WSJ:

“About Washington Wire: …the Wire provides a succession of glimpses at what’s happening behind hot stories and warnings of what to watch for in the days ahead.”

God save us.

It was a petrified shit Dubya took a few years ago. Dumbasses.

Better headline: Bo Gives New Meaning to “Taking a Growler”

Political Insight and Analysis from the Wall Street Journal’s Capital Bureau

Just savor the phrase — say it two or three times in a gravelly baritone

bopumofu October 13, 2009 at 7:24 pm

Arguably if it’s political insight there should be any haedlines ending in question marks

Come here a minute October 13, 2009 at 7:25 pm

I’ll try door number 3, Monty.

Bo Obama poops rainbow-colored Pla-Doh pellets.

Bruno October 13, 2009 at 7:35 pm

First Obambi desecrates the Oval office by not wearing a tie. And now he is using your tax dollars to clean up his dogs poopee on AF1. I have no choice but to choose teabaggin

Redhead October 13, 2009 at 7:35 pm

Oh no, a puppy may have had an accident somewhere! The horrors! Someone call the Mighty Maid, stat – and tell her to bring the sanitizer of doom! (That’s what the red phone is really for, you know)

No, there wasn’t shit on the floor, “Love Happens” was the in flight movie.

Rotundo October 13, 2009 at 7:47 pm

Ah yes, the eagle eye of the media, trained upon the powerful elites to keep the citizenry abreast of the um, bowel movements of a puppy? Glad they’re focused on the important stuff, I am sure all of us have been on pins and needles waiting for a report on this breaking news. Thanks modern news media! If you don’t have our backs, at least you have the backside of a puppy in your sights. Is the next big event going to be “The Neutering of Bo-Live Coverage of the Snippage of the Presidents’ Dogs’ Balls”?

MzNicky October 13, 2009 at 7:50 pm

WSJ, dogshit. Yeah, so?

Rotundo October 13, 2009 at 7:53 pm

Our analysis of the “dropping” sample revealed a Barbie foot, several Crayola crayons in a variety of colors and several kernels of what appeared to be corn slipped to Bo from the Obama children. Here with a detailed discussion is the Whitehouse Doctor of Veterinary Medicine….

PoignancySelz October 13, 2009 at 7:59 pm

This wasn’t a stimulus package was it?

Darkness October 13, 2009 at 8:03 pm

Proof that when the random chaos of the human and natural world does not spew forth something of modestly amusing note, the press will simply make shit up to avoid covering the real issues of the day.

Alpha O. Mega October 13, 2009 at 8:18 pm

[re=433837]Sharkey[/re]: Doggie style, presumably.

hobospacejunkie October 13, 2009 at 8:39 pm

No doubt Chip Reid is all over this important story. Weird how this “story” breaks on the day the finance committee fucktards vote on their travesty of a giveaway to the insurance industry. Totally a coincidence, I’m sure.

Jumping Jim October 13, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Did anyone explain to Bo that the Number 0ne Rule is do not shit when on the tour bus!

Maybe that’s the #2 rule…

AxmxZ October 13, 2009 at 9:50 pm

Rahm: “So. About that pile of shit on the floor. That was the dog.”
Reporter: “But, sir, with all due respect, that pile is at least half his size.”
Rahm: “It was the dog.”
Reporter: “Sir, where were you seated during the flight in question?”
Rahm: “I want to see you take out a motherfucking pen and write in large, legible letters on your motherfucking pad: it – was – the – dog.”
Reporter: “Sir, all I want is an honest…”
Rahm: “IT WAS THE DOG, YOU SCUMBAG!!”

This person has way,WAAAY too much time on her hands

The biggest piece of shit that was ever on Air Force One now resides in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas.

zhubajie October 14, 2009 at 2:02 am

Didn’t the WSJ used to concentrate on matters of importance, like the US economy?

TGY October 14, 2009 at 10:24 am

If the Foo shits, wear it.

Gopherit October 14, 2009 at 11:25 am

this is funny, because I always wondered how Dubya managed to avoid shitting on the floor of AF 1 on long flights. Not like numbnuts was ever potty trained by Bar.

Min October 14, 2009 at 11:53 am

Must be a crappy day for news.

OzoneTom October 15, 2009 at 7:03 pm

If it wasn’t Bo then who was it?
