Crack Politico Investigative Reporters Discover ‘The Real Bo Obama’

by Jack Stuef  

This is what your ballot will look like on November 2.Important news! According to Politico, Obama has a relative named “Bo Obama” who — no, wait, they’re talking about that fucking dog. Never mind. This publication put two whole reporters to work tracking down that dog’s trainer, because they are a newspaper that concerns itself with governmental affairs. And they called this article “THE REAL BO OBAMA,” as it’s important for journalists to look into the backgrounds of those who serve in our government as animals who shit on the White House lawn. How big is this story? Politico‘s featured poll on their website asks, “Do you think Bo Obama is a good dog?” That is the question we are all asking ourselves less than two weeks before the midterm elections.

It’s hard to imagine that anyone in the White House has poor training, including the first dog. Even Caroline Kennedy’s pony Macaroni behaved himself on Pennsylvania Avenue. Could it be that Bo is the first four-legged rebel roaming the grounds?

Nonsense, said Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz. She should know: She has helped train the first dog since before his days at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. (Click here to see a slideshow of Bo Obama.)

Oh, good thing they put that parenthetical in the middle of this article. Otherwise we might not find that “slideshow of Bo Obama.” And that would mean we would have moved on with our lives without seeing some old news photos of the president’s fucking dog, and how would we be able to look in the mirror every morning knowing that?

Yet, there was work to be done. “I wanted to sharpen up his house-training skills so he could clearly give me a signal that he needed to go potty,” she said

Oh, so, like, this dog was a dog. News. [Politico]

Real Americans french kiss and write on their dogs.

Timely Edit: Or teach it to say grace.

I'm pretty sure Bo is not the President's fucking dog. Bo was spayed.

Come here a minute October 21, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Now President Obama truly wishes that he could say, in regard to his coverage in the Politico news pamphlet, "They talk about me like a dog."

EdFlintstone October 21, 2010 at 3:39 pm

I dont know whats dumber, the story or the comments on this story at Politico. I think it maybe time to unleash the Wonkette dogs on Politico.

DashboardBuddha October 21, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Jesus Dollar Christ! I read the comments and now I'm worse off for it.

BornInATrailer October 21, 2010 at 3:46 pm

Arrgh, now I've done the same. Must not let button be pushed so easily.

JoshuaNorton October 21, 2010 at 3:58 pm

Who was George Bush?

Lucidamente1 October 21, 2010 at 4:02 pm

No, sorry, that was *on* purpose.

Guckert2_0 October 21, 2010 at 4:00 pm

Who was Eleanor Roosevelt?

RedNM October 21, 2010 at 4:11 pm

Who was Gerald Ford?

EdFlintstone October 21, 2010 at 4:15 pm

Too easy. Who is David Vitter.

metamarcisf October 21, 2010 at 5:27 pm

Thanks to all our contestants. The correct question, of course is:

Who was Walter Mondale?

Note that the final jeopardy answer included the word "accidentally".

Gomez571 October 22, 2010 at 9:33 am

Dogs of this age don't ever accidentally shit. They shit exactly when they need to shit.

SimonGirty October 21, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Here, sign a petition to the president of the United States of America to esquire as to why his dog is the auntie Chris' mooslim mongrul: http://prayinjesusname.org/

Lucidamente1 October 21, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Do the right thing: have Jim VandeHei spayed and neutered now.

horsedreamer_1 October 21, 2010 at 9:20 pm

His face shoved in a toilet, fetid & filled past flushing with feces, syringes, & condoms — think Trainspotting meets the Big Lebowski — is my preferred torture for that subhuman.

GuyClinch October 21, 2010 at 3:42 pm

Who's a stupid political rag?! Who's a stupid political rag?! WHO'S A STUPID POLITICAL RAG?!!? YES! You are, Politico!

This settles it. The next time I'm in DC, I'm going to stop by Politicos office, say Hi, ask to use the john, then take a big dump, on journalism.

CapeClod October 21, 2010 at 3:43 pm

I think I'm going to create a vitual birdcage and line it with The Politico.

CapnFatback October 21, 2010 at 3:44 pm

"Oh look, Politico thinks they're people!"

Gratuitous World October 21, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Do You Believe Politico Is A Legitimate News Source?

a. Yes! – All White HOuse Correspondents Dinner All The Time
b. Maybe – Sometimes the Post is just too edgy.
c. No – I only use the print version to train my frisky dog.
d. Fuck off, hacks.

PocketsTheClown October 21, 2010 at 3:56 pm

Well, if they hired Triumph to freelance this one, I'd say d-b=POOP ON.

Good god, the Villagers can even concern troll about a fucking dog. "Is Bo Obama a well-intentioned, well-trained and well-groomed first pup? Or a rascally pooch running circles around the president? Cesar Millan, the so-called Dog Whisperer, thinks the latter."

I've said it before (3 minutes ago), I'll say it again: have Jim VandeHei spayed and neutered now.

BornInATrailer October 21, 2010 at 3:59 pm

In an alternate universe, this article covers all the time our prez has personally spent training Bo. The comments chastise him for playing with a dog while the economy crumbles.

In yet another, he hasn't gotten a dog and he's a bad father since the kids are obviously going to see their father less frequently.

In still yet another, Obama snaps and beats Jim VandeHei to death using Bo's (ultimately lifeless) body as a bludgeon. I want to be in this last universe.

JMPEsq October 21, 2010 at 3:46 pm

I would hope Bo is paper trained; specifically trained to shit on the print edition of the Politico.

elviouslyqueer October 21, 2010 at 3:47 pm

About the only thing I got from the article is that Bo, Politico, and its commenters are all full of shit.

SexySmurf October 21, 2010 at 3:48 pm

“I wanted to sharpen up his house-training skills so he could clearly give me a signal that he needed to go potty,”

That quote is actually from a profile of David Vitter

SayItWithWookies October 21, 2010 at 3:49 pm

Oh, it's Bo — when you said Politico was investigating who craps on the White House lawn I thought it was going to be about Chuck Todd.

Pop_Socket October 21, 2010 at 3:50 pm

I lost 10 IQ points just reading that article and I don't have that many to spare.

PublicLuxury October 21, 2010 at 3:51 pm

Bo Obama is really not a dog. That is Bristol Palin in a dog suit. Bristol Palin is not toilet trained so she shits and pisses on everything. Sarah has been upset about this. They hired Greta Van Cistern to train her butt. . .

Next thing you know, there she is on DWTS in a gorilla suit. The very next day a photographer caught Sarah giving Bristol a kiss and writing on her furry tummy.

I'm worried folks… This dawg just won't get trained… Perhaps spay is required or a catheter

mumbly_joe October 21, 2010 at 3:56 pm

If Bo Obama was really the Obama’s dog, then why won’t they release the long-form pedigree certificate certifying this fact? And why am I the only person asking these questions?

NOBOBAMA.

If Bo Obama is really a dog, then where's his long-form pedigree certificate proving it? And why am I the only person asking these questions?

After browsing that article, I found myself breathing through my mouth. Coincidence?

ManchuCandidate October 21, 2010 at 3:57 pm

If Politico were a dog, it would be my neighbor's dog. A small little yappy (which only barks on a quiet sunday morn while one is trying to read and enjoy a quiet morn) mutt that humps legs and pisses on feet and whose owner one would like to take out with a Mk79 Grenade Launcher with HE fragmentation rounds.

PublicLuxury October 21, 2010 at 4:04 pm

Bad dog

Amo_of_Bogio October 21, 2010 at 4:00 pm

Never mind that dog – I'm gobsmacked to learn about a pony called Macaroni!

Lucidamente1 October 21, 2010 at 4:23 pm

He was, like, um, my favorite, you know, memory from, you know, childhood.

Chet Kincaid October 21, 2010 at 4:42 pm

Nicely done.

You young whippersnapper.

V572625694 October 21, 2010 at 4:04 pm

It's such a bitch to say something funny when the article being goofed on is already a parody of itself.

Sepatown! October 21, 2010 at 4:05 pm

What could be more "real" than a dog? What were they looking for? A drug habit? Nothing that takes a crap while starring right at you has any guile.

Maladjusted_We October 21, 2010 at 4:07 pm

I find this article lacking an appropriate picture of a Bo costume.

Id hit that.

gurukalehuru October 21, 2010 at 4:15 pm

The name "Politico" implies that the site is about politics. Maybe they should rename it "Bolitico."

ttommyunger October 21, 2010 at 4:29 pm

No, guru, they should rename Politico: "Cheney's Direct Pipeline to the Fucktards". BTW, haven't heard from the Dark Lord lately; we can only hope mad scientists worldwide have converged on his undisclosed location to try and revive his finally lifeless corpse; and I mean that in the nicest possible way ;)

JMPEsq October 21, 2010 at 4:29 pm

But does Bo know Didley?

Limeylizzie October 21, 2010 at 4:44 pm

OK, I signed up on Politico just so I could tell these morons that they are morons, but which of you little devils also goes by the name "TeaNutz"?

EdFlintstone October 21, 2010 at 5:05 pm

Raises hand, damn that submit button is sensitive over there didnt mean to post the same thing multiple times. Friggin button is just as fucked up as their reporters. I missed the time our dear leader Mr Layne sicked us on FoxNews website, one of the funniest days ever on wonkette.

Limeylizzie October 21, 2010 at 5:14 pm

They were so many Wonkette dog whistle memes on those posts…hover-rounds, truck-nutz, and I especially enjoyed the reference to Bo's AKC bona fides.

EdFlintstone October 21, 2010 at 5:28 pm

My profile over there is set to public, I think I got it about right.

OneYieldRegular October 21, 2010 at 4:44 pm

Sounds like it's time for staff retraining at Politico, starting with a mandatory screening of "Mondo Cane."

An_Outhouse October 21, 2010 at 5:19 pm

As long as Bo isn't one of those tea party dogs that feels compelled to roll around in stinky shit.

snoopyfan2010 October 21, 2010 at 8:19 pm

What? No picture of Bo being kissed by a political celebrity???

horsedreamer_1 October 21, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Wouldn't be any worse than what he's fantasized about doing to Mika & Barnicle while sitting across them on the Morning Joe set.

Let's start a rumour that Mike Allen is a coprophiliac. Sing it!

horsedreamer_1 October 21, 2010 at 9:26 pm

Given Bo was a gift of Ted Kennedy to the new President & First Family, did the writer attempt to pin Chappaquiddick on Bo?

'Water-dog, my ass. Had this so-called water-dog truly been capable at sea, Mary Jo would still be alive'.
