Unfortunately, I did check out each link. In summation, each self-professed A list rightwing blogger uses their valuable space to report on the new first dog. Oh, and to whine about the left wing media using their space to report on the new first dog. Although I’m not sure I can pin that on Althouse as her screed is completely incoherent, even by her White Zinfandel fueled standards. No fucking clue what she is squawking about.

Althouse:

A black family calling their dog bo.
That sounds vaguely familiar.
Lets see, I’ll check the urban dictionary, cause you know, black, urban,slang, it’s all exotic to me.

Hmm, diddling, I wonder if the Obamaz know about that?

Not sure why anybody in the world, other than the Obamas, even gives a shit about their dog, but the rightard reaction is absolutely ludicrous and completely typical.

I think Ms. MalKKKin is also getting an emergency bile transfusion as well. I think she is going through it faster than the human body can produce it since the election. I do believe she will need a transplant to augment production soon.

I thought Malkin was out having bionic legs installed, so she could get more than an inch off the ground in her next cheerleader vid.

As for the dog…Bo knows poop. And he seems to have inspired a lot of it.

Hey, u left out CheKKKers and King TimaWhore! I always hoped King Timahoe would turn and savage his phlbetic legs or else bite off his tiny sac. The cocker, I didn’t expect much. Blood on the beach in San KKKlemente along with wet wingtipz. Setter coulda done that.

They are left with nothing other than insulting the choice of dog the President has chosen for his 2 young daughter’s.
BTW- When the last President’s two daughters went to Mexico for a booze (and drug and sex?) fling, no one on the right said a word.

This is what you have to critisize? The DOG!
Seriously??? Seriously!!!

I love this…Ive wondered how much more hate and criticism Laura, et al could generate. You’ve got it: endless and mean and irrelevant. Keep calling them at their spiteful, petty game. Maybe Tammy Bruch will sub for Laura…more spite and pettiness. Birds of a feather…;)

I don’t think they have to worry about Bo being an ornament – a full grown one of that breed looks to be the size of a baby elephant. Barney, on the other hand, was an ornament and had the good sense to bite a reporter.

This is a non-issue why are we even discussing it ?

Ps one of my dogs is also named Bo so I may be somewhat biased

My dog is named Beau. Actually, my dog is named Wally. I just wanted to say that.

Are we supposed to feel relieved that they are not–as Rush Limbaugh did to poor, adolescent Chelsea Clinton–comparing any member of the Obama family to a dog. (Remember that “White House dog” ref that Rush bravely tried to blame on an anonymous staffer?)

Come on, there’s a Torah portion named “Bo”! It’s a perfectly good name!

Dugg right here — please join me!

My dog is named Beau too! Actually, I don’t have a dog, but if I did….

Biden named his kid Beau

I read some of their comments and wondered, did these folks learn to write coherently while they were in school, or did they take Stupidity 101 instead of English 101?

I love it. Bo is black, white, and rainbow colored. Perfect!

John Cole over at Balloon Juice called this early this morning:

Good advice, which will never be taken by anyone, anywhere, for any reason.

“do not
fall in trap of criticizing people
who do nothing else but criticize.”

-Bob Dylan, “Advice For Geraldine On Her Miscellaneous Birthday”

Only a conservative could hate a puppy because it belongs to a liberal.

Btw, our very first family dog, a beagle, was named Bo. *sniff*

Love the bile duct enlargement and wine-filled easter egg references.

The best name evah for a dog- Roast Beef.

A three year old little boy in our neighborhood asked his dad about their new puppy.
The dad said. “He is a furious beast.” The little boy said, “A roast beef?!”

And my first cat was Sunshine….I loved your post, so I just wanted to say that. Thanks.

Malachy Mccort’s A Monk Swimming comes from those famous rosary words: amongst women.

Like “Socks” during the Clinton years, Gannon/Guckert has probably coughed on up quite a few hairballs. Hey, he’s the perfect spokeshole for the Tea Baggers!

Oh, they’re already going after the youngest First Daughter. Is nothing sacred?!?

Actually, the Freepers are. As quoted in a comment thread over at John Cole’s, something about not being able to call Michelle “the dog in the White House anymore”.

Me, I don’t even like dogs much (at least until I start to trust them, which happens occasionally, but as a species I like to avoid them. A dog attack and rabies shots at a formative age will do this for you) *or* kids (Don’t ask, but it’s not dissimilar) and I’m still hard pressed to look at this story and do anything other than go “Awwwww.”

That is such good advice; I have become a completely ranting driver. I have not always been, but the ranter has moved in. I may need an intervention

As someone who bicycles hundreds of miles on country roads every year, I’m not fond of dogs either. My only hope is that they start chasing me on the downhill.

Surber, a WV disgrace. Right up there with Joe Machin and mountaintop removal. Who even reads him.

Move on, there’s nothin’ is new here.

The Conservatives have no compassion for people – so why would we expect them to show any tolerance for a cute little furry creature and the sweet children that cherish their new pet?

The American public has always had a fascination with White House pets; FDR’s Fala, LBJ’s beagles, Jerry Ford’s Liberty,

You forgot Teddy Roosevelt’s Josiah — the President’s pet badger . . .

As the employee/caretaker of a standard poodle, I am bitterz that they didn’t bring home a spoo. Think of all the awesome comedic stylings of Malkin et al. A poodle! Oh well. I just hope they don’t ask Mitt Romney for dog care advice.

The dog is not only European, it’s a fuggin Kennedy. Oh, Fortune! We have grist for our mill for years to come.

Althouse still seems to approach attempts at being humorous in the manner of an extraterrestrial who has spent many years on our planet and is able to approximate the style of a humorous person fairly well, but still finds humor to be exasperatingly elusive, particularly the crucial “laughing [with|at] you” distinction.

Must comment on the brilliance of “Allahu Akbark”; didn’t want that gem to go unrewarded!
