That dog has a giant head, but unlike Newt's it's black. Gingrich has a black heart though.

The collar is a nice touch.

So cute, and a fun jab at the Mittster's puking shitting roof dog. I've always wondered if I should get a pup, and now I know: yes, once I have an armored motorcade.

@4, you're joking, right? Like that motorcade is ever going to get into an accident. That's probably the safest spot on the planet.

Slow news day? You could write about the fact that in Ontario, where Catholic schools are funded with public money, the church-controlled school board is forcing gay-straight alliance groups to become "Respecting Differences Clubs":

bo should be in a seat belt harness or a crate. therefore, obama = hitler + stalin + mao.

OH MY GOD OBAMA IS STRANGLING HIS DOG!!!

@8 There may be a glass of red wine on the armrest next to him. Smoothest ride in town.

So the proper way is in a chokehold? TMYK.

Aww shucks, it reminds me of this: http://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=1087…

@17 Really?
You are a stupid fuck - you know that don't you?

Posted by Senor Guy on January 30, 2012 at 5:32 PM

@17: Congratulations, you lose!

Posted by Greg on January 30, 2012 at 5:46 PM

@17: HOLY SHIT! Both of those pictures are of guys holding dogs and looking at things!

Hitler ended up poisoning his dog just to make sure the cyanide pills really worked. I hate to use vulgar language, but Hitler was a real asshole.

Oh, and I should add that when Mr. Vel-DuRay and I take the portable version of Chez Vel-DuRay on the road, all four noble beasts come with us (the cat stays home. He doesn't care for travel) and they all have free roam of the Itasca. The senior dog takes his place on the lap of the person on the passenger side, which is usually me.

@17 - of course it reminds you, the guy you posted us your hero right? I imagine you're predisposed to looking for such associations.

Also, diaf.

I'm so glad everyone can't stop talking about something that's over 10 months away.

Posted by myles72 on January 30, 2012 at 11:57 PM

so snide comments about the desk phone on the seat next to him? pretty sure humphrey bogart had a sweeter car phone as linus larrabee in 1954. it just looks so out of place...i'm going to be humming "one of these things is not like the other" the rest of the day, i think.
