Rush Limbaugh steps into dog mess

Last edited Wed Apr 18, 2012, 05:31 PM - Edit history (1)

Rush Limbaugh barked at President Barack Obama on Wednesday for eating dog meat when he was young, and laced into the Obama campaign for “trying to make hay” out of Mitt Romney having forced the family dog to ride on the roof of his car three decades ago.

“This makes me really, really uncomfortable,” Limbaugh said on his radio show. “You’ve probably heard the outrage — the Romneys putting their dog on the roof of their car in an enclosed kennel back in 1983 and heading down the highway, which apparently is a fact so horrible, the Democrats have created a website and a fundraising organization around this. Meanwhile, the Obamas are showing their love for dogs.”


Limbaugh accused the Obama camp of exploiting Bo Obama — the first family’s Portuguese Water Dog — for “all kinds of fundraising drives,” while seizing every opportunity to criticize Romney for once making his now-deceased dog Seamus ride on the roof of the car during a trip from Boston to Ontario in 1983.

“As I say, this makes me extremely uncomfortable,” Limbaugh continued, according to a transcript of his show. “But it’s got to be discussed because Obama’s trying to make hay out of the Romneys putting their beloved dog on the roof of the car in a kennel. And now Obama, in his own autobiography, writes of having eaten dog.”

shit--monkey, dog, rabbit, frog, you name it, and sometimes inadvertently. If you're a little kid, you eat what you're given, it's not like you have a choice. As an adult, you can play the part-time vegetarian game.

Unfortunately the one person in my family who made that retired from that a couple years before her passing.

I've had some stuff I'd as soon forget, but I have never had squirrel to my knowledge--and I could go ten lifetimes without trying it.

My dogs have all been eager to give it a go--they'd chase the squirrels to Canada if they could!
