Barack Obama promised his adorable daughters that he would get them a puppy if he won the presidency (they would surely mention this fact more often if they really wanted to win). The American Kennel Club had a poll to decide what sort of dog Obama should get. (Of course, Obama should rescue a dog from a shelter and not select an expensive purebred, but whatevs.) The winner? A poodle. A little fucking girly elitist poodle! Who's responsible for this?
The fatcats at the AKC won't say!
In a national poll of 42,000 people, the Poodle narrowly edged past the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier as the top dog for the Obamas, the American Kennel Club (AKC) said.
"It is no surprise the American public chose a Poodle for Obama," said spokeswoman Lisa Peterson, adding the breed is the eighth most popular nationally and the third most common type of dog in Washington, D.C.
You can read this as a worrying indicator that GOP (and Maureen Dowd) attacks on Obama's perceived "elitism" are working, or you can blame OPERATION CHAOS!

40 year-old Beth Smith is the fifth wife of A&E reality star Duane Chapman, 55, aka “Dog The Bounty Hunter.” She runs Da Kine Bail Bonds in Hawaii with her husband, and appears with him on his reality show. “Dog The Bounty Hunter” has been renewed for a fifth season despite the controversy over Dog being caught on tape using the “n” word frequently in reference to his son’s new girlfriend, an African American. Duane repeatedly told his son over the phone that he didn’t want him to date a black woman because the cameras might catch him using the “n” word, as if he has no control over the hateful things that spew forth from his mullet-framed head once someone who isn’t white is in his vicinity.
Chapman’s classy wife has chimed in with her opinions of another wife of a reality star. Smith was seen in an official Dog The Bounty Hunter chatroom spouting off about Linda, calling her a “slut” and a “drinker.” It sounds like Smith has a unique login on the chatroom and that it is not easy to impersonate her. Smith was responding to Linda’s romance with a 19 year-old friend of her incarcerated son, Nick:
“I know she [Linda] told Terry she was gonna fix his ass,” Beth wrote in the “Dog” chat room, “but it looks to me like he looks like an angel and she looks like a slut.”
Beth also explained that her husband Duane “Dog” Chapman, and the Hulk are close pals who talk on the phone three times a week - and the two couples were once close.
“I used to really like Linda, but then we started to get to know her and she is a real drink,” Beth… wrote on the web site.
Access to the site, www.dogthebountyhunter.com is free, but fans can pay to enter a chat room visited by Chapman family members.
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 25, 2008]
If Dog is friends with Hulk Hogan, you can see why his wife would take Hulk’s side since he’s going through a divorce with Linda.
I haven’t seen more than a few clips of this show and can’t really judge if Beth is as trashy as she looks. She definitely looks like a low-rent version of Linda, though, and somehow it doesn’t surprise me that she knows her.

Duane "Dog" Chapman sure knows how to work it. He hit up trendy Hollywood club Crown Bar with his blonde bombshell wife, and donned an outfit that probably made Justin Timberlake jealous. The bounty hunter is definitely bringing sexy back with this getup - from the boots to the bling to the black button down that almost reveals his navel, he is one hot...dog. Arf.
Eh, they don't look much better from the back.
Wearing tight plaid pants with a white tanktop, Hilary Duff dropped by the California Animal Hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday (July 3).

The “Oh in Ohio” actress and furry friend were seen doing a photo shoot at a park in Los Angeles this past Wednesday looking so happy together.
Dressed in a blue and white striped top with black leggings, Lauren Conrad was spotted out bright and early on Wednesday morning (May 28).
The reality starlet was keeping fit with Hills co-star pal Lauren Bosworth - as the duo chatted it up while walking the pooch around the neighborhood.

Oh, Scores! They've just filed a lawsuit against the city of New York and the State Liquor Authority, saying that the police are corrupt! Actually, it's Scores West, the slightly trashier cousin of Scores East, the famous Howard Stern-patronized rumored-to-be-mobbed-up strip club, where some working gals were busted for prostitution last year. (Anecdotes I've heard from former Scores dancers confirm its place in hell.) The police probably are corrupt, but this is the same place that openly tolerates prostitution, and even had secret rooms in the Scores West location specifically for that purpose.
Commencing during the approximately twelve month period preceding January 24, 2007, corrupt New York City undercover police officers assigned to the Manhattan South Vice Enforcement Division began frequenting Scores West and abusing their authority: i) did not pay otherwise required admission fees; ii) consumed but did not pay for alcoholic beverages; and iii) consumed but did not pay for food.Oh noes! Anyway, Scores thinks the bust was a perfectly convenient set-up to begin proceedings to revoke their liquor license.

She’s been awfully busy lately with everything from working on her new album to rehearsing for Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards. But Miley Cyrus still made time to help out a family friend.
Yesterday, the “Hannah Montana” actress found out that a friend of her family had lost her Maltese pooch, and the news compelled her to action.
Dog the Bounty Hunter made his first post n-bomb appearance on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes". This is what we call the Sad Sack I Didn't Mean It That Way tour. And it's all such bullshit. Though he does put a new entry in the Revealed Racist's Ridiculous Excuse Handbook. He claims he considered himself to be black. Heh.
In his first TV appearance since his hit A&E show was shelved following the leak of an eight-month-old phone conversation with his son in which he liberally uses the N-word, Duane "Dog" Chapman tells Fox News that he has always felt a certain kinship with black people and, as for using the N-word, "never did it out of hate.""There's a special connection that I thought I had between me and black America," the emotional Dog the Bounty Hunter star told Fox's Hannity & Colmes. "And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.'
"In other words, my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that...so when I stood there and said, 'I kind of know what you feel like, because I've been there, too,' that I felt that I could embrace and like, as brothers...say the word."

Dog The Bounty Hunter’s very own son was the one that sold the racially explosive private phone conversation of the star, which has put him in the middle of a media firestorm and caused A&E to halt production on his reality show.
“I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner,” Dog’s attorny says, adding that the son sold the tape for “a lot” of money.
Stabbed in the back!

I can't believe someone who looks so sophisticated is a dumb bigot. Duane Chapman, aka "Dog The Bounty Hunter", won't be fronting the NAACP anytime soon. He's been caught on tape dropping the N-bomb. Repeatedly. So much so that Michael Richards is standing beside Al Sharpton and demanding an apology. Refusing to confirm your pregnancy and racist meltdowns were the celebrity trends of 2007!
In a shocking world exclusive The ENQUIRER has obtained tapes of two revolting phone conversations in which Duane "Dog" Chapman unleashes a filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults.The star of the A&E reality show "Dog, The Bounty Hunter" directed his racist hatred at his son Tucker's girlfriend Monique Shinnery, who is black.
n response to this story, A&E network has released a statement saying: "A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman. We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."

Dog the Bounty Hunter, the star of the A&E reality series of the same name that follows him capturing criminals who have jumped bail, was taped using the N word repeatedly while going off on his son for dating an African American woman.
Apparently Dog’s son taped a conversation with his dad and turned it in to the National Enquirer. When I first heard this story, I thought it was a simple case of the guy being racist, using the N word and telling his son not to date someone based on the color of her skin. It’s more complicated and stupid than that. The audio of the conversation is on TMZ, and Dog tries to tell his son not to date a black woman, not because he’s racist or anything, but because he’s afraid that someone is going to catch him using the N word around his son’s new girlfriend.
It sounds to me like the asshole gave his son the excellent idea of talking to the National Enquirer, my favorite trashy gossip rag, by telling him specifically that he feared that he would get turned into the Enquirer if someone heard him use the N word.
Here is the transcript of the audio, which is available on TMZ, in case you can’t listen at work or don’t want to subject yourself to this shit:
I’m not taking a chance on some motherf-bleep- I don’t care if she’s a Mexican, a whore, whatever, it’s not cause she’s black it’s because we use the word nigger sometimes here. I’m not going to take a chance ever in life losing everything I worked for for 30 years cause some f-bleep- nigger heard us say nigger and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over. If Lise was dating a nigger we would all say f-bleep- you and you know that. If Lisa brought a black guy home yeah (unintelligible) and it’s not that they’re black it’s none of that, it’s that we use the word nigger we don’t mean you f-bleep-ing scum nigger without a soul, we don’t mean that shit, but America would think we mean that.
[Transcribed from the audio available on TMZ]
So, in Dog’s twisted logic, he could lose his entire career because he can’t stop using the most foul racist term and that it would be his son’s fault for having a black girlfriend. Does the word just spew out of his mouth without his knowledge when a black person gets in his vicinity? The guy must have tourettes.
I just love that Dog’s son turned the tape over to the Enquirer after his dad said he feared losing his career if that happened.
It looks like all of Dog’s concerns could be coming to fruition. A&E has announced that it has suspended production on his reality series until they thoroughly investigate the matter. You know they’re just talking to their lawyers and trying to figure out how to tie up all the lose ends before dropping the guy.
Meanwhile Dog has asked esteemed Reverend Al Sharpton to help him, and has retained the African American pastor that performed his last marriage to speak on his behalf. He has also released a statement saying how sorry he is. The pastor makes sure we know that Dog has gone to black churches “to help inner-city kids” before all this happened. I wonder if he used the N word in front of the little kids, because he pretty much told his son that it just comes out without his knowledge when black people are around. Was he uttering it under his breath repeatedly while he was taking his vows?
Duane Dog Chapman has screwed up again, this time resulting in A&E suspending his tv show. The National Enquirer broke this story Wednesday with a recording of phone conversation between Dog and his son Tucker. Apparently, Big Dog Daddy don’t want an African American daughter-in-law. Dog’s racial slurs were so bad that he has had to call the Rev. Al Sharpton and beg him to accept his apology. (Because it would make it all ok if the Rev says its ok. )
A&E’s statement:
“We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action.”
Chapmans apology:
“My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation. It was completely taken out of context. I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term. I have the utmost respect and aloha for black people – who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred. I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world. I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.
“In Hawaii, we have something called Ho’oponopono, where people come together to resolve crises and restore peace and balance. I am meeting with my spiritual advisor, Rev. Tim Storey, and hope to meet with other black leaders so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again.
“I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing. I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me. We learn from our mistakes, as my story of overcoming a life of crime has proven, and I will learn from this one for the rest of my life.”
On Friday, we heard that today's New York mag piece on former New York Times reporter and kiddie pornographer-buster of sorts Kurt Eichenwald was being awaited with great anticipation inside the Times. Well, let the anticlimax begin! We had hoped for more.
1. Eichenwald is in a terrible way; he feels pursued by kiddie porn enthusiasts, though no actual reasons for his concern are mentioned, which we suppose is the point. Gosh, he sounds paranoid!
2. A totally interesting rehash of the Justin Berry story.
3. Eichenwald is a real dick in edits! Unlike, you know, most of those other well-established male star journalists.
4. It's like the legal department removed a page of the story?
5. "Now Eichenwald is in a trap at least partly of his own making, and he sees danger everywhere. 'I was told these people are relentless, that they never stop,' he tells me in his Dallas office. 'That they will torture you till you are destroyed or dead,' he says. 'I put my son at risk! Because I chose to save somebody else's kid! Do you have any idea how guilty I feel?' He thought about installing a panic button in the house or buying a gun. Instead, he got a second dog. 'A three-legged dog was not enough protection,' he confided a few days ago."
