There's been quite a hullabaloo about the First Dog, Barney, having bitten a White House reporter today.
All I can say is, the video speaks for itself, and my fellow canine is getting a raw deal.
Clearly, this is yet another case of the "gotcha" media doing what it does best: entrapping innocent victims into a situation where they come off poorly, all for the sake of ratings. Disgusting!
Poor Barney had a rough week: he stayed up late watching the Election Results Tuesday night, and spent the last two days helping President Bush choose the transition team that will assist the new First Dog assume his or her new role after the 2009 Inauguration.
As I'm sure you've heard, the Obamas plan to get a puppy to bring with them to the White House in January. So, not only does Barney have to move out of his palatial digs, he does so with the knowledge that he is being replaced with some young whippersnapper who probably isn't even housebroken. The idea of the furniture in the Lincoln bedroom being chewed to bits is weighing heavily on Barney's mind. Is it any wonder that the taunting, high-pitched shrieks of "Here Barney, look here, look HERE!" from those pesky reporters put him over the edge?
Plus, it's clear from the video that it was just a wee little nip of that guy's index finger. He BARELY broke the skin, for heaven's sakes. Trust me, if Barney had wanted to, he could have taken that guy's finger clean off.
Much ado about nothing, I tell you.
See the Video HERE and judge for yourself.
