Why Not Barney, the Bush Family Dog?
Now that Condi Rice has been promoted over to the State Department, it’s time to look for her replacement as National Security Adviser. And actually, with cabinet officers fleeing like rats off a sinking ship, there are also a few cabinet posts to be filled. And that got me thinking, why not Barney, the Bush family dog?
Now some might say that Barney, an amiable Terrier, might lack some of the qualifications needed to be national Security Advisor or maybe Secretary of Commerce. But I would argue that Barney has exactly the right talents for success in the Bush Whitehouse: Blind obedience and unquestioning loyalty.
It surely can’t be competence the president is looking for, or heads surely would have rolled by now. Just take a look at Condi’s record with help from the American Progress Action Fund.
How much worse could Barney be?
I think he is perfect. He can sit, fetch, and roll-over. He will probably even lick your hand, or whatever.
How do you think Condi got the job?
