Pit Bull Peeps to Would-Be Veep: Leave Our Breed Out of It!

Oddly, the McCain Campaign's response to a request for comment was "Gov. Palin does in fact have one thing in common with a pitbull: neither is capable of answering questions from reporters." Doesn't seem like something they'd be proud of.

Has any reporter ever attempted to interview a Pit Bull? I suspect Daddy, Ceser Milan's famous Pit Bull would be willing to do a press conference.

The GOP has lost the Pitbull Anti-Defamation League. Someone call this election, already. Game over, man; game over.

One of my parents owns a pit bull. And, while I love the dog to death, the difference between an angry pit bull and an angry teacup yorkie is that one is capable of killing a full-grown man when its frightened/angry. That's not to say that the Pitbull Anti-Defamation League has no need to exist, but let's pick our battles, guys.

Yes

But "Golden Retriever" doesn't quite roll off the tongue like "Pit Bull". ;) Hell, the things have "pit" and "bull" in their name.

Sorry, I really don't mean to be insensitive to Pit Bull owners, but I do think it's a bit disingenous to paint them and other dogs historically bred for particularly aggresive and physical tasks as the same as every other average domesticated breed.

18:12:59 lambert Simple answers to simple questions: Yes.
18:00:47 BDBlue That's true on healthcare, but I was talking about the Fed bill. When the WH surrogates try to water it down, will the blogs fall in line?
16:32:33 lambert They'll pass something, anything. They need to declare victory.
15:40:03 BDBlue Re VL's post on the A-list, it will be interesting to watch the discussion of the bill on the blogs as the WH inevitably tries to kill it via various surrogates. Will we see the veal pen in action? And I agree this bill is potentially huge.
13:36:52 lambert Agree on Ron Paul and the Fed.
13:23:52 brucedixon interesting.... Glen tells me that neither the fake "jobs summit" nor the familiar wailing of conyers about his being disappointed with the prez are the big story. the most important thing happening in DC right now is the Ron Paul bill which wd require the Fed to be audited.
13:57:03 brucedixon I think my colleague Glen Ford is writing on it this week in BAR so I will just co-sign whatever he says.
22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.
