WTF? Our Tax dollars are paying for *this*?

[Sannum]

www.barney.gov

A government site for a friggin' DOG? I do realize he is probably the most intelligent member of the Bush family, and could probably tell great stories about Bunnypants staggering around the house shitfaced drunk, but this is ridiculous!

1. If I didn't have some level of confidence that the WH staff --

-- who likely hate * as much as anyone, surely missing the good old days of cleaning and cooking for the Clintons and Reagans -- take fine care of Barney, we'd all be obliged to call the ASPCA.

2. I like Barney.

Highest IQ in the White House.

[neweurope]

3. Just wait - there's probably more coming. Caligula...

...thought he was a god and wanted to make his horse Consul...

:eyes:

[htuttle]

11. I thought that's what the Kerik appointment was about

Making his horse consul, that is.

:evilgrin:

4. Millie redux

It worked for Babs and Poppy, they figure it'll be a hit for them. There's little these jokers do that isn't a warmed over retread of the Reagan/Bush years.

5. hahahha

I didn't know he had his own domain.

6. I Feel Sorry For Barney

Barney is a darling little dog, and shouldn't have to live with those awful people. That they have pets doesn't make them seem more 'human' to me - it makes me sad for the animals.

7. Barney is the only Bush I like

[merwin]

8. I second that n/t

[Deja Q]

9. Probably designed in India too, no doubt. You know, to be respectful of

the American taxpayer. :eyes:

Fuck 'em all, this is a true joke that demeans the Presidency, fiscal responsibility, dignity, you name it. Everything the Chimpazoid* says he is but acts the opposite of. Bingo, Barney is his name-o.

[Skittles]

10. it's a matter of public interest

instead of spending lots of money responding to inquries about Barney (they do get a lot) they've sent up a site to be directed to.

[sans qualia]

12. How Nixon-esque

When Bush gets in trouble for his massive misappropriation of public money, do you think he will invoke Barney?

[nostamj]

13. FREE BARNEY!

[fryguy]

14. what a dumb looking, inbred little thing living in our white house

but at least the dog is cute...

[jmowreader]

15. It's a redirect, and it can't be all that expensive

The actual URL is whitehouse.gov/barney--just a directory on the White House webserver.

I bet they don't have $500 in that whole directory.

Y'all think you have a crappy job. There are worse ones, and one of the very worst is being Shrub's webmaster. Your job is to make the Village Idiot look good. This would be the perfect job for a freeper, but the absence of typos and bad hillbilly grammar makes it clear that the webmaster isn't a freeper.

The man needs some release. They don't let him shoot heroin, so making a website about the only smart Bush is his catharsis.

16. OMG, watch the Barney Cam movie

BWAAAHAAAAA!

What crap! Check out Bush pointing his finger in Barney's face and telling him he can't be in his cabinet .....OMG
