Tale of two dogs aims to boost Bush's popularity
Assailed by falling poll ratings, a bloody conflict in Iraq and a wave of political scandal, President George W Bush has asked the White House pets to bolster his fading popularity.

The presidential Scottish Terriers, Miss Beazley and Barney, have been transformed into a Christmas film by a video now showing on the White House website.

The slickly produced, though none-too-gripping 10-minute drama is a tale of canine sibling rivalry.

.......

"Both of you are an important part of our family," the president says. "And you have to remember the true meaning of the holiday season. Now you two run on." Mr Bush's words do the trick and thereafter the animals play together.

2. Bush sucks
His dogs are kind of cute though. If his rise in poll numbers are because of his Christmas doggie video then we are in more trouble than I thought.

Reality check to Bush supporters. Barney doesn't write our foreign policy.

18. Too true
My mother doesn't like Bush like me but she does like the little dogs. Kinda sad when your dogs are more popular than you are.

19. The worst thing about it
was how they kept having the growling noise. You couldn't hear the people talking because the growling was so loud. I found it really annoying.

9. It's an allegory to prove Bush can lick his own balls.
And chase cars.

10. A more appropriate Tale Of Two Dogs for Bu$h...
Once a man and his little boy were walking down the road, and they came upon two dogs enthusiastically having sex.

"What are those dogs doing?" the little boy asked.

Thinking quickly, his father said: "The dog on top is sick, and the dog on the bottom is carrying him to the doctor."

The little boy said: "Wow, Dad! They're just like us! You try to help somebody out and they f!ck you in the ass!"

14. Sibling Rivalry. Shrub Sticking It to Jeb Crow Shrub.
The vindictive little man leaves no grudge behind. Remember his comic video showing Jeb as a toddler in diapers.
