Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted September 6, 2011 Administrators Posted September 6, 2011 Rabid Dog Briefly Mistaken for Tea Party Candidate Receives Standing Ovation at Missouri Rally JEFFERSON CITY, MO (The Borowitz Report) - A rabid Doberman Pinscher jumped on stage at a Tea Party rally in Missouri on Labor Day and barked at the crowd for nearly twenty minutes before people realized he was not a candidate. The dog, later identified by its owner as "Mister Buster," held the crowd spellbound as he barked, growled, and frothed at the mouth, eventually receiving a standing ovation for his exertions. Gwendolene Thomason, 42, a Tea Party supporter from Jefferson City, was one of the hundreds on hand who were convinced that the Doberman was a Tea Party candidate until he was outed as a dog. "I liked what he had to say," she said. "He reminded me of Glenn Beck, only furrier." The Doberman’s canine identity finally became clear when he lunged at a man in the front row and wrested a hamburger from his right hand, taking two of the man's fingers with it. While the discovery that Mister Buster was not a Tea Party candidate disappointed many in attendance, Ms. Thomason held out hope that, dog or no, he might consider running for office at some point. "I liked the way he bit off that guy's hand, and the way he did his business in the middle of the stage," she said. "We need more of that in Washington." - http://www.borowitzreport.com/ Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth.

Moderators John317 Posted September 6, 2011 Moderators Posted September 6, 2011 Hey, Tom, didn't you hear that dog turned out eventually to be identified as a presidential candidate named Barack Hussein Obama? I'm surprised everyone took so long to recongize him since he bit off those men's hands just like Obama bites off the hands of the wealthy and the middle class and then makes a big stink in the middle of the House of Representatives. :-) Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Let's take these s#% of b&^%*^&* out and give America back to an America where we belong," Hoffa added. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
