LOL, but Kirk can always try Pupperoni snacks. They make my dog tweet.

...and then the Defense Department takes away my iPhone and gives me this thing! Apparently, you can't make a dog tweet.

Kirk: cares more about the dog's health care than people.

(OK, so that's lame, but given his seeming willingness to demagogue over health care like the rest of the fools in his party (so much for Moderate Mark) its an appropriate characterization.)

I've got to hide this dog quick. This dog is for the general election.
Where's that hunting dog I got for the primary?

For my part I can only hope to ever get close to being as wonderful as my dog thinks I am.

I wonder if Kirk is condescending towards dogs as much as he is accused of being to people?

Do you get as many points kissing a dog as kissing a baby?

In order to appeal to the family values voters of the GOP base Congressman Kirk announces he's getting remarried.

This is probably going to get me banned. Or maybe the ASPCA will track me down.

Thanks to Rufus Thomas, we get this GOP diddy:

Asked my mama for fifteen cents
See the elephant jump the fence
He jumped so high he touched the sky
Never go back 'til the Fourth of July

Walking the dog
Just a walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
