June 18th, 2007 at 3:15 pmThere’s been a “suspicious scent” coming from there for 6 years. What, are those dogs on crack?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:17 pmMebbe Chimpy McCokespoon tried eating pretzels solo again…
Wouldn’t it be great if the good and decent people of this country got together and threw these criminals out of the white hourse?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:17 pmMust’ve caught a whiff of Bush’s foreign policy. Peee-eww!
June 18th, 2007 at 3:17 pmOh, it’s the putrid rotting smell of The Bill of Rights & The Constitution
June 18th, 2007 at 3:19 pmA security dog smelled something suspicious in a car near the White House.
Imagine that….
I think Rove just arrived….
June 18th, 2007 at 3:19 pmRove and his lunch. Jeez.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:19 pmFunny, it’s not on CNN : too busy reporting on Britney and Paris…
June 18th, 2007 at 3:20 pm#6: No. We’ve already got good and decent people who aren’t thinking of the Constitution as a suicide pact.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:20 pmGannon scent?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:20 pmThere’s also a missing white pregnant girl. Bonus!
June 18th, 2007 at 3:20 pm/sarc
it’s the smell of the b.s. tony pulled from his ass earlier:
Tony Snow:
June 18th, 2007 at 3:22 pmPresident Bush “impressed and reassured by the progress [Iraq is] making on political, security and economic reforms.â€
#12. Wow, you GOP-ers sure are quick to burn the Constitution when the boogeyman comes around.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:22 pmSeymour Hersch is gonna be on CNN soon. Not the Headline show, the other one.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:22 pmAnother intern fell for Bush’s “pull my finger” bit.

June 18th, 2007 at 3:24 pmThe dogs picked up the smell of democracy rotting to its very core in the Whitehouse, no doubt.
Comment by GSD — June 18, 2007 @ 3:15 pm
Nice one, GSD. I wonder if they were cadaver dogs?
Actually, my first thought was that Bush was cutting farts, which is one of his favorite grown-up-type pastimes, in a cabinet meeting
June 18th, 2007 at 3:24 pmBush must have just played another of his flatulent tunes for a new staffer.
Or this is another attempt to play the “terror” card.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:25 pmOh, Zooey dear. Such language…
June 18th, 2007 at 3:25 pmthinking of the Constitution as a suicide pact.
???
whatever could THIS latest meme be about???
a suicide pact??? … the actual birth certificate
is now thought of as a death sentence???
whoa… new depths of delusion…
June 18th, 2007 at 3:25 pm.
#22. Funny. Bush usually tries to toot out the National Anthem, from what I’ve heard.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:26 pmmaybe dubya’s back on the coke and the dogs picked it up…
June 18th, 2007 at 3:26 pmMaybe they accidently hired an honest person. Those poor dogs must think he’s a space alien or something.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:29 pmOh, Zooey dear. Such language…
Comment by GOPcurious
Sorry.
F*cking piss-soaked troll.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:29 pmOh, Zooey dear. Such language…
Comment by GOPcurious — June 18, 2007 @ 3:25 pm
Apt. Fitting. Dead on. True. Astute. Insightful. I like your comment praising Zooey, just don’t think YOU know how to use the language that well.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:29 pmOh, Zooey dear. Such language…

GOPcurious = shit for brains troll.

June 18th, 2007 at 3:31 pmPregnant white girl still missing….
June 18th, 2007 at 3:32 pmMissing black girl, too…..wow.
Of course, she’s been gone 3 weeks.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:35 pm… and lets include another runaway bride in adult diapers.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:35 pmOh, say can you smell?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:35 pmSomething wafting from hell.
Oer the ramparts we leaped,
while the green cloud it creeped…
I guess it is about time for another injection of “be very afraid” with the headlines today of “E-mails Missing For 51 White House Officials” coming out. It blows my mind how consistent these ‘terror’ warnings or threats pop out when the news stories get too bad.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:36 pmNow yet another possible terror threat at the WH (which will turn out to be nothing) will take over all the news cycles and trigger that wonderful fear response in Americans and remind people they need to be afraid.
No need to panic. The dogs got of good whiff of a turd-blossom.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:39 pmThe dogs must have recentlly graduated from training school where they learned how to pick up the scent of traitors which took the dogs directly to the White House. Hummm… wonder why that happened….
June 18th, 2007 at 3:40 pmIs it naptime yet?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:41 pmGOPCurious yellow = smag licking dingleberrie chewing loser.
Are we getting closer yet f*ckstick?
June 18th, 2007 at 3:52 pmThat suspicious scent was the odor of the death of the Constitution, compounded by the stench of corruption in the White House.
June 18th, 2007 at 3:53 pmNot that it comes as any surprise, but his part seems to have been left out of a most of the reports…

According to CNN, a dog in the K-9 units “smelled something suspicious†on an Israeli vehicle.
Comment by JPV — June 18, 2007 @ 3:53 pm
….which later turned out to be Karl Rove, stuck in the radiator grill.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:02 pmTry reading up on Israel’s long history of “false flag” operations.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:03 pmMaybe they accidently hired an honest person. Those poor dogs must think he’s a space alien or something.
Comment by shane
Nice one. The dogs are all “WTF?”

Are we getting closer yet f*ckstick?
Comment by nanlichi
Heh. I think that’s as close as we’ll ever get.
Looks like GOPcurious doesn’t like naughty words. :(
That’s ok, I don’t like insane spew…
June 18th, 2007 at 4:18 pmThe dogs are probably Liberty U law grads.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:39 pmYou are too polite Zooey.
There aren’t words to describe the digust I have for Bush and his sycophants. They have perpetrated the most vile and despicable acts against our country and what we stand for, and yet are still defended by 28% of the residents here. I can’t say that they are fellow Americans, because they aren’t. We don’t share the same respect for the law and constitution, but we have to physically share the country.
I think I know the common bond between Bush and the 28%ers, but there’s no reason to take the thread on that tangent again.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:39 pmIt might have been a fart from a bad burrito?
June 18th, 2007 at 4:46 pmActually it wasn’t a bomb. It was the scent of Karl Rove’s kiss on Jeff Gannon’s breath again and the dogs could no longer hold in their disgust.
June 18th, 2007 at 4:55 pmWillle Nelson left a roach on the roof.
June 18th, 2007 at 5:00 pmGood work JPV! Hmmm, wonder how the scent of explosives got on an Israeli vehicle….
June 18th, 2007 at 5:08 pm#49 – nanlichi
Well said.
June 18th, 2007 at 5:14 pmDumb dog didn’t realize it was supposed to ignore the Iranian bomb being planted at the press center.
June 18th, 2007 at 5:26 pmWere the twins in residence? What was that scent?
June 18th, 2007 at 5:45 pmDarn, it was a only a Pretzel…..(choke, choke).
June 18th, 2007 at 6:04 pmUPDATE: The AP notes that it was a “bomb scare.†Security in the area was “heightened because of the visit to Washington of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.†3:12 pm
And why do I care about what Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has to say to the biggest, lying, useless, loser, worstever press-a-dunce called GW Botch.
I love America and democracy. These 2 a$$holes do NOT!!!
June 18th, 2007 at 8:30 pmOh, it was just the ‘enchanting man-smell of Fred Thompson’ wafting along on the balmy summer breezes of DC…
June 18th, 2007 at 10:52 pm“Parts of the White House evacuated after K-9 units pick up a suspicious scent..”
WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
FARTS FARTS FARTS FARTS FARTS FARTS FARTS FARTS
U.S. News and World Report, 8-20-06
June 19th, 2007 at 1:14 am“But he’s (BUSH) still a funny, earthy guy who, for example, can’t get enough of FART jokes. He’s also known to cut a few for laughs, especially when greeting new young aides, but forget about getting people to gas about that.”
Probably were re-trained DEA dogs, and they sniffed some coke somewhere near the presidential office…
June 19th, 2007 at 7:47 amI noted the time; about the time the press would be talking about the 140,000 WH emails destroyed? “Here, White House-Press, look over here….” The sniffer-dog looks pretty smart by comparision…
