Dog Meat Gate! Impeach! Impeach!

Posted on April 19, 2012 at 11:47 am by Bob Cesca

The right-wing blogosphere and the Romney campaign are having fun with the “revelation” that President Obama, at age 10 living in Indonesia, ate dog meat, which was part of the food options there.

You know what’s really funny about this?

The right-wing blogosphere is just now discovering something that the president himself admitted in a bestselling 1995 book: his autobiography, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance!

The right-wing screechers and rumormongers who have all along questioned the president’s background, upbringing, citizenship and credentials clearly never read the president’s actual biography. If they had, they’d know about the Indonesian stories. Idiots. And yet when twerpy dorkus Tucker Carlson prints it in The Daily Caller after finally perusing a copy of Dreams From My Father, it’s breaking news.

Meanwhile, I wonder how many of the cackling morons and members of the millionaire foo-foo Romney club have eaten foie gras or lamb or buffalo or tortured baby cow (veal) or suckling pig.

Yes, Election 2012 is getting really effing stupid, and it’s only April.

    Great tweets from this guy on the subject:

    @imfabulous13 #WhenObamaWas9 he fired many hard working toys and sent their jobs to the other room. #obamaeatsdog

    @imfabulous13 #WhenObamaWas9 he sent a platoon of toy soldiers to fight evil teddy bear and never recovered their bodies.@jtLOL #obamaeatsdog

    The good news? If this is all they have? They have this and Ted “really, that aging pedophile is still alive” Nugent and his is how they “bring it”? I think this is pretty great, because their quiver is not filled with arrows, it’s filled with nonsense cartoon polemics and insipid ancient anecdotes. Prepare for more, in addition to Reverend Wright “revelations.”

    If it took them this long to actually get to that part of his biography, it’s no wonder they can’t read the ACA law.

    so what is wrong with dog meat. i ate some in 1962 in hawaii and it was good. bbq’ed and with sauce on it.

    Romney better hope none of the chefs he had during his missionary work in France visited boucheries chevalines.

    Bob, Bob, Bob, you just don’t understand. They didn’t have to read Dreams from My Father. They already knew that it was a lying, self-serving blueprint for the destruction of the American Way of Life and the enslavement of the white race that was actually written by Jeremiah Wright with the assistance of the shades of Saul Alinsky, Malcolm X and Shaka Zulu.

    Egads, what a bunch of knuckleheads.

      No! According to World Nut Daily, Dreams From My Father was written by Obama’s BFF, Bill Ayers.

        ZOMG! WND is in on the conspiracy!

        (In my defense, it’s impossible to keep track of which bogeyman the Righties are hating on at any given moment, and I sure as dammit wasn’t going to research this particular psychotic episode.)

    I’d never eat one, I don’t care if it tastes like pumpkin pie, but it’s not like dogs are on the endangered species list. In most countries, kids don’t have the choice of what to eat like they do here. Hell, I ate horse in Germany about 20 years ago when I was a kid, didn’t think twice about it. It was served to me so I ate it.

      Servus Jeff,

      did you grow up in Germany? Also, that’s a pretty amazing story — how did this horse dinner experience come about?

      • eljefejeff

        I was an exchange student in Hamburg in 92-93. My host family served Pferdewurst, or horse sausage, one time, for some special occasion. I didn’t really like it, not much flavor unlike the other wursts. Not good texture, kind of fell apart easily from what I remember. Good thing horses aren’t as popular as dogs so it shouldn’t hurt me if I ever run for president….

        Why do you ask, have you been to Germany?

        • Dan_in_DE

          That’s pretty wild! I would never have imagined — apparently, it’s still popular and some corners of Germany and in Switzerland. Did you have it as a Sauerbraten? Damn, I honestly would love to try that – if just for the experience :D

          Yeah, I’m actually returning stateside next week after five years in Thüringen, just living life and learning German. And if I get my shit together and hand in a passable thesis by Monday, I’ll have a master’s degree to show for it.

          So, I had better get back to work — see you on the flipside!

          • eljefejeff

            I don’t remember if Sauerbraten was involved or what else I ate with it, honestly….as for your masters, viel Glück mein Bruder!

          • Dan_in_DE

            Danke!

            Ich werde es schon packen.. mit viel Koffein, und wenig Schlaf ; )

    I ate fried gator once. That’s about the most exotic meat I’ve ever eaten.

    Pretty much all this proves is how desperate wingnuts are to find a scandal.

  • D_C_Wilson

    Meanwhile, Romney has his own “scandal” involving food: Cookiegate!
