On a day when GMA ran two warm-'n-fuzzy items about Barack Obama, the ABC show found yet another way to hit President Bush—literally and figuratively stooping to bash Barney, the presidential pooch. Weekend co-anchor Bill Weir teased the segment in the show's opening roll, then couldn't contain himself in his initial chit-chat with Kate Snow:
KATE SNOW: It's been one of the best-kept secrets of the Bush White House. But we have the scoop this morning on Barney.
BILL WEIR: Turns out everyone hates him.
SNOW: Hey-y-y-y! Giving it right away there; right off the top!

Barney doesn’t suffer fools gladly.
Heck, Barney is a great judge of character as he hates MSM reporters.
He’s okay in my book.

Only wussies and thieves hate Scotties. Scotties do not tolerate fools lightly. Gotta love em.
You Go Barney. Write a tell-all book when you retire as first dawg!

Bit a reporter?
Dogs get a better read on people than people can.
I’d say the dog was smarter than the report.
It would be interesting to know who “everybody” was to the talking heads.

Hope the dog didn’t need a tetanus shot after biting a reporter.

The news hit of the day would have been Barney lifting his leg on the GMA set.

If it wasn’t for hatred the obamedia wouldn’t have anything to offer.

I’m surprised the WH still talks to the MSM. Oh and God Bless Gary Sanise the Lt Dan Band.

And to think, these a$$hats probably get paid high six-figure salaries (maybe more) to talk mean about Bush’s dog.
Unbelievable.

Yeeesh, can Bush do anything right?! Seems he can't even pick out a good dog. No doubt the Obamas' pets will be perfect.

May all those that participate in Barney Bashing fail miserably at their jobs and find themselves unemployed, penniless, and remorseful (to no avail) for years and years to come.I'm a DOG per-son!
