Uh Oh...They Bit The Hand



Shasta just told me that the White House people bit the hand that feeds and protects them.  I wasn’t sure what she meant, so I went to ask my human.

“Well Patton it’s like this, the Petulant President has been counting on the main media to help promote his ideas and plans.  He depends on them to smooth over mistakes he makes.  So far this has been working just fine.  But last week that started to change and it got worse today when the news broke about his buddy, Eric Holder, that runs the Department of Justice had wiretapped and gotten two months worth of phone records for phone numbers that belong to the Associated Press and some reporters,” she said.

As I sat and listened, I tilted my head to the left.  When I do that it means I’m a little confused about something.  That’s when Shasta explained the those main media people were like pets to the Petulant President sort of like other people think of me and her as our human’s pets.  (We know that she’s our pet but we let others think she takes care of us.)

“So, the White House people are supposed to be looking out for those media people so the media people will continue to guard them like we guard our human.  Right?” I asked Shasta.

“Right” she said.

OK…I know I’m just a puppy and I still have a lot to learn, but it seems kind of silly for the White House people to do that stuff.  I guess this is what Shasta means when she says that they have no “canine common sense”.  Every dog knows you don’t bite the hand that feeds your or takes care of you. 

I don’t think a time-out is going to fix this.  I don’t think I’d like to be that Eric Holder guy or any of those White House people right now.  I bet those media people have really sharp teeth…know what I mean?
