Guess The Connection: Jenna Bush's Wedding And A Dog Tossed Out Of Window

The Daily News has the curious connection - read the entire piece here or an excerpt below:

The dog that survived a fall - or a throw - from an upper West Side apartment is back with its owner, the ASPCA said Thursday.

The Jack Russell terrier broke both its front legs last week while its owner, a Secret Service agent, was working Jenna Bush's wedding, police sources said.

I can picture someone else being thrown out of a window

[nellie]

What is it this year with dog abuse and politics? This is the third case.

[JulieSA]

The editors of this place have hit a new low.

[SharonB]

Thank you. As bad as I think Bush is, this is pandering of the lowest form... I am NOT impressed.

[pagebike]

The dog looks distraught. He obviously needs psychotherapy over what he's just witnessed.

[JulieSA]

Well, thank you. I'm just trying to imagine how awful it would be if, say, a dog belonging to one of Obama's Secret Service detail was killed during Obama's daughter's birthday party, and some media outlet tried to spoil the party by associating the dog's death with the the girl's party. How stupid and mean would that be?

[pagebike]

And they still haven't found the bottom.

[tippy6]

No kidding. So this means what? Jenna shouldn't have gotten married, because the damn dog might jump out of the window?

Completely absurd. An appalling implication.

[amanda85]

"The editors of this place have hit a new low."

Says the poster who approves of "Don't vote for Obama because he's a Muslim!" kind of headlines.­..

[JulieSA]

Please provide a quote of me saying that. If you can't, then don't make up stuff, liar.

[JulieSA]

I have lost any respect I ever had for you. Where in the heck do you get that, and why do you think it's ok to post something you made up out of wholecloth?

Do you think it's good journalism to juxtapose a wedding picture with the unrelated story of a poor dog who was abused 1000 miles away? i think it's just HuffPo showing a deranged, stalkerish mean streak.

[JulieSA]

On the other hand, you have managed to type out a couple of comments that don't contain the word "fascist", so you have made some progress.

[cedricryan]

This is disgusting. Huff Po you used to be far above this level of discourse.

[MidwestMomma]

Okay! I totally refrained from photos of Jenna's Wedding..W­edding pics from someone you don't know are boring and private. But..The above photo makes we wonder..Di­d they actually erect the stone alter just for her wedding or what? And what are they doing with it now..why would you need an altar on a ranch? Now I am curious!

[pagebike]

Yes, it was George's idea. They'll use it next for sacrificial offerings of Democrats.

[afgail]

Nah. It was a phony styrofoam altar painted grey consistent with all things Bush. Phony, phony phony.

[jubo]

The altar is for human sacrifice. All Four thousand..­.

[NoahVail]

I thought they only erected crosses in OTHER people's yards....

[Nyk]

More likely the dog threw itself out the window in disgust.

[MidwestMomma]

LOL!

[drumz]

That was my thought but do dogs commit suicide?
I guess in special cases like this...

[pagebike]

That's not a dog. Jenna was in the family way before the marriage.

[jubo]

Heh. The canine is adorable..­.

[debwarot]

Not funny at all. Not sarcastic either - - just a crass and tacky remark!

[DogTown]

Because we paid a hefty price tag $$$$ for Jenna Bush's wedding as tax payers. We supplied all the security the planes etc. We footed a lot of the weddings bill.
And the poor dog got hurt!

[person]

DogTown,

When Obama is president do you expect that he will spend the next 8 years never leaving the White House for any personal event? Should he avoid attending his daughter's graduation because it would cost the taxpayers hefty $$$$ ?

Since Bill Clinton has Secret service detail do you think that all of his actions are newsworthy, simply because it cost (us?) a hefty price tag $$$$ for him to run around the country giving speeches?

[obxjohn]

The dog obviously found out who its master worked for and tried to end it all!

[BOBZILLA]

Darn. . . I was guessing that in true Republican fashion, little puppies were thrown instead of rice.

[person]

Why is this on the Huffington Post? Who cares?

[sandiegoconservative]

Because they need any excuse to bash him. Any excuse at all.

[DenveRockwell]

Yeah, like "excuses to bash him" are in short supply. Get over yourself. The guy's a moron.

[BadCompany]

LOL.
I haven't seen a lot articles bashing Secret Service agents here and the Bush referred to in the headline is Jenna.
Surely you must be referring to Chimpy, but we don't need "excuses" to bash him.

[zull2]

Well, they also reported about Mitt Romney's escapades with strapping his family dog to the roof of the car and driving cross country. Hosing off the vomit and feces at the gas station, and driving on and all that. But Romney said "nah, he likes it so much that he can't even walk afterward!"

If they find one more of these stories, I think it officially qualifies as an outbreak of dog abuse by conservatives.

[gaby]

I say this is a major cover up , what did that adorable know and when did he know it? Perhaps the "dog' ate the evidence..­. notice dog is in quotes, is this cute puppy really a dog ? Maybe we'll never know but I for one think thats the cutest puppy and hope he gets well soon, if chenny had anything to do with this I'll......­........

[Pema]

What a disgrace, the Secret Service needs to investigate this immediatly. I would like Huffingtong post to follow this up. If we have a sicko in the Secret Service, we need to know, and need to know he is prosecuted. The ASPCA is the voice of the helpless. I hope people will visit their website and make a donation, get involved. Many things the ASPCA does does not require a donation, calls to elected officals in support of legislation is very much needed.
Let's all stand up for this poor little doggie and animals everywhere.
Rise up!

[tippy6]

Such a knee-jerk reaction. We have no idea what happened here, yet you jump to conclusions!

I hope the ASPCA will investigate, but that still doesn't mean anybody did anything malicious; could have been just an unfortunate accident (and obviously has NOTHING to do with the wedding).

Why are we even talking about this? Its not newsworthy­...yet here I am, talking about it...

[lesherb]

So, a Secret Service Agent owns the dog and another SSA was taking care of it. Hopefully the pet sitter is disciplined by the ASPCA and loses his job.

[JulieSA]

If he or she actually tossed the dog out the window, that's against the law. If there's good evidence, the agent will be prosecuted.

[gurukalehuru]

Now, I don't know for sure that the secret service agent was a Republican, but it would seem to fit with the record of the Huckabee and Romney families. Republicans are the party of child molestation and animal abuse.

[tippy6]

That's just not true... and really just mean and hateful.

[gurukalehuru]

Is too true.

[JulieSA]

If you had any idea how much my family and I have done for the local humane societies, you would take that back in a heartbeat.

[blytzd]

Well that clears the secret service agent of any animal neglect charges. This story is just troll food.

[zull2]

Look out now...but throwing a dog out a window could be considered Animal Cruelty, and it is a felony in New York.

That said, if your daddums is the Prez, you can probably sneak away with only being deprived of that second Escalade for your wedding present.

[JulieSA]

"if your daddums is the Prez, "

I didn't know the the President had a son in the Secret Service.

[kdogg]

WHOOOOOOOOO CARES?

[Pema]

Even Hitler liked dogs.

[amanda85]

"Even Hitler liked dogs."

Not really. He poisoned Blondie...

[kclaf]

I care! Everyone connected with this sick administration appears to be into abuse in one way or another. You Should Care too.....ab­use is abuse and the last time I checked the Secret Service was very much connected with this administration.

[JulieSA]

Senator Obama has Secret Service protection. By your reasoning, Obama is also responsible for this dog's abuse.
