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.

To julieSS.

Still waiting for an answer to this:

Publicly admit that anyone who accuses Obama to be a Muslim is a dirty racist liar who preys on people's bigotry and fear and you'll have my apologies.

so far...***CRICKETS***

Have Jenna and her new wife joined AOWL Bush's Global War on Terror yet?
No?
WHAT A SHOCK!!!

[notthistime]

The title alone is an insult.

[realitybase]

What an effing waste of cyberspace.

[FSM]

I expected a story about Jenna.

[iBgood]

Poor pooch forgot to wear a flag pin.

[midtown]

If the Secret Service guy was in TX, who was in the apartment who could have thrown the dog? If there was no one, then implying a "throw" is irresponsible.

[FSM]

RTFA much ?

[Marmann]

Well, which is it? Tossed or fell? And why is the dog back with its "owner" if its owner is unable or unwilling to keep it safe?

My 5-year-old collie mix graced my life when she was 9 weeks old, after being "tossed" from a car with plates from another state. There was a witness who couldn't get the plate number but did save the puppy. I named her "Boomer," and she is my best friend in the world.

Thirteen years before that, I adopted a 1-year-old Keeshond from the local shelter after the owner had been arrested for running a puppy mill. She had a stroke and died when she was 14.)

If people aren't willing to take care of and protect their pets, they shouldn't be allowed to have them. Then again, we can say the same about some parents out there, as well.

i guessed wrong -

thought dog tossing was probably just some kind of east texas trailer-trash wedding ritual...

[msmaggie]

"No animals were harmed in the production of this wedding. Never mind..."

[americannonnidol]

Although this is no joke.......Has anyone noticed and increase that animals have been used as s punchlines or some kind of receiver of abuse in film and television lately.....Hey writers and secret service out there...This is not funny.

[nikto]

KKKOnservatives are known to abuse both animals and people.

KKKonservatives can't help it--It's who they are.

[sandiegoconservative]

So what is your excuse for PETA killing many animals in shelters?

[commonsense2]

So is Michael Vick

[debwarot]

The article said that the Secret Service agent who was left in charge of the dog has hired an attorney. I would hope that our Secret Service is not populated by people who toss animals out of windows. I sure don;t want that caliber of person protecting our President and his family.

[JulieSA]

i agree with you, if he did this he should be prosecuted.

On the brighter side, i know someone whose elderly dog was rescued by Cheney's Secret Service detail in Jackson, WY (actually closer to Wilson).

[wmbear]

WHAT IS THAT JACK NICHOLSON MOVIE...

Where he plays an author who tosses a neighboring tenant's obnoxious pooch down the garbage chute? I can relate to that, having suffered more neighbors' yapping mutts than I care to think about....

[Ides]

As good as it gets, I think. Which is weird since he later adopts a neighbor's dog and falls in love with it. (Is it the same dog?)

[gurukalehuru]

It was "As Good As It Gets" and it was the same dog, which he is forced to look after while the neighbor is in hospital after a gay-bashing incident.

[MissingAmerica]

What a cute little dog! I love Jack Russells! I'm glad he's going to be okay. We can only hope that this will ome back to bite the guy that tossed this little cutey out the window!

[nirak]

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.

[jubo]

Ho hum. It is shallow, not low.

[cedricryan]

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

[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]

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.

[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.

[amanda85]

"I have lost any respect I ever had for you."

Thank you. I'd be totally embarassed to have your "respect"... Save it for the war criminals you support.

[JulieSA]

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

[JulieSA]

YOU'RE the one who brought up the Obama=Muslim thing, out of the blue. What did that have to do with anything on this thread? Do you have some kind of problem with Muslims?

[JulieSA]

BTW, why is it "racist" to call someone a Muslim? Do you hate Muslims?

I don't like inaccuracy or lies. If Obama is not a Muslim, but someone says he is, then that's a lie or a mistake.

But how is it racist, unless you have something against Muslims?

[JulieSA]

Reply to amanda at 9:25:

You lied about me. I did not lie about anyone, including Obama.

You are a liar, and you seem to be very comfortable with that.

[amanda85]

Publicly admit that anyone who accuses Obama to be a Muslim is a dirty racist liar who preys on people's bigotry and fear and you'll have my apologies.

[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.

[pagebike]

And they still haven't found the bottom.

[SharonB]

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

[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?

[OlskoolDem]

I think your on to something here, this is news How??

[americanwomaninpa]

JulieSA

I know you have to be smarter than that statement makes you look.

[pagebike]

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

[SharonB]

How embarassed would YOU be if they linked you with a story on Bush???

Poor lil' fella! HE has suffered enough...

[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!

[NoahVail]

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