Kickass, the doorstop dog, was excited along with the keeper and Phyllis to see a dog on the stage at the RNC Convo in Milwaukee as the Repubs passed around and praised their leader’s version of America as his kingdom.
“Babydog” an English bulldog who lives with West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, sat on a chair and demonstrated, along with Gov. that the two of them eat really good, maybe a little too good.
Babydog did not have a speaking role, which Kickass sees as unfortunate, and there were no “fetch” demonstrations, which is understandable as it would obviously take Babydog the better part of a week to fetch a tennis ball, especially if it were to someone who had fallen on hard times and had a real need for a tennis ball.
With a couple convo days to go, maybe the Repubs will say enough with the fat dog, someone bring to the stage our beloved real symbol—a fat cat.
Maybe Thursday night.
