On Monday, NewsBusters asked, Is Miss California the Left's new Sarah Palin?
Given what White House senior advisor David Axelrod said in jest about the Obamas considering naming their new dog "Miss California," and judging by the reaction from the audience at George Washington University, one has to think the answer is a resounding "Yes."
Appearing on NPR's "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me," Axelrod was asked about Bo by host Peter Sagal.
Axelrod's response, and the audience laughter, is rather telling (YouTube audio embedded below the fold with partial transcript):
<
PETER SAGAL, HOST: So, let's take the President's dog. Obviously, that was focus-grouped, you really wanted to appeal to the Portuguese-American community with the choice. Seriously, do you, is it part of your job to worry about that, how things will play politically. How they'll look, how they should be framed?
DAVID AXELROD, WHITE HOUSE SENIOR ADVISOR: I only, I only got called in for the final three on the dog.
SAGAL: Really?
AXELROD: I wasn't there at the beginning of the process.
SAGAL: Seriously, were you consulted?
AXELROD: I was not consulted.
SAGAL: Really?
AXELROD: I was not consulted.
SAGAL: Really?
AXELROD: Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: But who were the other two? Were there really two others?
AXELROD: One was Miss California.
(Audience applause and laughter)
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: Dude, you just lost the carelessly topless demographic for 2012.
Amazing. Now White House advisors are joining the attacks on this woman while media and audience members seemingly applaud.
Honestly, what is happening to this nation?
*****Update: There is some confusion as to what Axelrod and Sagal were discussing. Were they talking about the choice of dogs or choice of names? The way Drudge and Real Clear Politics framed it, they were talking about names. The New York Times piece seemed unclear, although it suggested they were discussing the choice of dogs.
Frankly, I'm not sure. It seems to me that regardless of what Sagal was asking, Axelrod must have been talking about names, as even from a comedic standpoint, the Obamas certainly weren't considering making Miss California their pet. As a joke, it makes no sense. Of course, if that's the joke, regardless of how absurd, that's even more offensive, astoundingly so.
What do you think they were talking about? Is the punch line that they were considering naming the dog Miss California, or that they were considering making Prejean their pet?

May 16, 2009 - 19:10 ET by mostlymoderateI know. Makes you want to give up reading the news sometimes. Not to sound like a freaky conspiracy theorist or anything like that, but there seems to be some very unruly "powers-that-be" that are trying to destroy everything that was ever good about America. From 'Apple Pie' to morality, decency and everything else that is pure and wholesome. Unfortunately, most people just become tolerant of the negative changes and then things continue to spiral down even more.
Ok, I am done being negative. Gonna go running and forget about it.
No!

May 16, 2009 - 18:56 ET by balboaIt doesn't make any sense. Miss California was one of the finalists to be chosen as the Obama's new dog? That's not even a good joke.
Yup
May 16, 2009 - 19:33 ET by danebramageI totally agree, balboa. That was the first thing I thought when I read it, too.
Of all the things Prejean has been accused of being in the last two weeks, a dog is not one of them. I can't even think of any dog-like qualities Prejean could be said to possess. As you say, the joke just makes no sense at all.
Which, if risibility and the ability to joke are attributes of the intellect, speaks volumes about the geniuses who supposedly populate this administration.
Yup again,
May 16, 2009 - 20:16 ET by Indiana JoeNot only is it not a good joke, it's a totally off-topic smear. The idea of linking Obama's dog with any woman sounds pretty misogynistic to me.
But I guess it's okay with the media if Axelrod says it.

May 16, 2009 - 20:41 ET by ThisnThatIt's just a not-so-backhanded way of calling Miss Calif a bitch. Perez was up-front about it -- he called her a dumb bitch. Obama's White House is calling her a bitch in another way.
But this is exactly what I expect out of the dimocrat party these days. The current white house represents the dregs of humanity, IMO.

What makes you think he has changed his spots since the election? At some point we've collected enough evidence to make us stop pretending -- this man is a vengefull ass, whose desire to jump right down in the gutter to extract his revenge personally is becoming quite obvious. This isn't my interpretation. It's a conclusion resulting from observation.

And yes bal, I agree with your interpretation; I think Noel got it wrong. Axelrod wasn't talking about naming the dog Miss California, he said that Miss California was one of the final three options for which dog to get.
OK, let's say it was, as liberals like to say, taken out of context.
What "context" would make suggesting Miss California as the White House dog OK???? Especially when they got the dog weeks before this controversy erupted?

David Axelrod is an addlebrained, amoral sack of sh*t who apparently thinks it is acceptable to attack a 21 year old Christian woman from the sanctity of the White House. Congratulations you worthless piece of crap! You have succeeded in lowering yourself to a level typical of the rest of the Demorat trolls trying to abscond with our traditions and freedoms. Kiss my *ss!
That is the point
May 16, 2009 - 21:29 ET by Tom Paine"But you would think
they would be smart enough to choose a target that truly threatened their
agenda."
That is the whole point.
Having anyone who gets positive national attention espousing traditional
conservative principles is a threat to their agenda. From Sarah Palin to Joe the Plumber to the people
who attended the Tea Parties, the left is sending the message that they will come
down hard and do whatever it takes to shut down any dissenting opinion. This is another chapter straight out of Rules for
Radicals. Since they can’t prevail in an
exchange of ideas they must resort to smears and ridicule as a way to
discourage anyone else who might be tempted to speak up.
Even further.

What a disconnect.
A little perspective
May 16, 2009 - 23:30 ET by JerA little perspective please...
a. What the heck was Axlerod referring to? The name of the dog? The breed of the dog? The identity of the consultants?
b. If it were the breed or name, it was a tasteless quip and he should apologize. The idea that he meant to imply Miss California is a "dumb bitch" is utterly ridiculous.
c. The notion that this augurs the end of Western civilization at the hands of the Obama administration and that Axlerod shouold resign or be fired is also silly. Should John McCain have resigned from the Senate when he joked that Chelsea Clinton was ugly because Janet Reno was her father? Should Rush Limbaugh have resigned when he called Chelsea a "dog"? Of course not. They apologized, as should Axlerod.
d. Regarding Wanda Sykes' extraordinarily lame and insensitive wisecracks about Rush: I could be wrong, but I don't believe Obama reacted with laughter to those particular jokes.

As for Axelrose, I honestly don't thing he's smart enough to have meant anything particularly substantive. He's just a typical left-wing moron trying to score points with his homies. All I say is that if somehow it could be proven that he meant to agree with that Hilton guy that Prejean is a "dumb bitch," he ought to be eviscerated. Obama is supposed to represent all Americans, not just the foofy crowd.

No I do not want to be on the top at anytime near sunrise 10,028 ft,( or 28,028 from the sea floor),it's swarming with tourists. Just me on a dirt "road" in the middle of nowhere. The view is awe inspiring, one can look out over hunderds of linear miles of the Pacific ocean. kid you not dude, sometimes the heat and cloud weather; torque and warp the avilable light, at that time one can see over the horizion, no big deal, here it's just more ocean. Thought I saw China once, nope maybe it was a fluttery wavey multi trillion dollar mirage.
Feels like signing off on a 3 million dollar home loan, yea baby we can make those payments. When's the first one due?

Then again standing all alone on a big mountain.
I can thank God that I had the chance to live in the age of oil .Our civilization that freeded many millions; landed men on the moon. only to be erased, with no one at the controlls in the very near future, SUCKS.

May 17, 2009 - 04:18 ET by FranksamThe other choice, which was not mentioned, may have been Michelle, or is that too hateful?
Re Hateful
May 17, 2009 - 09:36 ET by slickwillie2001Inconvenient; when someone calls 'Michelle', they'd both come.
BTW, this thread reminded me of this excellent caption contest: http://wizbangblog.com
Can I buy two black and white dogs?
May 17, 2009 - 05:49 ET by Dragonsbreathand name them after Obama's kids or Axlerods ( dunno if he ever learned how to have any tho)?
Would that be funny?
Proof Obama is not Jesus. Jesus could actually build a cabinet

May 17, 2009 - 06:36 ET by CrashCall a young woman a "dog" and that's acceptable for the pandering flakes on the left who pimp for a demographic who refer to their women as "bitches & ho's."
But, using a renegade monkey in a cartoon to illustrate an out of control congress will draw Satan's wrath. And whatever you do, please don't call our "bitches nappy ho's" ... unless you're A-frickin-American.
0bama joking around.. he's sure is funnie har har, JERK

Not much of a stretch to have a dog named after another conservative.

David Axelrod is a supremely arrogant comb-over who looks like he flosses with tur*s. He is as corrupt as anyone in DC, rich as heck, and could care less what he says.
Why is the title misnamed?
May 17, 2009 - 08:22 ET by LegionOfDorknessHere and other places suggest that Axelrod joked about 'naming' the dog 'Miss California', when reading the transcript and listening to the audio plainly shows that Axelrod joked about Carrie Prejean actually BEING one of the dogs under consideration.
That makes the joke more classless AND stupider at the same time.
Horse puckey
May 17, 2009 - 09:00 ET by nkviking75Whenever you hear of a parade which includes horses, imagine all the Axelrod that has to be scooped up off the streets.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
This kind of stupidity is
May 17, 2009 - 09:14 ET by pitter43This kind of stupidity is what we can expect from the " leaders " of our country? No wonder we're circling the drain.
Clearly Mr. Axelrod misunderstood.
May 17, 2009 - 09:34 ET by dervishWhat was really going on was that the White House was considering having Obama named Miss California, until the Donald rained on their parade.
Excuses
May 17, 2009 - 09:40 ET by slickwillie2001The extent that some of our taking-points posters will go to make excuses for the Bamster and his administration can be stunning.
There's a pattern of Misogyny
May 17, 2009 - 11:16 ET by OxyConThat is the EXACT same audience reaction that Obama got when he mentioned Hillary by name, paused, then slipped her the ghetto middle finger and it’s also the same EXACT audience response he got when he said “You can put lipstick on a pig…it’s still a pig” in reference to Sarah Palin.
But Obama never meant any of that stuff, just like Axlefraud didn’t just call Carrie Prejean a dog.
If you want to see the woman haters and have a good laugh, look at this:

May 17, 2009 - 12:07 ET by Cool ArrowI'd prefer "gutter middle finger", but that would imply the he's more at home in one than the other.

Middle Finger
May 17, 2009 - 12:23 ET by slickwillie2001He did it to McCain in one of the debates as well, didn't he?
He's doing it in this picture as well, and it's not hard to see why: http://www.mofopolitics.com
Sure slick. Michelle is ugly Obama hates her and you're a genius
May 17, 2009 - 15:02 ET by JerSure, slick...
Michelle looks dreadful in that picture, because, well, she's a particularly dreadful looking person [but, of course, I'm sure no one here at NB would be so crass as to joke about her physical appearance...what would it say about our country?]. And Obama is obviously giving the finger in the linked photo because he hates being married to that ugly woman, and, well, because we all know he's just a plain hater. Which accounts for the fact that, as a candidate for President, he decided he would periodically give "The Finger" to his political opponents or call them "Pigs" since it is such an impressive and appealing campaign tactic--as well as a useful means of expressing his all-consuming hatred. Of course.
It just all makes so much sense.

I'm shocked, simply shocked,
May 17, 2009 - 23:20 ET by NL207I'm shocked, simply shocked, that you'd speak of the Klingon woman living in the White House that way!
"Ghetto middle finger"? What
May 17, 2009 - 15:43 ET by OxyCon"ghetto middle finger" is when someone flips the bird in a passive aggressive manner (Obama's style), in an attempt to conceal what they really are doing, so they don't suffer the repercussions of their actions.
Google it.
Ah... Sorry, but I think
May 17, 2009 - 15:47 ET by balboaAh...
Sorry, but I think this is completely insane.
I still don't get it. So
May 17, 2009 - 16:41 ET by JerI still don't get it. So he's flipping a bird to conceal what he is really doing--which is flipping a bird, and no one will suspect this!?...except of course his audience and the omniscient "cannot be fooled" Limbaugh Nation. On the other hand (npi), Hillary and McCain won't realize it, nor will any of the rest of us [who think the whole finger deal is about the biggest load of bs ever peddled by the Obamahaters].

Gee, I am sure glad Obama is trying to "bring us together" 'cuz
May 17, 2009 - 13:46 ET by pahuberI would sure hate to see if he wasn't . . .
Axelgoof!
May 17, 2009 - 21:48 ET by blazermaniacDavid Axelgoof needs to make a public apology immediately. It's amazing that Barack Obama & Carrie Prejean have basically the same view on marriage. One gets crucified, and the other gets a free pass. Typical "Drive By Media" Bias. It's unbelievable how pathetic the media is these days. Like Sean Hannity said, "Journalism Died in 2008".
Gone since early today.....
May 17, 2009 - 21:57 ET by maggieqpublicGone since early today..... has Axelroad apologized to Ms. Prejean?
Lol maggie... You didn't
May 17, 2009 - 22:05 ET by bigtimerLol maggie...
You didn't see any pigs flying by anywhere did ya?

The David Axelrod Comedy Hour
May 17, 2009 - 22:29 ET by third eyeAnd remember people, the ten o'clock show is completely different from the seven o'clock show.
Naming the dog
May 17, 2009 - 22:33 ET by djm159Perhaps Axelrod should name the dog after himself, "axelrod" is a cute name and the namer actually looks like the dog or Hitler, I can't decide. I guess he couldn't call the dog Michael because that sounds too much like Michelle, the name of the family gorilla. That could be confusing at playtime. With everything happening in the United States since the annointed one took office it seems to me to naming a pooch would be sort of on the back burner.
