Dogs were the main theme at the White House Correspondence Dinner last night. The “War on Dogs” political controversy between Mitt Romney’s Irish Setter, Seamus riding on the roof of his car vs. Barack Obama eating dog meat as a child was the tail of many jokes.
President Obama quipped, “Everyone is predicting a nasty election, and we have all agreed that families are off-limits,” Obama said. “Dogs are apparently fair game.”
Host Jimmy Kimmel, took the microphone after Obama, but told us he didn’t have any dog jokes ready until the very last minute and said “How do I get Lucky?” after hearing about Lucky’s induction into the Guinness Book of World Records ! After hearing about Animal Fair Media’s Lucky Diamond was unable to attend the WHCD, because she is currently undergoing canine cancer treatments.
Uggie the dog, the star of the Oscar-winning movie The Artist was there and Kimmel joked, “If Romney ever asks you to go for a ride, call shotgun!”
