OH, I was really hoping your would pick this up!
This is ‘an incredibly popular topic’-we want Malia and Sasha to be happy in their (big) new home. Their Grandma, Marion, is thinking about coming to live with them! How is that for modeling a wonderful family? I am just so pleased that the girls are going to be positive subject for us all to “AWW” about! Hooray puppies! Good luck Obamas!

hehehe

I don’t know if this should be in “cute or sad?” as for many, this *is* the most important presidential appointment.

;)

I hope to see them adopt from the shelter and start a trend of responsibilty.

5 Sarah 01.11.09 at 2:17 pm

it wont show it in Canada.. :(

6 Brat 01.11.09 at 2:27 pm

“Who’s a good boy?”

ROFL!

7 crazyweinerdoglady 01.11.09 at 3:12 pm

ooo I vote for the CKCS! sooo cute :P , but I’d take Anderson home too

8 Hayley 01.11.09 at 3:13 pm

I <3 Anderson Cooper.

9 Annie 01.11.09 at 3:14 pm

LOL and the hands down the best presidential I mean pupsidential debate ever.

10 metsakins 01.11.09 at 3:20 pm

Brat, I have to agree with you, for me that was the best line.

When we took home our Ozzie from North Shore Animal League (on Long Island in NY), he was 6 months old. He didn’t know his name, he was paper trained and the one thing he responded to was Who’s a good boy?

11 Kratz 01.11.09 at 4:02 pm

Canadians can see it on the Comedy Network website, it’s on the January 5th episode of The Daily Show.

Also, Anderson Cooper is adorable. :3

12 Merry_Dawdler 01.11.09 at 4:06 pm

Sarah-
we Canadians can still watch it on youtube!

Anderson Cooper wins by a long shot.

14 AuntieMame 01.11.09 at 4:13 pm

Off topic, but what’s this “Hotel for Dogs” post that keeps showing up? It’s getting a little annoying.

15 meadowgirl 01.11.09 at 4:29 pm

i’m swooning over Mah Boo, AC.

*sigh* he’s so DREAMY!

i hope they decide to adopt a shelter animal!!!!

16 lurkingsmirk 01.11.09 at 4:37 pm

Auntiemame – I assume it’s a paid-for ad for the movie so it’s going to be around for as long as they bought. I’m fine with it except it throws me off when I come back daily looking for new posts and it’s always near the top so I miss the new stuff below it.

17 berthaservant 01.11.09 at 4:38 pm

The “Hotel for Dogs” posting looks like it’s an advertisement (British: advert) for the upcoming movie. They’ve designed the ad to look like a “real” post.

I’m sure there are those that will lament this development, but it’s just the C.O. gang finding new and innovative ways to generate revenue so we can take part in the qte for free. (Or at least, that is my interpretation, I have no official knowledge — maybe Teho is just really excited about the movie).

By the way – HOTEL FOR DOGS? That’s the best title they could think of? They couldn’t come up with “Red Woof Inn” or “Howl-a-day Inn” or “Hairy-Netherland” or something?

18 blair 01.11.09 at 4:52 pm

haha!

clahseek!

19 ashley 01.11.09 at 5:06 pm

Yeah, it seems like an advert because it keeps changing location and no comments are allowed. Oh well.

Anderson is the most adorable and contributed to the cute overload :) )

20 lurkingsmirk 01.11.09 at 5:06 pm

“Hairy Netherland” – hah!

“Heartbark Hotel”
“Howler Johnson Hotel”
“Hotel Pawanda”
“Hotel Growlifornia”

k sorry guys, I’m done.

21 Silent Meow 01.11.09 at 5:12 pm

Love this video! Too cute! :-)

Oh, by the way, for those of you who know that I am dealing with domestic violence issues, I have an update. My ex-boyfriend who assaulted me, just now violated the temporary protection order that was served to him by sending me an email. I am right now waiting for a cop to show up at my door. It looks like he’s going to jail.

22 debg 01.11.09 at 5:13 pm

The Obamas have already said they’re adopting a shelter dog. And this is just CLASSIC Daily Show. What a riot!

23 Gail (the first one) 01.11.09 at 5:16 pm

This is SO funny!!!

I heard this morning that the Obamas are going to a shelter looking for a Labradoodle or a…..something, bigger dog…I’m drawing a blank!

24 Annie 01.11.09 at 5:25 pm

WOoo Hooo Silent Meow and Hugs

25 Jon 01.11.09 at 5:28 pm

On ABC This Morning with George Stephanopolis, Obama said they want a Labradoodle or Belgian Water Hound. They have told all the D.C. area shelters to keep their eyes open for one.

26 Roxy 01.11.09 at 5:32 pm

“Get this bitch off the stage!”

Ha! Brilliant!

27 Amy 01.11.09 at 5:35 pm

Mmm, Anderson Cooper. <3

That was hilarious. :D ! And adorable!

28 chanpon 01.11.09 at 5:50 pm

Next time they should diversify the candidate pool, and add in a few independent “first cat” candidates. Dogs & cats on stage; hilarity ensues.

That hotel dog ad isn’t very effective. Not only is the “looks like a post” confusing, but when I did click on it, I didn’t figure out it was a movie! I thought it was just an ad for random services – oh wells.

29 scamps 01.11.09 at 6:36 pm

Anderson is even dreamier in person! Seriously, I gasped when I first met him.

30 marmar 01.11.09 at 7:11 pm

Love calling Jon Stewart “McAnchorPant”

31 marmar 01.11.09 at 7:12 pm

That’s McAnchorPantS. Dam* cut-and-paste…

32 berthaservant 01.11.09 at 7:54 pm

Silent Meow: good for you for not being silent. Please be careful!

33 berthaservant 01.11.09 at 7:59 pm

Yup: Labradoodle or Portuguese water dog, according to the old gray lady…

34 Nik 01.11.09 at 8:21 pm

Hilarious clip. Okay girls, raise your hand if you have a crush on Anderson Cooper! *Types with one hand cuz’ other hand is in the air*

Silent Meow, hang in there! Hugs.

35 Ender 01.11.09 at 8:35 pm

Aww,that was adorable!

36 Marie 01.11.09 at 9:36 pm

Have to say this would have been funnier without the Coop. I know he’s reading from a script, but it was a lame one. I’m also kind of sick of people using the “B” word all the time. I think it’s a mean word whether used on people or dogs. Frankly, Meg could have done a better job on that skit. The Daily Show needs to reach out to CO for any future animal funny IMO. ;D

37 vegas vickie 01.11.09 at 10:00 pm

ROFLMAO the best laff i’ve had in days thanks CO. Silent Meow, don’t be silent on this one, keep meowing til he’s gone. BIG hugs and much love!

38 Katrina 01.11.09 at 11:26 pm

Silent Meow-I am very proud to be your friend. This “man” (overgrown schoolyard bully) needs to grow up and get his come-uppance. You are doing great! I’m so sorry you have to go through this, it will be over. Your friend, K. Talk to you tomorrow.

39 Minya 01.12.09 at 3:18 am

Oh fer cripes sakes! We’re not getting all hot over the B word AGAIN, are we?

40 Theo 01.12.09 at 3:56 am

Heck, *I* wouldn’t refuse Anderson Cooper snuggles. I’d have to ask Teh Schmoop first, though, and I’d probably have to arrange Neil Gaiman snuggles for her too. Or possibly the actress who played Zoë in “Firefly”.

41 Me 01.12.09 at 5:24 am

Um, ladies, you do know that Anderson Cooper is gay, right? I mean it’s fine and great to fantasize about him, but I think visibility is important. It’s awesome that you think he’s adorable or whatever, and I hope you can transfer that crush you have on him to helping us with gay rights. Do it for the Coop!

42 Minya 01.12.09 at 5:56 am

Oh would you just stop messing with my rich, rich fantasy life? :)

43 jenjen 01.12.09 at 6:52 am

As a Homely-American, I have about as much chance of snorgling The Silver Fox as any straight handsome guy. So hey, what’s the harm in thinking he’s cute as all get-out? I do recognize how lucky I am to have the right to get married… if only I could get a date.

44 yankeebird 01.12.09 at 8:00 am

Anderson Cooper. Jon Stewart. A roomful of dogs.

*sighs contentedly*

45 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 01.12.09 at 11:34 am

I thought the whole thing was a bit lame, but the puppies made up for it. The German Shepherd especially, so cute! :D

46 Katrina 01.12.09 at 11:39 am

New Peeps Welcome!

Yankeebird-I haven’t seen your comments for a while-please pardon me if I missed some! Happy New Year!

47 Poochie 01.12.09 at 4:06 pm

I beg the Obamas to go to a shelter and save a dog. Any purebred dog they get is doomed as puppy-mills will start producing that breed at a record pace. The dogs being bred in mills live a horrible life in cages without exercise or human love. If they get a pound pup then every Obama supporter and their brother will head to the shelters to save a dog as well. This whole dog issue can help so many needy dogs if they will just to a shelter and save a dog from being euthanized!!!!

48 cdubs 01.12.09 at 7:44 pm

so, things that are ruining this post:

a) giving the obamas the business for choosing a non-shelter dog (it’s for the girls, for cripes’ sake. Sure it would be nice for them to set an example but it’s not a LESSON–it’s a pet)

b) that bitch IS a bitch.

c) taking the fun out of crushing on AC.

Can we just laugh at the funny video please and enjoy the fact that we have a cute puppy coming into the white house? or is that too selfish and awful to ask?

49 poochie 01.12.09 at 8:34 pm

Think about where that puppy is coming from before you laugh!!

Here is your awful!!!
