Conservatives finally have gone too far.
Hippies, homosexuals, liberals, tea drinkers and soccer fans are fair game for Republican politicians.
But not dogs.
Especially not the First Dog, Bo, the Portuguese waterdog that lives large in the While House.
The three-year-old neutered male--one of a breed that doesn't aggravate Malia's allegies--is featured in the Obama family holiday card.
The card depicts an illustrated laid-back Bo dozing in front of a decorated White House fireplace. No Christmas tree is shown.
GOP flagbearers, led by former half-Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska and FAUX News, have accused the President of taking Christ out of his Christmas card.
They conveniently avoid the fact that Dubya's holiday message was a professional video featuring cantankerous First Dog Barney, a Scottish terrier.
Barney, who liked to bite journalists, reportedly whizzed on a nativity scene off camera. (25 DECEMBER 2011)
