FWD: http://www.boston.com/ae/media/articles/2009/06/12/celebrities_15_minutes_of_shame/ 15 minutes of shame By Alex Beam Globe Staff / June 12, 2009 ....... Nine months in the doghouse? Not nearly enough, I say. Wait - did someone say doghouse? Look who's peeking his wet little nose out . . . it's canocidal maniac and former NFL star Michael Vick, of Bad Newz Kennels fame. When Vick and several codefendants were facing a variety of criminal charges relating to gambling, drugs, racketeering, and cruelty to animals, Wayne Pacelle, president of Humane Society of the United States, condemned the quarterback for engaging in "a barbaric activity that causes immense animal suffering and fosters violence in our communities." But now, with Vick eager to clear his name and the Humane Society baying for publicity, Pacelle has changed his tune. Last month the Humane-itarians signed up Vick as an anti-dogfighting spokesman "to young African-Americans in urban centers where there's widespread dogfighting." "We're both using each other," Pacelle admitted to a radio interviewer. Hope that works out for you, Mr. Pacelle. I'm sure you know the old adage about lying down with dogs. You could wake up with fleas, or worse. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
