good  answer, evan - this thread is getting a little offensive - no matter on 
which  side of the politic fence one stands. 



I don't find it offensive at all. We had a list of how many (pick your  
breed) it would take to change a light bulb. It was a joke to show the general  
perception of our many breeds, and was interesting to see what people thought 
of  
dogs in general.
 
This idea of equating our politicians to the traits of our different breeds  
has been interesting, not just because there are so many breeds we haven't 
used,  but also to see what we think of people we have never met, but seem to 
know so  well through the public media.  Then, you couple that with gross  
generalization of the personalities of the AKC breeds, and it has been a  hoot.
 
In truth we have equally insulted a number of breed, and a number of  
politicians.  When someone runs for public office, one of the obligations  is 
to 
accept public criticism and adoration. I see nothing wrong with expressing  our 
opinions as to those individuals.
 
The reason I first brought up the subject, (as a joke) was due to the fact  
that in the last month, two people have told me I am starting to look like a  
German shepherd. I don't know if it was a compliment or an insult. I am still  
thinking about it, (which is clearly a trait of the German shepherd).
 
Because of the advowed purpose of this List, I guess the final question  is;  
Who in our elected officials most tipifies the German shepherd?   If it were 
a Ben son, I would think Bobbie Kennedy. If it were an Army son,  probably 
FDR.  From Uzi, I would go for Gandi, and from Lance, (all of the  above).  The 
German shepherd?  I guess I do have to go with JFK, but  that is a generational 
adoration thing.  
 
Only we who have reached full maturity, (420 years old, in dog years)  can 
understand.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
