Romney Took a Dog on a Vacation; Obama Ate a Dog
So a while back, Mitt Romney put the family dog in a crate on the roof of his car and went on a family vacation.
So a while back, Barack Obama ate a dog.
Here’s Jim Treacher:
Hey, if we’re going to talk about how presidential candidates treated dogs decades ago, let’s talk about how presidential candidates treated dogs decades ago.
Can you name the author of this quote?
“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”
Yep, that’s Barack Obama, writing about his childhood with his stepfather Lolo Soetoro in Indonesia, from Chapter Two of his bestseller Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.
“So what? It was a long time ago,” you say. “He was a lot younger. Customs are different there. He was just doing what his stepfather told him. And hey, you can’t even prove that the dogs were ever left on top of a car, you racist.”
Hey, whatever you have to tell yourself, libs. Say what you want about Romney, but at least he only put a dog on the roof of his car, not the roof of his mouth. And whenever you bring up the one, we’re going to bring up the other.
Treacher has had some fun with this tonight on Twitter (h/t daleyrocks):
If you think Romney’s dog on a car is a campaign issue, but Obama’s dog on a dinner plate isn’t, #YouMightBeALiberal.

@piker62 I’m not the one who thinks Mitt Romney’s dog is a campaign issue. But if they want to talk about dogs, let’s talk about dogs.

Romney put a dog on top of a car. Obama put a dog on top of rice. #WeWillNotBeSilenced
— ‘Jim’ ‘Treacher’ (@jtLOL) April 18, 2012
@mitchellreports Romney was too busy hiding his dog on top of the car so Obama wouldn’t eat it.

I strongly encourage @BarackObama‘s staff and supporters to run with this one: “Well, he hasn’t eaten any dogs LATELY.”
— ‘Jim’ ‘Treacher’ (@jtLOL) April 18, 2012
That’s just a few of them.
I demand blanket press coverage.
Naturally, the libs will point to all this as making a big deal out of nothing, while making a big deal out of the nothing of the Romney crate trips.
Irony ain’t their strong suit.

Patterico (feda6b) — 4/17/2012 @ 10:29 pmIt would be so funny if Ed Henry or Jake Tapper asks Obama about this at a press conference, and Obama snaps, and says, “Bill Ayers made that stuff up !”
Elephant Stone (0ae97d) — 4/17/2012 @ 10:44 pmI guess the White House will be cancelling those scheduled appearances with Michael Vick !
Elephant Stone (0ae97d) — 4/17/2012 @ 10:49 pmIf I were the proprietor of Pink’s, or any other hot dog stand where they name items on the menu in honor of famous people, do you know how much fun the menu could be during the campaign season…particularly during the dog days of summer.
Elephant Stone (0ae97d) — 4/17/2012 @ 10:54 pmGerman Shepherd pie anyone?
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 4/17/2012 @ 11:02 pmObama is definitely the underdog in this election.
Elephant Stone (0ae97d) — 4/17/2012 @ 11:07 pmBeing President is a difficult job. Every day, something totally different gets thrown on your plate.
Elephant Stone (0ae97d) — 4/17/2012 @ 11:12 pmWhile it’s kind of funny, I don’t blame Obama for anything to do with while he was a child, especially eating the food he was given.
But also, Romney did nothing wrong, certainly not intentionally. I’m sure the dog was wagging his tail when he was let down.

Noodles (3681c4) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:21 amI guess Barry’s dog played “dead” for keeps.
Gazzer (75ef82) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:26 amMittens had a dog on his rack. Barry had rack of dog.

happyfeet (3c92a1) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:41 amThe other thing about this whole Seamus story is, in the 80’s we (as kids) rode in the back of an open pick up truck all the time. Am I the only one that remembers this kind of stuff? Seat belts were not looked at like they are now. Lots of people littered also.
We used to drive cross country every summer. My Dad built this frame for his truck (topper on) that was half as long as the bed. The luggage went underneath it and we had a make shift bed on top. In the other half we had our toys and bean bag chairs! lol
Today my Dad would be smeared as a child abuser if he ran for president.
Noodles (3681c4) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:41 amMy wife told me that they would drive from WI to FLA every year and the kids would take turns to lie down on the rear parcel shelf. Seat belts, hah!
Gazzer (75ef82) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:50 amOops, I meant my wife was one of the kids. That didn’t come out right.
Gazzer (75ef82) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:51 amI’m pretty sure THAT is not on the government-approved school lunch menu!

Icy (ad6a1f) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:53 amNext, we will find out he also likes monkey, dolphin and whale.
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 4/18/2012 @ 12:54 amThere are enough pet owners that this is a problem, actually. It may dog him the entire campaign.

Bill (af584e) — 4/18/2012 @ 5:19 amAll the funny jokes have have been made, so I’ll tell a true story. How do you get four adults, three kids, and their luggage across the island of Crete, on twisty, one-lane mountain roads, in a Land Rover? The kids ride on top. My daughter, nine years old at the time, was one of them.
nk (875f57) — 4/18/2012 @ 5:21 amI guess that kills my nomination. It wasn’t even an American made car.
I didn’t know that about Indonesians. I don’t even know that I believe it. Muslims consider dogs the most unclean animal and in Hinduism only the Kshatriyas and the pariahs eat meat. It could very well be that Ayles used literary license to “spice up” the story.

Rational and tadcf are a contradiction in terms.

Have you ever had a family dog in your life, or had a dog adore you so much it wanted to be with you all the time and go with you everywhere you went?
Somehow I’d guess not.
elissa (d4a4da) — 4/18/2012 @ 7:21 amIt’s EXACTLY like that!
It’s also like saying that taking your cow with you on vacation is worse than eating him.

No, tadcf probably hasn’t had a dog as a pet. But judging from his reaction to the post, I’d wager he’s fricasseed one or two in his time.
Patterico (feda6b) — 4/18/2012 @ 7:25 amI haven’t read “Obama’s” books. Has he read them?

Too funny.
I miss Andrew Breitbart even more at times like this BTW. He would have loved this topic. Hilarious plus it makes them eat their
petsown attacks.Imagine mocking Obama & Co without a break all the way to election day with stuff like this. We would see a narcissistic meltdown, sooner than expected, IMO, that would take the “cool cucumber” mask off for good.

At the very least they should demand extra hazardous duty pay from Axelrod. After all, he’s the brilliant strategist who decided to get cute about Seamus and make dogs a key issue in his approved 2012 propaganda suite.

At Political Punch Tapper quoted Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt’s tweet reminding all that Obama was an innocent child when he ate dog meat: “What’s the next attack @EricFehrn and the RNC will surface on a 6-10 year old?”
I see what La Bolt did there. Very clever. Trig Palin was not in the 6-10 year old age bracket so the left attacking baby Trig was A-OK.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 4/18/2012 @ 8:56 amSomeone suggests that The Bamster as child did not eat dog; that Ayers, the real author, simply put the poodle in to “spice up” the story.
Wait a frickin’ minute!!! Hold the phone!! I thought the Bamster wrote every word of those books! Ayers as author? Say it ain’t so Bo!
And speaking of Bo–I read that he’s been put in a witness protection program now that he’s reached “eating size”. As The Bamster reaches out for the Hispanic vote, he’s going to have a photo taken showing him eating “Tiajuana Tacos”.

SarahW (b0e533) — 4/18/2012 @ 9:25 amCompletely off topic – that horrible woman who shot the mother and stole the baby in Texas, Verna McClain, has a (confirmed per ABC) facebook page that makes her look insane.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001193923210&sk=photos
Although I don’t know about ABC et al anymore, they always get things wrong. Reports everywhere have been touting her as a “registered nurse” but she is no such thing – she hasn’t obtained that credential yet, only that of LVN (licensed vocational nurse) after about a year in a junior college program. It’s often a stepping stone to RN but is a vastly inferior credential.
SarahW (b0e533) — 4/18/2012 @ 9:33 amI seem to recall that Obama complained that his critics “talk about him like a dog.”

That shooty person Verna also has an old myspace from a few years ago, which is a happy one and not a crazy one at all (though demonstrating the usual level of literacy and refined sensibilities of that forum.) I wonder what on earth happened to her.
I guess a person should shuffle off to websleuths with that sort of thing, but dang I can’t stop thinking about it.

The most interesting thing about this story is that the information has been available for years, (it comed from Barack Obama’s first book) and yet it didn’t make it into the debate, which has been going on for a while.
It should make us think: How much else, relevant to this or that discussion, can be available and not picked up??
Of course there is a difference between eating an animal, and possible cruelty to an animal, although I don’t think the dog suffered from being on top of a car, more than being left alone in a house maybe.
Maybe it was exposed to a risk of injury from colliding with bridge or something.
Also actually the Romney dog story started in 2007 (it also came from the candidate) before Barack Obama was taken too seriously as a Predidential candidate.
The point probably still goes to Obama unless we focus on the idea that there are some animals we love (like dogs) and some we hate (like mice, rats and cockroaches) and soem we eat (like cows and lambs) and dogs do not belong in the category we eat.
“Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It’s So Hard to Think Straight About Animals” by Hal Herzog.
http://www.amazon.com/Some-We-Love-Hate-Eat/dp/0061730858/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334780356&sr=8-1
Although we should use the portal on the side to buy it.
From Publishers Weekly:
How rational are we in our relationship with animals? A puppy, after all, is “a family member in Kansas, a pariah in Kenya, and lunch in Korea”.
I would suspect it was more his international outlook than anything in Indonesia that caused Lolo Soetero to serve Barack Obama dog meat – except maybe for this idea you are what you eat.
Still he could have gotten it the idea from the Chinese. Or maybe snakes are mpre likely to come from them.
Herzog reveals how we can look at the exact same animal very differently given its context–most Americans regard cockfighting as cruel but think nothing of eating chicken, when in reality gamecocks are treated very well when they are not fighting, and most poultry headed for the table lead short, miserable lives and are killed quite painfully.
In the twenty-first century in the United States. It didn’t use to be this way.
By the way, Obama has to point out it’s not really Islamic to eat dogs. Or even tigers.
Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.

PatAZ (e33446) — 4/18/2012 @ 1:27 pmLeviticus:
What? He’d already been a Bain VP for five years at that point?
— No, actually, since the trip with the dog occurred in 1983. Mitt co-founded Bain the next year in 1984.
Well, shut up anyway. Barack Obama ate dog when he was 9.
— When I was a kid my mom used to feed me tongue sandwiches. I didn’t really like them, but I ate them anyway because she told me (truthfully) that I was eating beef. Then one day she told me what part of the cow I was really eating. That was the last time I ate tongue — ever. Our family got a pet dog when I was (ta da!) 9 years old. If someone had served me dog for dinner at that age — and please note, NOWHERE does Obama claim that he did not know what he was eating until after the fact — I would not have done it, and would have in fact become physically ill at the sight/smell/thought of it.
So yeah, Mitt Romney transported his dog in a questionable manner, but there is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that the dog suffered or had its lifespan reduced as a result of this action.
Barack Obama ATE A DOG.
Are you seriously contending that what Romney did is worse because he ‘was an adult and should have known better’?

My wife and I were once at a dinner where they served tongue. She was enjoying the meat, when I said, “Honey, that’s tongue.” She did not believe me, so I said, “Look at the side of each piece, it has little bumps, like a tongue.” She took one look and then ran out of the room.

Icy (a47d6e) — 4/18/2012 @ 3:17 pmLeviticus—
Just to make certain you understand what this is about, because from your comment above I’m really not sure that you do—-
The exaggerated, appalling, contrived war on the Romneys over Seamus from 30 years ago has been going on since 2008 and was ratcheted up by Axelrod again this year. It was, and is a stupid, manufactured line of attack meant only to distract. Seamus was by all accounts a long-lived beloved family member who loved traveling with the Romney boys.
The “young Obama ate dog meat from butchered canines” is also a rather stupid theme. We all recognize that. Barry S. was living in a culture where eating dog was deemed normal by a subset of the population and apparently his stepfather was among them. Fine. Barry was pre-pubescent at the time and he has written about it openly. The Daily Caller clearly knew “dog meat recipes” was a truthful but silly theme when they published it yesterday with fanfare and such great humor. But above all, they went with it because it is a much needed counterbalance to the relentless silliness, mean spiritedness, and hypocrisy of the Romney dog story that is being framed on the left.
To summarize: Both the Seamus story where a loved family dog was taken on vacation (perhaps not under the most ideal conditions, but hardly torture)– and the story of a boy who was served dog meat by Lolo (which many of us on a personal level find highly repulsive and abhorrent) are equally politically irrelevant to the 2012 presidential campaign. Neither one is more, or less, stupid than the other as a campaign tactic. Neither one is either more or less shocking than the other. There’s not a winner and a loser with these dog tales. They equal each other out in ridiculousness. Tit for tat. And that is axactly the point.

Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 4/18/2012 @ 3:36 pmWednesday, Jan. 16, 2002 Slate article on eating dogs: (via Best of the Web)
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/frame_game/2002/01/wok_the_dog.single.html
….Dogs are eaten in parts of East and Southeast Asia. The South Korean dog meat industry reportedly involves about 1 million dogs, 6,000 restaurants, and 10 percent of the population. French actress-turned-activist Brigitte Bardot, backed by thousands of rabid European and American letter writers, has enlisted FIFA, the world soccer federation, to pressure South Korea to shut down the industry. South Korean lawmakers, angered by this pressure, are pushing to legalize the industry next month. The industry, armed with supportive research by a scholar known as “Dr. Dogmeat,” plans to set up dog-meat stands near World Cup stadiums and advertise recipes on English-language Web sites….
…Let’s start with the clearest complaint: the needlessly cruel methods—beating, strangling, boiling—by which many dogs are killed in Korea. To Frame Game, this is a no-brainer. These methods have to be stopped. At a minimum, they should be replaced with electrocution, which is far more humane. That’s why South Korean lawmakers are proposing to legalize, license, and regulate the industry. But guess who’s trying to stop them? The same attack-dog activists who complain about the cruelty of the old methods.
South Korea’s Livestock Processing Act doesn’t officially apply to dogs. The obvious solution is to classify dogs as livestock. But in 1999, legislators who tried to do that were thwarted by critics who warned that legalization would hurt the country’s image. Now anti-dog-meat activists in Korea, Britain, Australia, and elsewhere are trying to block legalization again, arguing that “there is no recognized humane method of killing” dogs.
Better tell that to the ASPCA.
But this means taht back in the late 1960s, the dog Barack Obama was fed may have been cruelly killed so maybe the point goes back to Romney.
Strip out Bardot’s silly arrogance and her Korean colleagues’ sentimentality, and their philosophy boils down to this: The value of an animal depends on how you treat it. If you befriend it, it’s a friend. If you raise it for food, it’s food. This relativism is more dangerous than the absolutism of vegetarians or even of thoughtful carnivores. You can abstain from meat because you believe that the mental capacity of animals is too close to that of humans. You can eat meat because you believe that it isn’t. Either way, you’re using a fixed standard. But if you refuse to eat only the meat of “companion” animals—chewing bacon, for example, while telling Koreans that they can’t stew Dalmatians—you’re saying that the morality of killing depends on habit or even whim.
What’s wrong with that? Not to do things that way promotes cruelty – toward humans. It is perfectly good distinction to make. It makes perfect sense to say: Once an animal has been befriended, or taken out of the category of something that might be eaten, it shouldn’t be eaten after that.
More:
In the city, Koreans raise “pet dogs.” In the country, they raise “meat dogs,” also known as “junk dogs” and “lower-grade” dogs. But you don’t become a “lower-grade” dog by flunking an IQ test. You’re just born in the wrong place.
Also:
Fourteen years ago, when Seoul hosted the Summer Olympics, the dog-meat critics had their day. The South Korean government threw them a bone, banning dog meat under a law prohibiting “foods deemed unsightly.” That’s the law FIFA now wants South Korea to invoke to sweep away dog-meat restaurants during the World Cup.

…are equally politically irrelevant to the 2012 presidential campaign. Neither one is more, or less, stupid than the other as a campaign tactic. Neither one is either more or less shocking than the other. There’s not a winner and a loser with these dog tales. They equal each other out in ridiculousness. Tit for tat. And that is exactly the point.

Leviticus (870be5) — 4/18/2012 @ 4:39 pmIt was a poor decision and I hope everyone treats their pets a lot better than that. I think it was cruel and I think most dog owners would know better. When you take an animal in as a pet, you have a responsibility of care.
And Obama was ten. He has zero culpability for the animal his meat was derived from. Livestock is different from a pet. Eating meat is not cruelty to animals. We need to eat to survive.

We need to pick a direction for our country. How Romney cared for a pet in an isolated incident is not the best basis to make that decision.
But the tit for tat that Obama, as a child, ate an animal that is not acceptable to eat in our culture… that’s frankly not reasonable.
It is, however, fodder for tons of good jokes. Both our presidential candidates are deeply unworthy of leading the free world or a free country and I’m happy to see them both take jokes that show our nation’s proper level of respect for politicians these days.

I’d vote for a guy who eats three dogs a day if he could balance a budget (not that we even pass those anymore), and most Americans should be interested in where the jobs went.
Dustin (330eed) — 4/18/2012 @ 4:59 pmThis is true.
And also true is that most voters do not think the way I do. Politics is won and lost on issues that I personally do not find relevant.
I guess I want change badly enough to be OK with these tactics? That’s not honest. I think it’s wrong to argue for anything but a balanced budget platform, specifically, and if the people aren’t convinced… then do the work and convince them about why that’s so important. I don’t want to win a mandate against dog consumption.

Both are ridiculous and mock-worthy, yet completely irrelevant. But the attention both sides are ginning up is really funny.
“A child has an excuse, but grownups all should know by now the disgusting condition of slaughterhouses and fear and suffering that animals endure on factory farms and try a vegetarian diet that’s good for them, animals, and the environment,” Nicole Dao, a spokeswoman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
The arrogance is stunning. Dog eating is common in many places in the world, typically third world countries Southeast Asian countries. Perhaps PETA might consider that when a people are hungry, they eat what’s available.
It is interesting to note, however, that Wikipedia informs me that even Switzerland is a dog-eating country. News to me.

Here’s where I’m a scold raining on the party. It annoys me to see politics decided on a stupid basis. I guess it’s a good thing if Obama loses because of our cultural view on dog meat, but it’s also sad that he’s not going to lose because of the deficit or various other relevant things.
It’s like winning a game that you should have won, but because the goalkeeper simply awarded wins by alphabetical order. A little annoying.

teh Borgia’s were rather subtle, as well. Sometimes a lighter touch and a sober demeanor is the best choice. Let Rosen’s remarks stand – or fall – on their own. The dog-meat story is funny and serves to highlight the hypocrisy of the 0bama campaigners.
The people who value the importance of a stay-at-home mother know and value the truth of that and you don’t have to take the “beat people over the head” approach to make a point.
Cool demeanor and calm confidence is the way to do it… just my take.
Colonel Haiku (1878e8) — 4/18/2012 @ 6:14 pm@Dustin #233,
The lamestream media have carried so much water for Obama, and facillitated a solar eclipse upon the sunlight shining on his background, associations, et al, that I think it’s legitimate for people to have a little fun with this issue, particularly since the anecdote actually came courtesy of
Bill Ayerser, I mean, from “Barack Obama” himself, in his autobiography.The fact that the anecdote was sitting right there in
Bill Ayers’er, I mean, in Obama’s book yet had never been publicly discussed underscores the lack of scrutiny given to this man.The focus on this issue is being handled by commentators, bloggers, and commenters—the Romney campaign is certainly not going on C-SPAN to discuss it. Romney himself said today that this election will be about “jobs, not dogs.”
The Romney campaign knows well that the election will be decided by how many voters have had enough of the Alinsky Acolyte—and not decided by some funny jokes about Obama & dogs.
By the same token, there’s a good percentage of un-informed voters out there who don’t pay attention to the national debt, or to Iran’s nuclear program, or to the Keystone Pipeline, so if this story “reaches” their antennae in between watching episodes of “American Idol” and “Jersey Shore,” then, that’s great. After all, Obama has “Saturday Night Live” on his team, and the hit job they did on Sarah Palin DID help them in ’08 because it reached a lot of clueless apolitical voters. But nobody’s pretending this is the ace card in the deck to play against Obama.
I look at it a little bit like how Shakespeare peppered his plays with humor that the informed or educated classes would ‘get,’ yet might be over the heads of the lower classes. By the same token, he would also write other scenes/dialogue (in the same play) that he directed toward the lower classes that the educated classes might not necessarily ‘get.’
Besides, this is the President who, shortly after his inauguration, spent weeks using the media’s help in focusing on “what breed of dog the Obamas were going to buy,” and “what they were going to name it.” He even shamelessly weaved his girls into the narrative, by discussing what they wanted to name the dog.
Thank God they didn’t name the dog, “Dinner.”

narciso (8d0f34) — 4/18/2012 @ 6:29 pmBTW, I just saw a clip of an interview with the Romneys. It seems that the dog was placed in a CRATE which was then strapped onto the car roof. Transporting a dog in a crate is perfectly acceptable and comfortable. Airlines and trains do that all the time, as do dog professionals (such as breeders and groomers) when transporting them.
Bored Lawyer (1cf033) — 4/18/2012 @ 6:31 pmWell it beats just ratcheting down a beagle to the roof rack. I didn’t know that was the meme. I always understood it to be a very cold crate on the roof of a car.
It’s not like this proves Romney is a sociopath or anything horrible like that, but I think folks shouldn’t transport dogs like that. Inside a plane or inside a car is different.

This was a dog carrier strapped on top of a roof for a summer vacation. Neither of us know how cold or uncomfortable it was. Being put in the luggage compartment of a plane or train (where dogs are routinely sent in carriers) is not exactly the Ritz, either.
Bottom line, give that this was a dog carrier, it is not at all clear that there was anything abusive or even uncomforable about it.

Think about it, would you be noting its relative tenderness to other exotic foods if you were somehow forced to eat dog? This guy doesn’t have a soul.
In the book mentioned he was promised (but apparently never got a chance) to sample a tiger.
He doesn’t indicate whether he wanted it or not. But dog was no good and snake was worse.
For the tiger there was maybe another reason:
He [Lolo Soetero, his step-father] explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate.
Which reminds me:

I didn’t know that about Indonesians. I don’t even know that I believe it. Muslims consider dogs the most unclean animal and in Hinduism only the Kshatriyas and the pariahs eat meat. It could very well be that Ayles used literary license to “spice up” the story.
It wasn’t maybe his stepfather who was responsible for him eating dog meat, but his mother.
It wasn’t served at home.
It was away from the dinner table that he was served dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy).
Remember, his mother was an anthropologist with an interest in all cultures.
If she found someone who ate dogs, she would have wanted to know them better,and brought Barack along to help get better introduced while she accepted a meal.
The business about Lolo and the tiger was something else altogether, and put in to give a misleading impression.
IT WAS HIS MOTHER who would have given him dog meat to eat.

It’s being made more and more against the law in places like Taiwan.
Ah here we are:
Indonesia
Dog meat is haram for Muslims and as such, it is not consumed by most of Indonesia’s predominantly Muslim population. However, dog meat is eaten by several of Indonesia’s non-Muslim minorities. The Islamic faith considers the meat of canines to be ritually unclean, along with swine. The consumption of dog meat in Indonesia is mainly practiced by remote tribes and does not appear to be a widespread phenomena, given that Indonesia’s population is largely Muslim.
In Indonesia, the consumption of dog meat is usually associated with the Minahasa, a Christian ethnic group in northern Sulawesi, and Bataks of northern Sumatra, who consider dog meat to be a festive dish and usually reserve it for special occasions like weddings and Christmas.[79]
Popular Indonesian dog-meat dishes are rica-rica, called variably as “RW” or rintek wuuk, rica-rica waung, guk-guk, and “B1”. Locally on Java, there are several names for dishes made from dog meat, such as sengsu (tongseng asu), sate jamu, and kambing balap.

Well, it did happen, you know. He did use to have a dog called Zeke, some years back, while he was Governor. I read in one or two papers around the end of 1993. It was run over by some Arkansas state troopers. They were reported to have been laughing about it afterwards.
If you think about it, Clinton ordering the dog’s assassination makes perfect sense. If the dog is dead, he doesn’t have to explain to Chelsea why he took it away. If he says he killed it, then he gets no benefit.
So it has to be done in secret – not by a vet, but by a car driven by some Arkansas state troopers who can be persuaded to do so for a small tip maybe.
Clinton had possible political reasons for doing this. The way they keep talking about Socks the cat it seems like he was very interested in public reaction to his pets. So if he decided to get rid of a dog and replace it with a cat, this is the simplest way for him to do it without having any crisis in the family. And he also avoids any embarassing questions from reporters as to why he got rid of the dog. The dog is dead, so he had no choice. There’s no need to explain, either to the reporters or to Chelsea.
This was discussed on the old Aardvark, before the crash of 1993 (or very beginning of 1994, rather) It actually had slipped my mind. Nobody wrote about it – anything about the dog – in any of the books I have read so far.
One day, when Ron Rosenbaum, say, writes The Secret History of the Clinton Administration, maybe that will be in it too.
