David Axelrod Implies That Miss California Carrie Prejean is a Dog
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIn an appearance on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," Senior White House adviser David Axelrod put his foot so deep in his mouth that he needs a laxative to dislodge it. In a moment of banter about naming President Obama's dog, Axelrod let loose an ill-advised ad-lib:Although the audience (disappointingly) ate it up, I have a problem with this on several levels.First, and least, Axelrod's joke doesn't make any sense.

Lost to the viewer is the fact that neither Perez Hilton nor the Miss California organization really has any skin in this game, as far as activism goes.
