Barney's Last Christmas Video is a Sad-Spangled Coda to the Bush Administration

As you may or may not know, depending on how often you get out, each year the First Dog — that would be Barney, George W. Bush's Scottish terrier — makes a festive Christmas video for all Americans (who aren't Jewish or anything) to enjoy.

In this year's edition, Barney has crappily-animated dreams about winning various Olympic events, because the Olympics were the only good thing that happened under George W. Bush. And then the Ruiner-in-Chief interrupts his dog's sleep to tell him there's no time for dreaming: "You better wake up, fella, there's a lot of work to do around here," he says. "We're sprintin' to the finish, not nappin' to the finish."

That's right, Barney. The president's only got a few weeks left to bungle the economy, cut environmental protections and endanger the endangered species.

Dear lord, why can't he just nap to the finish?
