 | I was saddened to read this report on the AP wire just minutes ago "Gregoire family's 'first dog' killed by car"[Mrs.] Gregoire's1 tiny dog Franz, a "first dog" so popular with school children and state capital visitors that he had his own Web site, died after being struck by a car Monday. |

These people are despicable.
Posted by: swatter on February 6, 2006 04:27 PMMrs Gregoire's negligent attitude towards her pet, as demonstrated by the fact the pooch was left with apparently irresponsible persons-who allowed the mutt to be running loose and unattended when hit by an unsuspecting motorist, speaks volumes about her negligent attitude towards taxpayers...
Just more disposable items, like pets.....
Actions speak louder than words, Queenie......
This does kind of make you wonder about the level of protection being provided by the State Patrol, though.
I would also like to point out that having your own website is no indication of popularity. I say this from personal experience...

Yea right, in 2005 all of a sudden wild animals attack the Govs dumpster.

Posted by: turtleishappy on February 6, 2006 05:46 PMThere's no humor in making light of the loss of a pet. The liberals could use this as some serious ammo in the future.

that the Gov had so little respect for her pet that she left it it the hands of those who could care less.
The Gov's casual attitude regarding her `
own responsibilities speaks volumes about who she is.
A complete puke.
Which reflects her attitude toward taxpayers.
Which reflects her attitude towards governance: the stinking masses need to be led by the nose.

I consider it tacky and beneath us to make jokes about this....I've seen the Democratic Undergorund website make incredibly cruel jokes over the personal tragedies of Republicans...I would expect it from there...not from here.....
Posted by: Deborah on February 6, 2006 07:35 PMHoping to reach out to the Korean community the Washington State's own Queen Gregoire issued a single line press release after the demise of the popular first State dog Franz, who was murdered today by a gas guzzling rampaging SUV.
Meanwhile palace insiders state that the Queen will donate a small portion of Franz' DNA to the bio-tech community the Queen so admires -- with your tax dollars -- in the hopes of producing a Franz the II, just like the first. In that way the Queendom will have Franz and get to eat him too.
No word yet whether Franzgate is all just a ploy leading to cloning the Queen and thereby avoiding future ascendancy battles for the throne.
(Sorry this was just too easy to pass up. I now return to my neglect of my former state. Hey, if you won't fight for it, why should I? -- Jericho)
ps. I'm sure somebody really did love that dog, and for them I am sorry it is dead even if that person be the Queen. I hope the dog didn't suffer. Maybe if the people will rise up and put the Queen on a leash they will end their suffering too.
Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar, all for revolution stand up and holler.
Posted by: Jericho on February 6, 2006 07:42 PMAnd as I recall, there sure seems to be a lot of laughter at the expense of the right-wing. The hilarity that ensued from the left when Dubya choked on that pretzel comes to mind. Gee, I guess choking isn't as serious as a dead dog. I also seem to remember some rather tasteless comments when both Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul died.
How come humor at the expense of someone else is only tasteless when it's something that happens to someone you like?
And anyway, I fail to see why the TRUE Democrats aren't banding with me here. Cook the dog! Feed it to the homeless! What's so wrong with that? It embodies all the principles of conservation and social welfare that the Democrats claim to be for. Are you telling me that you'd rather let available food be wasted, and (continue to) let the poor and indigent starve? Shame on you!

Rumor has it that the knucklehead left in charge of Franz was a Mr. David Castrati KLOWNstein. You know, the PINHEAD widely known as the KLOWN with No Balls.

I don;t know how many of you have ever lost a favorite pet but it hurts.
Comments about Korean food is over the top as well. My real concern about the article is the fact she was away at the super bowl. Anyone care to venture a guess on whos dime? Posted by: Jim L on February 6, 2006 10:16 PM
It would probably be best to bury that story, until the necessary checking is done (it is not there yet) to ensure 99.8% accuracy - one that any bank would be proud of (hate to throw a Ron Sims quote back at you, since his governance is despicable), but why is this being overlooked ? Come on now, otherwise this blog could start to be regarded with little credibility like horses butt.
Oh, where oh where can the little dogs master be...
On a trade mission to Detroit and the Super Bowl, I see…
Maybe it was the State Patrols fault… or maybe George 43
Therefore, we have to ask the question… “WHO LET THE DOGS OUT”
Was it an attempt by the little guy for attention, just gone amiss?
What about the driver of the car, is he/she a Democrat victim or a Republican murderer?
I fear we will not read, see, or hear of these pressing questions in any media. Posted by: joey bag-of-donuts on February 7, 2006 12:07 AM
ALL CAP’S, THAT’S MY THING!!!...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- In an amazing story of canine survival California-style, a dog named Dosha has shown she has nearly as many lives as the average cat.
Dosha was hit by a car near her owner's Clearwater, California, home on April 15. Next, a police officer shot her in the head to put her out of her misery. Then, presumed dead, she was put in a freezer at an animal control center.
Two hours later, when a veterinarian opened the door to the freezer, she was shocked to find Dosha, a 10-month-old of mixed-breeding, standing upright in a plastic orange bag -- the equivalent of a human body bag.
Appearing on national television Wednesday, Dosha seemed in fine spirits apart from a gunshot wound to her head and other injuries sustained from being hit by the car.
"When she first came in we called her miracle girl because we couldn't believe what she had gone through and was still with us," said veterinarian Deborah Sally on NBC's "Today" show.
"She's doing amazingly well," added Sally, who said the dog had suffered from hypothermia after being put in the fridge.
Sounds to me like Franz wasn't tough enough.
CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. — Buddy, former President Clinton's ebullient chocolate retriever, was killed by a car near the Clinton home, police said Thursday.
Officer Bruce Cathie of the New Castle police said Buddy was accidentally struck Wednesday afternoon on Route 117, a busy two-lane road at the end of Old House Lane, the cul-de-sac that includes the ex-president's home.
Sounds like Dog Safety is a real problem for Elected Democrats....among a plethora of problems of course.
I think the Sound Politics guys need to get out more. Maybe see a basketball game and go to the zoo.

Let's talk about the WSDOT annoucement that the Hood Canal Bridge is 62% over budget. Or the ridiculous State Pension Fund is underfunded because the Democrats gave away previous year gains. Or how about the status of the 1000 middle-managers Gregoire promised to eliminate. She made it sound like the State was downsizing. All she did was call them something else. What a joke. How about all the businesses in the Spokane area that are moving across the border to Post Falls Idaho due to excessive State government redtape, taxes, fees & bureaucracy? The floodgate is open.
Instead, Ms. Gregoire would rather we "mourn" poor Franz. It's time for me to eat my breakfast. Scrambled eggs with sausage patties and lots of ketchup & hot sauce. Munch-munch. Look here is a picture of Franz right after the accident. Munch-munch. Kind of gruesome. Too bad. Cute dog. Honey, pass the ketchup. Posted by: dude on February 7, 2006 06:25 AM
How can people be so callous towards the needs of the homeless, but then have the audacity to call folks "tasteless" for suggesting we feed them (with Fido here).
It shows where your true values are - you don't care about people, you certainly don't care about social welfare - but you'll get all worked up over YET ANOTHER non-human animal that gets hit by a car.
Sheesh. Priorities people.
Posted by: turtleishappy on February 7, 2006 07:04 AMOldDog, I asked which public funds were used and all you did was call me a name and say someone else does it. So, OldDog, since you're so bright and witty, answer the question: which public funds were used? Try to be a bit factual this time.
Posted by: GMT on February 7, 2006 07:12 AMWe have 2 potential ways to deal with and solve the 62% cost overrun at WSDOT-Hood Canal Bridge:
1) trick all WSDOT employees into not paying their union dues.......FIRED, on the spot
2) trick all WSDOT employees into wearing flags upside down and running into an HOV lane....Oops, not enough traffic in an HOV lane-better run in front of a bus
I think you are on to something..

It was no accident I got hit by a car. I was not killed on the day the MSM is reporting. It was a different day. An that day, the queen, cruella deville, screamed at me and chased me out into a busy intersection. She was mad becaue I tore up her John kerry for President banner and peed on a copy of Michael Moore's book.
Anyway, I am glad to finally be gone from there. Oh, and I WILL be voting in all the future elections. See, in Washington State when you die, you are required to continue voting.
See ya fellas later.
Your canine colleague, Franz.

as a governor she could have taken franz with her to the superbowl....and if she really cared about him she would have. or made sure that he was kenneled and safe. but as usual the crazy lefties must make queenie out to be a victim when she is actually the perpetrator.
the only reason she even had the dog was the same reason hillary popped out one kid...street[political] cred.
but i guess in the end[pun intended] she decided to follow in her hero's [bill clinton's] footsteps and let her dog get run over for the pity effect.
shame on you queenie....i hope PETA sanctions you for your neglect and cruelty.
news flash..franz left a note........
* to my faithful following....i just couldn't take it anymore. when i took "the job" i was told that i would hear bitches whining at my feet. i just never in my wildest dreams thought it would be THAT bitch whining....and i would be at HER feet.

so at last..i am safe.

Posted by: baynative on February 8, 2006 05:46 AMHe was a mature dog (11 years old).
Franz lived a privileged life.
The taxpayers helped bay for his security & well-being because his owner and family were trapsing around rather than taking care of him.
By the way, who paid for those Super Bowl tickets?
Who paid for the airline tickets and accomodations?
How about the meals?
No, Franz was far from innocent.
Perhaps he ran out into the road because he was feeling abandoned?
The Left are big into psychologists and mental health professionals. Had Franz received any help? Too late sadly. Posted by: dude on February 8, 2006 06:08 AM

Franz DID NOT DIE of natural causes, Franz was terminated by at best a neglectful mistake and at worst just plain self indulgent benign neglect by an arrogant, self centered, mean spirited woman who finds most anyone/anything disposable in relation to acheiving "fairness/diversity/etc/etc."
Crude, insensitive, mean? Gee, that doesnt apply to the brutal comments about GW Bush/Republicans coming from Dems? But thats OK??

What was the last thing Franz saw?
Answer-
The world behind him from the viewpoint of his little a$$hole!
The "LEFT" front tire!
The hate and vile comments from the left are best the province of those wacko loons. Carol's right, cruel comments belong on the HA website, not here. The loss of a beloved pet is a tragedy for both the animal and the family. I don't know all the details, didn't read the articles, but sometimes accidents happen. That doesn't lessen the Gregoire family's pain.
I agree with Carol that the comments about Fritz are not funny. They show a mean streak that I thought only existed on the left or fringe right. Attack Mrs. G., she's a public figure and deserves all the criticism she receives. But making fun of the death of her dog is not funny and crosses the line.
The fact that the left has no class is not material. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard.
You are right of course Joseph....in most situations.
The Governor however has used Franz as a prop. I mean a Franz website, hiring professionals to trap & eliminate other animals for Franz, leaving Franz to go to the Super Bowl. Franz became a public figure himself in an effort to help soften Gregoire's public image. She masterfully used Franz. All the news about this dog found it's way into the MSM....pure publicity, don't you think? I do. Had she merely enjoyed her god and allowed him to live a private life, perhaps he would still be around today.
Posted by: Mr. Cynical on February 9, 2006 06:39 AM
Mrs. G., however, is the on that should bear the brunt of our heat. Making fun of the death of a pet is just plain cruel. That's why I'm posting under my real name, because I believe so strongly about this issue.
Then, her arrogant negligence splattered her prop.
Then, she pulls a teary press conference.
Her PR instincts are hamhanded at best. She clearly has idiot PR advisors, yes men and yes women headbobbers. Reminds us graphically of the loons who surrounded Hitler and lied to him to curry favor.
To call those of us who call a phony a phony cruel, for pointing out her cruelty/neglect, is transparent and diversionary.
Typical liberal BS; make the perpetrator the victim.....Tookie Williams style....
Posted by: THS on February 9, 2006 09:33 AMI didn't call anyone cruel. I said that some of the comments are cruel. Attack her; it's her responsibility to care for her pets, so Franz's death is her responsibility, no matter how much she wants to blame someone else.
I still stand by my statements. I know some people were trying to be funny. I, and many others, just don't find those comments funny. I'm sure the people that made them are nice, and are not the anger filled loons of the left, but I don't find it funny to make jokes when someone's pet is tragically killed, even if the owners are irresponsible.
And don't call me a liberal; them's fighting words. My conservative pedigree is beyond reproach.
Critized the queen all you want, I'm with you. But the comments about serving up the poor pooch for dinner are, well, rather "tasteless."
Posted by: Joseph Cantu on February 9, 2006 09:55 AMI guess that just shows that I need to toughen myself up because I know that if it happened to a conservative leader, they would be making all kinds of jokes about it.
One of the many things I hate about the evil Liberals is what I must turn into in order to defeat them. They are truely evil incarnate and are as bad if not worst than Al Quada.
Posted by: Jim on February 9, 2006 10:04 AMI admit that I had a moment of "sympathy for the devil" which was probably related to a recent death of a member of a friend's family, but don't criticize those out there who are fighting the good fight.
Remember what the liberals are. And what they did at the King funeral the other day. They will use any opportunity, take any chance to attack our side.
I am surprised that she hasn't blamed George Bush for the dog's death. I don't know how she would but they are very creative in finding ways to blame George Bush.
There is one piece of this story that is missing. WHO KILLED THE DOG? The legislature is in session so it could have been a legislator or a prominent lobbyist. There might be a "rest of the story" here that the news media refuse to print, but which I believe the Public has the Right to know.
Posted by: Jim on February 9, 2006 10:14 AMBut I do have a soft spot in my heart for the helpless and animals, especially dogs; to me it's the same as making fun of a disabled person. I could easily throw the switch on a convicted killer, or shoot someone threatening my family, but I won't make fun of someone's loss of a pet, even if I have a profound lack of respect for that person.
I have nothing against about the rest of the Gregoire family. In my opinion the comments about Franz don't reflect the true sense of compassion that our party represents. It makes us seem petty and small, like the democrats.
Posted by: Joseph Cantu on February 9, 2006 11:50 AMI guess it shows how deep the contempt is for Gregoire....people that are normally level-headed seize any moment to spank her.
Gregoire's use of a beloved dog as a prop is shameless.
Gregoire's failure to take responsibilty for Franz' death is shameless.
Frankly, it is a distraction from things that are important to all of us. This isn't. You're right.
Posted by: Mr. Cynical on February 9, 2006 03:12 PM
You might be a trained killer physically. But you need to train yourself to be a "killer" when it comes to politics and the public debate.
Ms Gregoire has "served up" state employees unwilling to pay extortion to a union as cannon fodder.
Ms Gregoire has "served up" taxpayers to fulfill her obligation to the teacher's unions for massive cash contibutions to her and her party.
Ms Gregoire has " served up" state contracted day care workers to the extortion of the SEIU thugs.
MS Gegoire has shown compassion for a dog that her neglect terminated.
Screw her.......
Give her no quarter.
She is a ideological thug, no different than Marx and Lenin and Stalin.....the means justify the end.
She chooses to play martyr regarding HER IRRESPONSIBILITY regarding her dog's death.
She, an absolute racist at the UW, she a hypocrite for the ages, deserves nothing but contempt in all ways.
These statements are not political, they are aimed at a pathetic, sickening human being in her late 50's who has no screaming clue about the realities of life.
She is a pathetic, self indulged, self absorbed baby boomer that has been an embarrasment to this great State......

theres a lady here where I live and she was whining and complaining that she let her cat out, and it came home shot in the head and about teh time she opened her door to let it in, it dropped dead on her doorstep. I said "excsue me ma'am-had you not let your cat out to roam and wander, and maybe instead had it on a leash or kept it inside, this would not have happened. It is only you to blame." Needless to say she was quite ticked off. I walked away. You loser animal owners who let thier animals run loose-If I wanted dog poo in my yard, id get my own dog. Letting animals run loose is irresponsible and rude. You need to realize animals are for the most part, dumb, and have no understanding of traffic as we humans do. Keep your darn animals up out of harms way and no harm will come to them. Plain and simple. Its not democratic or republican to say so. Its common sense. Posted by: Jody on February 28, 2006 08:44 PM
