Dub's Doggies...
This new Shrub-mercial with the wolves is perfect for that group of lunkheads.

The demonization of wolves has been a brutal constant with cultures and individuals that harbor disdain for the natural world. It's a damn travesty, too, considering the behavioral tendencies shared by homo sapiens and canis lupus Linnaeus.

Or maybe that's it, maybe the familiarities scare people like Shrub.

2. It will backfire ...

If they wanted an effect, they should have showed wolves snarling and snapping at each other over a carcass. Instead they showed them lying around. And you know what, they looked CUTE!!!!!

No really, they were very beautiful animals. They should have stuck with "evil caricatures".

3. I find it ironic
That they used wolves as a metaphor, even though they are more afraid of us than we are of them. Because, unlike Al-Qaeda, do you ever hear of wolves attacking towns.
