FRANKEN DOGGED
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interviewed by the New York Times:
NYT: I see your album is up [for a Grammy] against one by Al Franken, as well as another by Jon Stewart.
Triumph: Forces to be reckoned with, yes? They sure took down the president. And Franken’s liberal radio is really taking off. I own a conch shell with more listeners.
NYT: This happens to be an excellent age for puppets, what with ‘‘Avenue Q’’ winning a Tony for Best Musical. Don’t you agree that puppets are flourishing?
Triumph: Sure, just look at the president—wait, I’ve got Al Franken’s jokes here by mistake.
NYT: Some people say dogs are what Democrats profess to be, because they are so inclusive and welcoming of people regardless of social class. What do you think?
Triumph: You’re not going to get me, liberal media, but I do grasp the concept. Like a lot of Democrats, we dogs can remain loyal for reasons we can no longer understand.
