Barry Blitt, the cartoonist responsible for the New Yorker's
controversial terrorist fist-jabbing cover, among others, returns this
week to "vet" Barack Obama. Of course this time around "Vetting" refers
to the all important decision of picking a "first" puppy — thus far we
know they want a mutt, but that it needs to be hypoallergenic and won't
be a girly dog. The cover may not be all that far off the mark,
actually, turns out the original meaning of the word "vetting" was to
to "submit an animal to examination by a veterinarian."
