Golden Retriever Runs for Governor of Alaska

Monday, July 10, 2006

Brinkley for GovernorNBC10 of Philadelphia reports that a two-year old Golden Retriever named Brinkley is a write-in candidate for Alaska's next Governor.

Brinkley and his owner have already sold $4,000 worth of "Brinkley for Governor" t-shirts.

If elected, he'll be the first Governor to have his poop hand-picked.

  • You've got to be kidding me??? This is about the most ridiculous news I have ever heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dog lover, but come on. No way in any person's right mind should they vote for a canine Governor. I guess it's a great way for the owner to make money, but why at the expense of our political system. If one person gets away with this, then who knows what might happen next. We might get a pot-bellied pig to run for President. Come on now people. Or maybe an iguana can run for the Mayor of my city. The things our world is coming to. What can I say?????????

  • I think this is only to make a point!

    Maybe it's a way of showing dissatisfaction with the candidates.

  • You guys are party poopers! It's funny, it's cute and a lot of people are having fun with it and profits go to good dog rescue groups. Lighten up or go join a political board! Geeez!

  • FYI...Brinkley's owner is donating all the proceeds to animal rescue/animal care organizations....his owner IS NOT "making money" for their own use.

  • Get a life and lighten up vesta...come on it's for a good cause, helping animal rescue groups and before my sister did this she went to the other major candidates to get their take on the idea...they all loved it ..so have some fun with it or join a political forum to vent your political frustrations.

  • As a dog with political hopes, I'd like to wish Brinkley the best of luck as he pursues the governorship of Alaska. I'm impressed by his optimism. Governor is thinking big.

  • I just got my Brinkley Tee and I love it!!! I agree that its a great conversation starter. I wore it to the grocery store and had 3 - 4 people in line ask me where I got it because they wanted one. It makes me smile just to put it on. How could you not love that big, fat tongue hangin' out of that big, smile of his? Wish the other candidates had a smile as sincere as Brinkleys!

  • I think this is silly but hey the money is going right back to the community and saving the lives of fellow animals.
    GO BRINKLEY GO!

  • I don't think it's any more silly than any of our other candidates and their run for governor. I like that it's something in the news to laugh about and feel good about. I really like the awareness it's raising in regard to homeless animals. Go Brinkley!

  • You've got my vote Brinkley!

  • I think that that would be cool to have a dog-governor. it would be a little weird, since the dog can't talk and make decisions, but compared to the people governors with all their promises they don't keep, i would absolutley vote for that dog.

  • GO BRINKLEY!

  • vesta, you should really lighten up, the owner is giving ht money to rescue groups. AND NO ONE WOULD VOTE FOR A POT-BELLIED PIG FOR PRESIDENT. Beacause there are more dog lovers than pig lovers. :) I tell Brinkley to go all the way!!!

  • Go for it Brinkley!!! Why not have a legitimate son-of-a-bitch run for governor? HE HAS HIS PAW ON THE PULSE OF THE STATE!

  • Hey if a dead guy can win an election (this really happened) then why not a dog? Of course, this is satire at its finest. I can not think of a more loyal and selfless candidate.
