unfair to animals

In the spirit of Libertarian Critter's objection to comparing pigs with police, Vache Folle (himself a former policeman and former "tool of the state" to use his own words) offers us the following:

Another gratuitous attack on pit bulls

Whiskey Bar, at

gratuitously slurs pit bulls by comparing them to Dick Cheney. I love Billmon and am a regular reader of the blog, but this time he has gone too far. Pit bulls are lovable and amiable and would never exploit their lesbian daughters for political gain. No pit bull has ever used a position of trust to enrich its business associates at the expense of the public. No pit bull has ever badly served his company's shareholders by incompetently buying an asbestos tainted company with no apparent due diligence. No pit bull has ever participated in lying his country into an unjust war for the enrichment of his rich friends and then f***ing it up through arrogance and ineptitude.

Pit bulls are due an apology, Mr Billmon. Cheney does not even look like a pit bull. He lacks their noble bearing and guileless simplicity.

Seems to me he's right. These may not be representative sample images -- Cheney probably doesn't usually have "DICK IS A KILLER" printed around his head, and most pitbulls probably don't wear cool shades -- but still, I really don't see much resemblance.

Combine the visual dissimilarities with VF's behavioral distinctions and I think we can consider the case closed.
