GANNETT CORPORATE SLOGAN “WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE COVERAGE” EVIDENTLY APPLIES TO DOGS IN BOOTIES AND OLIVER THE SCARF-WEARING PARROT
FITSNews – December 19, 2006 - If Dan Hoover were dead, he’d be rolling over in his grave right about now.
As it stands, the legendary Greenville News political reporter is probably just grumbling at the watercooler to his colleagues, wondering how in the hell his first full week as the dean of South Carolina’s political press corps (The State‘s Lee Bandy retired last week) managed to get upstaged by a picture of a dog wearing booties.
Anyway, if you really don’t like yourself all that much, you can access the full collection of reader-submitted photos by clicking here. We made it to a picture of a scarf-clad Quaker Parrot named Oliver before we had to stop.
Seriously, what in the hell is up at the Greenville News these days?
You can’t even log onto their damn site anymore without having to clear a full-screen pop-up from Mack Whittle’s Carolina First Bank offering a 2.9 APR on some credit card. And all that does is take you to dogs modeling festive Christmas footwear and Oliver the scarf-wearing Parrot from Powdersville.
Alright, alright. Here’s Oliver:
Oliver even got a quote. He says, “I am so ready for Christmas!”
So are we, Oliver. So are we.
We are so ready for Christmas.
