Triumph Triumphs Over Pataki
ICYMI: Here’s a clip of Triumph the Comic Dog “covering” spin alley after the third and final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla. for Conan O’Brien’s show.
No one is safe from the puppet’s barbs – not even the media. In the middle of a scrum of reporters trying to interview Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Triumph starts humping some poor bald guy’s head.
Just after the four-minute mark, Triumph “interviews” former Gov. George Pataki, who flew to Florida to join Mitt Romney’s post-debate team of surrogates.
Pataki tries in vain to convince Triumph that Romney did in fact win the foreign policy debate, despite the convention wisdom that President Obama turned in a much stronger performance.
“Listen to this guy!” Triumph cries. “He cares less about what comes out of his mouth than Kim Kardashian cares about what goes into hers.”
There’s also a brief interlude between Triumph and Long Island Rep. Pete King.
The dog warns a reporter waiting for the congressman to get off his cell phone that he should probably “run” before King, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee and is known for controversial hearings, mistakes him for a Muslim and calls security.
This clip is also worth watching for a glimpse of Conan with dreadlocks. No joke.
