if we were to take what he said seriously, torturing and general animal abuse and more dogs than homes(shelters) is a different thing all together than consuming dogs. I can't get worked about joke when plenty of other animals are being consumed in reality. I realize dogs are friendly, social, & helpful to humans but is it really the cows, pigs, & chickens fault they don't have the brains & behavior characteristics dogs have?

What was funny to me was creative altering that lipstick Palin line while poking fun at himself a bit. Most things can be funny if done right, even murder of humans. Jelly in Analyze That mentioned someone committed suicide by stabbing himself in the back several times and threw himself off the bridge. Not for everyone or maybe that specific example isn't funny, there is Charlie Harper in 2 and a Half Men who claimed to see his father's floating head (don't know if he is dead or left the family) in the ocean telling him to "take of your mother". In the end he was watching a mafia where they are discussing killing someone by saying, "take care of him/her" with Charlie looking up and saying, "I got the message". It is not endorsement of murder or Obama's joke an endorsement of what you described, he has a dog himself. Actors will turn down roles for all sorts of reasons, but I don't think less of Anthony Hopkings for playing a serial killing sociopath. It also doesn't mean he takes serial killing lightly.
