David Axelrod Calls Carrie Prejean (Miss California) a Dog?

White House senior adviser David Axelrod seemed to call Miss California Carrie Prejean a dog. Here is the quote at issue:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22563.html

"When Axelrod was asked if he had weighed in on the Obama family’s dog choice, "the Rasputin in this kingdom" (as Sagal jokingly refered to him) sassed back, “I was only called in for the final three, and one was Miss California.”"

It seems to me that that Axelrod was attempting a joke indicating the Carrie Prejean (Miss California) was one of the final three dogs he was helping Obama pick from to chose as his pet. This can be taken all sorts of negative ways from saying that Carrie Prejean and/or woman are sub human (dogs), to Carrie Prejean and/or woman can be owned like pets.

I am not advocated people get offended by this comment, nor that people should brush it off as attempted humor. I am advocating constancy. As is nicely stated over at http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2009/05/15/will-obama-fire-david-axelrod-for-calling-miss-california-a-dog; Obama weighed in heavily against Don Imus for his attempt at humor, he should either do the same against David Axelrod (meaning fire him) or explain why Axelrod's 'joke' was less offensive.
