THE WHITE HOUSE DOG SCANDAL. Last week, President Joe Biden’s German shepherd Commander bit a Secret Service agent. That marked the 11th time — yes, the 11th time — that Commander had bitten one of the agents and other Secret Service officers who guard the president. Some of the attacks left wounds requiring medical attention, and at least one required hospital care for Commander’s victim.

Obviously the dog should have been removed from the White House a long time ago. What other workplace would allow a dog, even the boss’s dog, to remain after biting at least 11 people? I say “at least” because there are 11 known incidents, but it’s not clear that all the incidents are known. The situation is actually a scandal, and it reflects badly on Biden, who apparently does not care if his dog repeatedly attacks the people who protect him.
