Gary Johnson cleaning up with his dog poop quip - Los Angeles Times - Michael Muskal:
Sep. 23, 2011 - "Gary Johnson, the libertarian former governor of New Mexico, seemingly has found a way to make political gold out of dog poop.
"In a throwaway line at the GOP presidential debate on Thursday night, Johnson ... won the comedy award of the night during questioning about the Obama administration’s stimulus spending plans."
"'My next-door neighbor's two dogs have created more shovel-ready jobs than this current administration,' he shot back. The line ... rocked the house, proving that oldies are always goodies. It also brought a moment of recognition to Johnson, making his first serious national debate appearance, and for one quick shining moment allowed him to break away from the pack of Republican nominees.
"On Friday, Johnson followed up with a visit to Florida conservatives. He outlined his oft-repeated calls for smaller government, less taxes and more social freedom.... 'Right now I am the most Googled name on the planet, because last night I came up with a witty sentence on dog poop.' Johnson said as the audience laughed."
