Iggy pop culture war?

Poor Ellen. She gave away a dog and can't understand why that was a bad thing.

Here is what others are saying about it:

Los Angeles Times

E Online

Washington Post

Emil Steiner, the Post blogger, asks the question if he is the only person in America who wasn't moved by DeGeneres's on-air sobbing about the dog.

Add me to the list, Emil.

DeGeneres calls the agreement to give the dog back to the adoption agency a technicality. I remember when I got Kate from the shelter in Manhattan back in the stone age that I had to sign a similar agreement.

She could have handled it much differently. If she had called the agency and told them that she had lined up a suitable family for the dog, then the agency could have checked them out.

And someone with her resources couldn't have set aside an area of her home where the dog wouldn't bother the cats? Just wondering, that's all.
