Important government funds went to this

I know that government waste is always going to happen, because it's government, and "waste" should probably follow it just about every time it's mentioned. But I really don't know why we need barney.gov, the official website of President Bush's older dog.

Before the election, there was a "Barney Photo of the Day" updated like clockwork, but since then it's slowly died down to "week" and now "month," apparently. (I guess before the election they wanted to get that all important Scottish terrier breeder vote.) Take a look:

So, basically, this pooch gets an official dot-gov domain, films made about him and an occassional photo posted to the website. Hey, Republicans! You want to cut programs to fund Hurricane Katrina cleanup and relief? How about you start with barney.gov?

Also, I wonder if this is the safest thing in the world for Barney:
