An on-air personality at the Spanish-language FM radio station WBON-FM 98.5 (formally "The Bone") recently interviewed candidate McGoo as part of their Southern-States outreach programming. WBON is running a series on Hispanic candidates. McGoo's species and Ibizan roots have generated a great deal of interest within the listener communities that WBON serves. Excerpt from the interview...
WBON: A recent poll by Associated Press says that one third of all Americans hold unfavorable attitudes towards Hispanic candidates. How do you think the American people judge you?
McGoo (speaking through a pet communicator): I’m still tied or in the lead with Lucy Lou. Uhhh… that tells me that the American people are good, that they are judging me on my ideas and my vision and my values and not on my bloodline or my disproportionately large ear lobes. Now... are there gonna be some people who don’t vote for me because of my Hispanic heritage? Of course!
WBON: So how significant is this to your campaign and how do you address the issue?
McGoo: I think it's significantly meaningless. The fact is that I'm a 4th generation American-bred beezer, the product of a proud immigrant family with deep roots within this community and service to country. My owner's son is serving in Afghanistan (1/6 Marines) right now and my Uncle Handsome (Ch. Serandida's Spirit of Luxor) recently won Breed at the Westminster Kennel Club. He lost Group to a Beagle named Uno who went on to win Best in Show. Now what's that say? A beagle hasn't won that show in 26 years... and here we have a LATIN beagle who takes the golden bone home. All boats rise with this tide and that's what I expect to do down on the banks of the Ohio River at Rabbit Hash, Kentucky.
