Joe Scarborough Loses It with Laughter After Learning Obama Admitted to Eating...Dog

"I was introduced to dog meat (tough)..."

No matter your thoughts on Joe Scarborough, this is a segment you will likely enjoy.

On Wednesday, panel member Willie Geist set his sights on Mitt Romney's infamous dog-on-the-roof story for his segment "News You Can't Use." But before you go rolling your eyes thinking it's just another anti-Romney piece in the media, just wait: Geist also introduced a far less known story about Obama's own dog controversy. You remember, the time he admitted to eating dog.

Yes, Obama has eaten dog and admitted to it. In fact, the Daily Caller found it in Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father":

“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.” [Emphasis added]

And yes, there's audio of Obama reading it:

The news has sparked a twitter war of sorts between the Romney and Obama camps, especially after David Axelrod famously tweeted a picture of Obama and his dog a few months ago taking a shot at Romney and saying, "How loving owners transport their dogs." ABC's Jake Tapper explains:

The discovery that the president had eaten dog meat prompted wise-cracks on twitter (hashtag — #ObamaDogRecipes) and this tweet from Romney strategist Eric Fehrstrom, who re-tweeted Axelrod’s original message with a different take on the picture of the president and Bo.

“@EricFehrn: In hindsight, a chilling photo,” he wrote.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt tweeted in response:  “@BenLaBolt  What’s the next attack @EricFerhn and the RNC will surface on a 6-10 year old?”

With the segment already fairly whacky at this point, Scarbourough lost it after Geist read the tweets:

By the way, the Daily Caller is having a lot of fun with news. In fact, they've even created some graphics and clever tag lines.
