Outgoing US President George Bush has appeared in a graphic White House video with pets Miss Beazley and Barney, in which he repeatedly strokes the latter's undercarriage, and seemingly masturbates the beast.
Bush and his family were shooting their annual holiday video along with American Olympians, and the U.S. Ryder cup team. Swimmer Michael Phelps and sexy gymnast Nastia Liukin are among the sport stars who took part in the video.
Despite the presence of so many sporting greats, though, it was Mr Bush's interaction with his canine buddy that has attracted so much attention.
Barney can be seen performing gymnastics, synchronized diving with Miss Beazley, swimming, and nailing an enormous putt to secure victory for the US Ryder Cup team.
The President's daughter, Jenna, then tells Barney:
"Let's get started!"
Animal Rights groups have protested vehemently to the White House, but the president's staff say that the dog wasn't harmed, and seemed to be enjoyed his master's 'hug'.
Mr Bush, who had a pair of underpants draped across his head this week by an irate Iraqi journalist, tells viewers he is relaxing into retirement, and:
"napping to the finish."
