Jesse for President!
Jesse: I don't know that I would have done a better job than Bush, frankly, because I would have spent all my time avoiding work with you people!
megan walker: Talking how you hate your cow-orker the Vice President, wondering what Speaker Pelosi would look like in a corset, and complaining about how the White Chef chef puts cilantro in everything?
brenda m: Oh, yeah. Can you picture President Jesse lecturing Congress? "You're going to just need to work it out in the thread. Don't make me Marcie your asses." And press conferences. "I've consulted with my Gang of Fourteen and we are in agreement: national F2F will be in Miami. Book early - rooms are going to be a bitch. Also: am not cowgirl. That is all."
Sophia Brooks: I am actually picturing President Jesse speaking to Congress IN the cowgirl costume.
Trudy Booth: It's because she's so real and folksy that the electorate connected with her. Who doesn't love a cowgirl?
It had to be done.
Gud: I'm finding the "Swedish Solution" to the crisis interesting...
tommyrot: I'm just scared of all the bad jokes it will spawn....
amych: What, just because we all know that the economy is bork bork borked?
Daniel C. Jensen:
Can Sarah Palin say the word "maverick" more? I keep expecting James Garner to come onscreen and tell her to stop.
Tom Scola:
Whenever I get a label maker, the first thing I usually do is make a label that says "label maker".
Daniel C. Jensen:
I also bought Windsparrow some grease fittings, sway bar links, and bushings for her car suspension.
Not so much romantic as whiligigs.
Oh, and a dome light lamp.
WindSparrow:
And it really isn't as romantic as spending your days sitting by the hospital bedside of my car-crash-comaed body after I lose control of the steering on an icy road, veer off into a ditch, have both front wheels fall off, and still have enough of the tail of the car sticking out on the road to be crunched by the Semi that couldn't stop in time. But I'll take what I can get.
tommyrot:
It's sad when comedians make more sense than politicians and political commentators. Or is that always the case?
Matt the Bruins fan:
... there is a fine tradition of that running back at least as far as Will Rogers.
SailAweigh:
Personally, I'd take it back to Mark Twain.
Frankenbuddha:
I'd say Mark Twain. More of a comedic writer, but he made fairly non-stop speaking appearences, didn't he?
SailAweigh:
We are Twains that met, Frank!
tommyrot:
So East is West and West is East?
