MEMO|RANDOM|: Republican Politics

Here is a couple of days worth of observations about politics and the Republican Party:

  • The War on Terror should be renamed the "Petrolympics."
  • When Osama bin Laden and his aides are sitting around watching television and Bush comes on, do you think they talk shit to the screen?
  • I would start a campaign to restore privacy rights, but I'm afraid they'll check my background.
  • There is a guaranteed method of winning every political argument. At the end of your sentence, add "in a post-9/11 world."
  • Somebody should wiretap the NSA.
  • Both parties have have adopted modifications of the "cut and run" strategy and rhetoric. The Republican strategy is now "cut and gun." The Democrats' is "cut and paste."
  • If we extend the metaphor, the Bush Cabinet is full of tupperware and those mugs that, when you pour liquid in them, the person's clothes disappear.
  • Every once in a while, Bush turns to his closest aides and says, "Can you fucking believe that I'm president?"
  • I heard a rumor that Dick Cheney dodged his fantasy football draft.
  • We should start a "War on Overconfidence."
  • I love how we're fighting "al-Qaeda in Iraq." Is that like "NFL Europe?"
