I was watching a Gene Autry movie tonight. There was a fire and he broke into action.

Well Bush* likes to be compared to the action cowboys. Can you see John Wayne sitting that long? How about the Lone Ranger? Not even Bruce Willis would wait that long.

I'm sorry, but our President is a girlie man.

4. Sky King would have been on it too...
like white on rice. His niece Penny and Annie Oakley and hell, my grandma had a quicker reaction time (and more usefulness) in a crisis than that assclown

5. Thought expirament
Imagine Clinton gets a third term and scrapped operation Roll-back. So, he's sitting around on 9/11 and someone says to him "America is under attack." And, he just sits there.

Any chance the 'thuglicans wouldn't be blaming him for the whole attack. Obviously he didn't react because he was thinking "heheheheh. Eeeex-elent. Proceeding according to plan."

Why people don't call bush on the fact that he isn't really even a leader of any kind, (he's just a spokesman for a fascist regime, either reading off a telepromter at a fourth-grade level or spouting memorized short sentences) is totally beyond me.

To wherever needed. And without delay, too.

9. You just gave me a great idea for a campaign ad!

Find a clip of a movie scene in which the hero is told that something awful has happened. Then use clever editing to show the hero doing nothing for about 10 minutes. That would be a riot.

What movies would have scenes that would work?
