9. I don't know if you have revisited the

fucking thread, but it's even more hilarious now than it was before.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=1871714

The last thing we want is that man reading Catcher In The Rye. Could you imagine the crazy things he would think? All three of his brain cells would be arguing with each other. It would be hilarious.


:hi:

[Sugar Smack]

11. Ha! Maybe he'd figure out what the word "phony" means.

:D You're probably right, anyway! I really liked your imagery of his brain cells arguing with each other:

Brain cell 1: Is there goats in this book?
Brain cell 2: Nu-uh.
Brain cell 3: Shaddup. I'm the decider here.

Also, thanks for that link- That thread made me laugh so freaking hard! :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

13. "The Magic Mountain", "Huckleberry Finn", "Wuthering Heights"

"A Doll's House"
"Brave New World"
"The Odyssey"
"Flowers for Algernon"
"Little Women"
"Peer Gynt"
"A Tale of Two Cities"

"MOBY DICK"

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. I hope he knows that Cliffs Notes don't actually count as reading the book

Bush reading Camus is about as believable as a cat that can knit sweaters

[Sugar Smack]

17. You're so right. The fact that the book is little more than pamphlet-

length only adds to the absurdity. So yes, he probably did get his monkey-paws on the Cliffs Notes long enough to hand it to Condi so she'd read them to him.



:hi:

[JackBeck]

15. Ann Coulter's summer reading:

"Myra/Myron Breckinridge".

That is all.

[Sugar Smack]

18. "I'm Myra Breckinridge whom no man will ever possess"

Very, very good! :-)

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. lol funny

but would she ever read anything by that evil librul Gore Vidal? :P

[Sugar Smack]

25. Ah, good point. It'd force her perilously close

to a run-in with "irony" and "wit". :scared:

[GOPisEvil]

16. Reading, my ass. He's listening to books on cd.

:P

[Jamastiene]

19. Gee, think he's smart enough to operate a cd player?

:P

[GOPisEvil]

20. Maybe his Secret Service agent helped out.

:D

[Sugar Smack]

31. Maybe so, "Mister lucky".

:rofl: :loveya: :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

33. Hahahahaha!

Yeah, I'm the lucky one for sure. :rofl::loveya::hi:

[Sugar Smack]

34. Yeah,

You're NOT a frequent flier. *snort* :D

[Sugar Smack]

23. I think that this is the scenario:

Scene: The royal bedroom of the White House. It's late at night and Laura's in the kitchen with a half-empty bottle of gin in front of her. Her hair is askew and she seems to be losing an argument with her sock. Meanwhile, in the Royal bedroom, George reclines on the bed in his cowboy hat, Superman boxers and boots. Condi's in a candy-pink peignior and matching feather mules on her feet. She sits on a padded red-velvet chair next to George and crosses her legs becomingly.

With a small wicked grin, she says, "We're going to do a little something different tonight, Sugarbum."

George: Well, don't leave me hangin' princess. Bring it on!

Condi (pulling out "The Stranger"): Let's pretend I'm your high school teacher and you're in detention. And I'll read you a naughty book.

George: This ourghta be good. What'd I do now?

Condi: You stole money from the school funds. Okay, chapter one: 'Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure'. (voice softens and gets all breathy)

George: Say that again. It gets me all hot.




:P :P :P :P :P

[IndyBob]

22. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

or Emperor's New Clothes

I figure we should keep things short, with his AD/HD and all.

[tinfoil tiaras]

27. "Catcher in the Rye"? Isn't that too profane for our "godly", "Christian"

"president"!?! :P

[Sugar Smack]

29. Oh, definitely!! Here you go:

"Stop calling me 'Ackley kid,' God damn it. I'm old enough to be your lousy father."

You're right, come to think of it. Such a book might corrupt him. ;-)

[tinfoil tiaras]

30. Of course. & we wouldn't want God's emmisary on earth to be corrupted

by those nasty things called books... :D :P

[Sugar Smack]

32. Oh, heavens, no! For example, please read my response #23. : )

Dirty, dirty, dirty! How do those people sleep at night anyway???

[Sugar Smack]
