That "Countdown" segment on "41" & "43" made me throw up a little.
Started off badly with a comparison between "Connecticut" Poppy and the "Texas swagger" of Junior (complete with a shot of him walking on the pig farm with his chest thrown out. Then they said that the Boy King "never had the knack for diplomacy" like his dad, primarily because he doesn't like to listen to people.

:puke:

2. junior has exposed the whole lot
he's shown them to be about as capable as barney fife, and possesing the ethics of a ted bundy, serial killer...the pigmedia will labour frantically for years to build up geeb (brother of john ellis bush, or 'jeb' gettit?) just like they did regan, but geeb simply exposes the fact he, his horrific old man and that appalling asshole regan were all 3rd rate losers who probably couldn't even wipe their own arse, and were mere frontmen for the most vicious criminals on earth....

4. Sorry, but I have a real soft spot for barney fife, even though
he was so totally inept.
Could you perhaps think of another analogy?
Perhaps the use of the "boy king" would work just as well???
(No nastiness or anything intended...I just loved Don Knotts in all his character's ineptness...Barney Fife....the character on "Three's Company"..his name escapes me now..oh, yes..it was Mr. Furley.)
RIP, Don Knotts. :cry:

7. yes...right. Barney was great.
i think there are better analogies, but i always think of barney going for his gun, getting it caught inholster and battling mightily to get it free while the robbers merrily drive away while barney's hapless commmands to stop ring out. it's not a good analogy (bush of course kills everyone in sight, including aunt bea and little opie!)
