Giving Bush credit for killing Osama reminds me of a scene from "Galaxie Quest".
Edited on Wed May-04-11 08:57 AM by HopeHoops
It is the one where Dr. Lazarus and Quillic open the door to the crew quarters after Tech Sgt. Chen restores the oxygen seal.

One of the Thermians yells, "He has saved us! Commander Taggart has saved us!"

"It's just not fair." - Dr. Lazarus.

16. I think my favorite line is the very subtle, "wow, the floors are so clean."
Second in line is probably, "but you live with your mother."

That's just in the "subtle lines" category. The best line of all has to be, "Oh, that's not right."

8. That George Bush is really a magical president.
He's in charge on September 11, 2001 and yet it's not his fault. He's been in charge for over 6 years when in 2007/2008 the American economy takes a flaming nose dive and yet he's not responsible. But when Osama bin Laden is killed over 2 years after he leaves office he's the man. How does that happen?

21. Isn't it wonderful? I've been turning this over and over in my mind
for hours.

Catching up with Osama wasn't "a priority" with GWB and yet he magically managed to get the job done after being out of office a couple years!

What a truly astonishing leader!!! We just failed to appreciate GWB when he was in office!

You know -- back when catching OBL wasn't "a priority."

:crazy:

20. to a degree though, it was Commander Taggart
He was the one who sent Dr. Lazarus to open the door and he also was the one who sent Tech. Sgt. Chen to open the airlock. So for Taggart to get credit is more similar to Obama getting credit even though it was Seal Team 6 that did the actual work.

This would be more like giving Captain Pike credit for something that Captain Kirk ordered, although that actually might be true for Picard since that poor copy of a shadow gets most of his ideas from Captain Kirk anyway.

25. Bush is more like Lt. Lathe - whatever he did, he was on the wrong side.
