Whenever George W. Bush says something about keeping America safe from Terrorist attacks since 9/11, two quotes pop into my mind.
First is Keith Olbermann, who said “Yes, but doesn’t THEN count?”
Second is this exchange from The Simpsons (yes, the show applies to everything).
Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a
charm.
Lisa: That's spacious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
Today was Bush’s farewell address, and this was a big theme. That and the statement “Some people didn’t agree with the tough decisions I had to make… but we can all agree that I made the tough decisions.” I should hope so, considering that was his job. Maybe he outsourced that as well.
I wonder if anyone was allowed to actually wear shoes during the speech…
