Best quote:
“He has impeccable conservative credentials, extensive foreign policy experience, is a true citizen-soldier with a proven commitment to his country, and, if that’s not enough to get Bush to listen, he’s the face on the dollar bill.”
Take that, US Grant!

Yeah, but where was the Father of his Country in 2003? Telling the UN stories about van-borne mobile distilleries and agents buying sour mash in Chad. That’s where.

Who knew the father of our country had such a tiny head? I guess that made him harder to hit on the battlefield.

Fleming’s ouija board has been busy. I see there’s a serious smackdown of FDR there.
