You know... He really never said which one would be Hitler... :evil:

He also didn't say either of them would be Hitler.

It seems pretty clear to me that he simply meant it was a meeting between people who have nothing in common, don't like each other, and can't possibly accomplish anything by having a meeting. (Though given Hank's politics it is also clear that if roles were assigned, Obama would be the Hitler side.)

But the first rule of public political discussion is you never use Hitler in any way unless you want it to be taken in the worst possible way. That said, it is a stupid song so if buckets of faux outrage is what it takes to end the tradition then I must say this outrages more than anything since I learned Jaleel White was a klan member and this lead to the end of Family Matters.

It was a joke, Alex. :rolleyes:

Other potentially apt comparisons:

Reverend Fred and Richard Simmons (with Obama being Reverend Fred)
a Klan wizard and Barack Obama (with Obama being the Klan wizard)

Yes I know. Apologies for going on to discuss re original topic seriously without first stroking your ego on your humor skills.

Lani and I are in Kennebunkport and apparently George Bush hasn't yet gone back to Houston for the winter.

Anybody have anything they'd like me to pass on if I am able to get by the Secret Service?

You could have gone on to discuss the original topic seriously without responding to my post. By responding as you did, you made yourself look even more humor impared.

According to the National Enquirer, Barbara Bush is on her way out. And they're never wrong. Except, perennially, about Doris Day. So perhaps it's a sad time in Kennebunkport.

Nothing repeatable in polite company. :)

Hopefully the security doesn't get in the way too much.

You continue to equate being underwhelmed with your sense of humor as lacking a sense of humor. You may misjudge the quality of your output.

But still, apologies for using your comment as a springboard to a serious response to the topic without first rolling on the floor overwhelmed with mirth so that you'd know you're appreciated.
