Karl Rove is SOOO like Boo Radley

[PretzelWarrior]

the spooky look. and they're both just so quiet

[Charlie Brown]

1. Boo was a kind person

Rove is evil.

3. Yes, Boo was kind and quiet. Rove is neither. nt

[Nostradammit]

2. Bullshit!

I never expect to see Karl Rove acting bravely to save some kids.

Ever.

4. who is Boo Radley?

There's a bar in town called "Boo Radley's," but I've never been there.

5. kind character in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Scout is afraid of him at first...then finds out looks can be deceiving.

Just following along the whole Bush = Atticus Finch joke Tweety told on Hardball.

6. thanks

I've read the book, but it's been a long time. Maybe I'll check out that bar after all.

7. How can you dis Boo Radley this way, clearly you never actually

read the book OR saw the movie. Rove is crap, Boo Radley ROCKS!

[PretzelWarrior]

8. is my joke sailing so high over everyone's head???

was sendup of Chris Matthews comparing BUsh to Atticus Finch

Yes, I read the book and watched the movie.

SHEEESH

[PetraPooh]

9. not over my head, but I don't have cable so I didn't know

about Chris Matthew's comparison. It would've been cool if you had mentioned it instead of assuming we can all afford cable. Being unemployed and not having found a job yet, cable and high speed internet are the first things to be disconnected to make ends meet.

[PretzelWarrior]

10. ah. sorry. it was in multiple other threads

and explaining jokes rather takes the fun out of them.

apologies.

ciao!

[Hekate]

11. Chris Matthews did WHAT? Ewwwwwww

My gods how on Earth could Tweety have even THOUGHT Bush has any resemblance to Atticus Finch? And he wasn't making some kind of lame joke? Ewwwwww

No wonder you said that thing about poor innocent Boo Radley. I get it now -- it's like one of those SAT "is to" questions: "George W. Bush is to Atticus Finch as Karl Rove is to Boo Radley."

Must go wash eyes out now.
