The next person who says, “Bush.” I mean, isn’t the retro-hating getting a little trite?

I second Fred Phelps. He’s the only person whose death I will dance a jig for.

Perhaps he could team up with Bender, Calculon, Hedonism Bot, The Robot Devil, and the Head Of Richard Nixon to form the Robotic League Of Calamitous Intent? 😃

Getting rid of somebody like Coulter or Limbaugh or O’Reilly would make this country a better place. But they’re just loud and annoying. So I’m going to target for impact and exile John Roberts.

Yeah, I’m waffling on that. Scalia is the louder and possibly the more influential at present, but Roberts is younger _and_ the Chief Justice. I’m assuming Thomas is too quiet to have a huge impact beyond his own vote, Alito doesn’t seem to project great force, and Kennedy is the most moderate of the conservatives.

THen there’s Rove, who still may have the potential to create a political dynasty. Gingrich, who has the possibility of a Presidential comeback, and the gift of sounding perfectly intelligent and reasonable when he’s speaking in a venue where IQs exceed shoe sizes. Cheney, who is certainly doing his best to see that torture becomes a permanent part of our intelligence-gathering toolset is another real possibility. And you can never go wrong with Rush.

Still, I think I’d probably end up with you, **Nemo**. Roberts, you’re out!

Kevin Bacon. Just to see whether all actors spontaneously forget who they’ve ever acted with.

[Geert Wilders](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geert_Wilders), a Dutch neocon (though atheist) politician that’s been gaining an alarmingly big following the past few years. Whereas his spiritual predecessor Pim Fortuyn (murdered in 2002) had some flair at least, Wilders is all hatred and no charm. An intellectual amoebe, feeding the gut feelings of the great unwashed - and fuck me, it appears to be working. I guess a country deserves the government it gets, but DAMN, is this place going down the shitter fast.

Don’t second him! Pick another member of his family. If we work together we can expel the entire hive.

Phread Phelps is just a figurehead. I’d go with his daugher Shirley Phelps-Roper, total lunatic, pure hatred, and the mother of a bastard son. If anyone else isn’t screaming 24/7/365 that not screaming 24//365 that being a fag is wrong, she thinks they are going to hell. Yet she goes around fornicating.

She thinks that she’s so holy  
But she can’t even spell.  
The truth is that she’s whore-y  
With an “R” and not an “L.”  
And she’s going straight to hellllll.

So you better watch out.  
Better cover your eyes.  
When Shirley opens up it’s a horrible surprise.  
Shirley Phelps is spreading her legs.

I think it’s her older sister Margie who had the kid(Jacob) out of wedlock. Margie’s never been married, but Shirley is.
