Marcie always called him “Charles.”
To paraphrase Hotspur, “Why, so can I and so can any man. But do they talk back?”
You got a bit of whoosh on ya, Red.
IIRC he’s not American, and may never have seen Peanuts. If I’m right Red, it refers to a running joke in an old comic strip where a girl named Lucy always jerks a football away from Charlie Brown before he kicks it, leaving him flat on his back.

I’d start a thread about this in Cafe Society, but people would think I was pushing the video (which, frankly, is chopped up into tiny useless bits, which is a shame, because the guy sounds like a nutter.)
Anyhow, what’s the music in that Youtube video? It’s good.

St. James.
Original OMEN-fan here.
New Slang by The Shins. You can find it on the Garden State Soundtrack, which IMHO, is a pretty kickass soundtrack. </off-topic>
Yeah, but when they talk about it George W thinks it’s a REAL football.
Thanks. Yeah I was indeed whooshed. Seen the Peanuts strip…however never was a regular reader of same.
The 2006 report of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named Doolittle on of the 20 most corrupt members of Congress. See here.
“In case of Rapture, this car will be driven by a man yelling and screaming with joy that all those morons have left the planet.”
You think that’s too long for a bumper sticker? I do drive a truck.
Isn’t it obvious what’s going on? The Republicans have given up any hope of swaying the center back to their side, so they have changed strategies. Their only hope of victory lies in (a) going as negative as possible to keep the undecideds out of the polling booths (studies have shown that the nastier the race, the more the undecideds say “screw it” and stay home), and (b) motivating every last hardcore member of the loony evangelical base to get out and vote. At this point, they have nothing left to lose, so they’re pulling out the stops.
As I said in another thread, the hope of the Democratic opposition, by contrast, lies in (a) sufficient intelligence and perspicacity on the part of the average centrist voter to recognize what the Republicans are doing, and (b) a well-organized response by the Democrats to capitalize on the Republicans’ obvious desperation.
Which means, of course, that the Democratic opposition is doomed.
The full debate is on the left, unchopped. I just wanted to highlight the
-Iraq is good because it will bring the end of the world
-the Foley scandal proves we cannot allow gay people around children
comments. It’s strange and horrifying that this man is in office, and that comments like these apparently help rather than hurt him.
How about, “If the Rapture’s today, we’ll be rid of the Christians!” And add a big 
at the end. That should get the message across.
I wouldn’t say doomed but I think optimism over the opinion poll numbers should be quite restrained. I don’t know whether or not the final numbers are weighted by an estimate of who among the respondents will actually go out and vote but they should be.
Questions like, “Did you vote last election?”, “How many times have you voted in off-year electrions in the last ten years” would allow weighting of the raw results according to who among the poll respondents would vote and for whom.
A Modest Proposal (OneCentStamp edition): Let’s start putting some cobalt in the spine of each copy of the *Left Behind *books. Not enough to kill anyone, just enough to sterilize upon repeated exposure (say, two books?). Oh, and round up some lead aprons for the poor kid at Barnes & Noble who has to stockthem on the shelf. 
:smack:
D’oh!
And again: :smack:
Oh well, at least someody got the reference; I just made it a little more challenging. Yeah, that’s the ticket, I was trying to heighten the fun by making it more challenging, yeah.
I often wonder if “vote for me: I will bring about the end of the world” would be a winning campaign slogan in some places…
I wonder if he’s close friends with James Watt?
Note: Doolittle thinks gay people shouldn’t allowed near children…
but he does apparently think that straight sex offenders deserve a second chance so they can go molest again:
