MURDERER! FILANDERER! CIGAR SMOKER! THE EVIL ONE RETURNS!

Like warm pus oozing from the fetid wound that is our national pride, the Evil One slides once again across the headlines.

You know of whom I speak in hushed voice. Sayeth not the name, lest you be wrapped in remainder carpet and dumped at Fort Marcy, enshrouded in your semen-stained clothing .

He is returned, more dangerous than ever. Oh yes, far more dangerous than ever. For now he assumes the guise of a sage, wizened craftsman, a man of, shall we say, unimpeachable character.

Avert your eyes! But you cannot. You are drawn to the sickening-sweet fetor of charisma, competence, and humanity, still familiar to a nose now runny with carbon emissions. You must not click the link! But temptation compels you.

Gaze into the eyes of a creature so malignant that he is known to have inserted a foreign object into the most sacred of orifices. He defiled the American way by attempting to name his own successor, and forever violated the sanctity of the electoral process by placing his vote for a Democrat into a ballot box.

It is likely that vote was even counted.

Now, like the winged demon atop Bald Mountain, he spreads his filthy wings again, unassailable within his cleverly selected Dogpatch, the Bastion-Which-Cannot-Be-Assailed-Because-It-Involves-Black-People-And-We-Can’t-Be-Pissing-Them-Off-Just-Before-We-Pull-The-Plug-On-Affirmative-Action.

Even the New Black Panthers spit their contempt for the wraith, and yet, strangely, they tolerate his presence, as if they cannot sense the warm glow of compassion which fills the coffers of our new, great, administration.

We have no idea what scourge the Evil One might bring upon us in his capacity as a retired statesman. In the long history of America, there are only two ex-Presidents. Our first and greatest awaits legalization of medical treatment with stem cells taken from patriotic, faith-based, voluntary embryos. He will return to the throne one day. The second one is busy running the country. There’s some other guy who builds houses now, but he was Before America.

Let us remain eternally angry that the greatest era in the history of America had to come and go whilst in the custody of a monster so clearly undeserving of any credit whatsoever. Keep one eye on the Evil One. He is perched again, monkey-like, upon your back.


Ahem. Excuse me, folks. I’m just feeling a little bit nostalgic now that one of my favorite posters appears to have gone by the wayside. May this message warm his heart.

So… Are you against him or for him?

So, you’re talking about Reagan? After all, he’s the great American hero/deficit creator, right?

“…greatest era in the history of America…” but it was without his doing or influence whatsoever?

I’ve asked this before, but nobody’s answered…how do you do the “putz” smiley?

Like this.

:wally

Hit the repy button. Below the Straight Dope banner in the upper right hand corner, there is a ‘smilies’ link. Click on it, a page with all the smilies will appear. Copy the putz smily ad past it. Or type a colon and the name walley with no space in between.

spooje should learn to preview. Paste it, not past it. And the wally has no e in it. I’m such a :wally

Oh, Sofat King? “Engorged Tush” is a traitor and a thief who destroyed America’s democracy. :smiley:

No fun to receive, is it? Fume in silence next time.

Reagan will be dead LONG before there is any stem-cell treatment that can help him. But of course, as a good conservative, if he was of sound mind he would refuse to gain any benefit anyway from cells pulled one by one from a screaming, suffering, praying-to-baby-jesus-for-mercy embryo.
Oh, and nothing to say about Ford? Oh, yeah, he was “before America” too.

America’s history is only as long as my history? That means my suspiscions are correct, and i am the only real person, living in an artifical world created for my benefit by an alien race known only as the “Qeumtli.” Now that i know the truth, i can manipulate the world around me create a race of albino crocodile-men that i will use to conquor Qatar! I’d thank you, Sofa King, for opening my eyes, but since you are not real, it does not matter…

Well, nuts. We can pack it all up now and go home.

Look! There he is again!

Someone get me a cross, dammit!

Ummm, Sofa, I may be reading too much into this . . . But you don’t seem to care too much for former president Clinton, do you?

Is this just a visceral “ewww” feeling, like I have about Billy Crystal, or is there something specific you dislike about the gentleman? His philandering? His cigar-smoking? His, ummm . . . “Murdering?” His policies on gays in the military or his foreign policies or somethin’?

Hmmmmm?

Okay, I might as well come clean, before I confuse anyone further.

Yesterday, I saw all the press on President Clinton’s new office opening, and I couldn’t help thinking about a certain someone who continued to post virulent anti-Clinton threads on the SDMB long after the lame duck ceased to quack. There is no need to name that person–you’ve either seen his priceless work or you haven’t. This latest event was a perfect opportunity for that person to strike again, indeed I expected it, and his silence leaves me feeling a little sad.

I suppose I shouldn’t feel that way, because it might mean the fellow got hit upside the head with a clue stick.

This thread is a tribute to that fine person, who made me laugh, made me cry, and made me wonder if wearing Depends would show through my slacks. Let the record show that I have selflessly :wally -ified myself in that poster’s stead, so that he will not be forgotten.

I suspected as much SK, the post were out of character from what I expect of you. Actually, I thought you were doing an extended parody of National Review columnists, or Fox News commentators. (Of course now a days, to parody Fox News right, you need a psychic on the air pretending to be a forensics expert… “I see a woman’s body…in a wooded marshy area.”)
