Bob Hope has the best all-time quote on zombies,  
IMHO:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWpU8sX10\_4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWpU8sX10_4)

\*Lawrence: “You live here?”  
Montgomery: “Yes.”

Lawrence: “Then maybe you know what a zombie is”

Montgomery: “When a person dies and is buried, its seems there are certain voodoo priests who … who have the power to bring him back to life.”

Carter: “How horrible!”

Montgomery: “It’s worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.”

Lawrence: “You mean like Democrats?”\*

Talk about “blind with dead eyes”, it’s you people who believe Trump when he tells you that a video recording of HIM and HIS voice is “fake news”.

Democrats are Global Thinkers who live in and understand the year 2018. It’s Republicans who think it’s 1952.

Am I right in recalling that Hope made pretty much the same crack about Republicans in _The Cat and the Canary_ (1940)?
