This makes for lousy visuals. His console should roll right to center screen while manacles snap shut over his wrists and ankles. The methos of execution – well, that’s worth a whole 'nother thread.
To add to the suspense, the execution machine should be some sort of Rube Goldberg device from the death chamber of an Evil Overlord who has never read the Rules, i.e., escape should be challenging but possible for a sufficiently resourceful contestant.

What makes it especially silly is that the quote had nothing to do with taxes. It didn’t even originate with Kennedy. It was a paraphrase of a George Bernard Shaw quote. Kennedy did say it, but not in the context of taxes.
The speech where he said it was in Ireland and had nothing to do with US taxes.
[/QUOTE]I’d always heard it from Ted, in his eulogy for Robert, and never associated it with JFK at all.
Seriously people? Not one mentioned of The Running Man?
Heh, The Lady or the Tiger.
Yeah, if the bullet had left him severely brain-damaged instead of dead.
(Damn you, Ted Cruz! See the level of tastelessness you made me sink to!)
How about this one:

I wish I could’ve said I’m transgender in high school to shower with girls

So if able this Baptist minister would have lied about himself to violate the privacy of women.
Says a lot about how Republicans think.
In the race to find the, uh, bottom, Huckster seems to have groped his way right onto it.
All he has to do is pardon them so that they will be released and shot by the police on the grounds that the police do not feel safe about them.
Well, framed that way, I think the media could have a lot of fun with statements like Mitt Romney’s a while back. How did that go?
“I believe global climate change is real, I believe it is caused by humans, and I don’t think it’s the government’s place to do anything about it”? Something like that?
Rush is mocking someone for exercising. Okay then.
I await his next screed where he mocks Hillary Clinton for not being addicted to prescription drugs.
Can’t mock her for dodging the draft, anyway.
Sure he can
“Being born a woman, and all, with woman parts. . . which she knew would keep her out of Vietnam. . .”
Only if it’s based closely on the (amazingly subversive) book and not . . . that . . . that stupid screen adaptation, with Schwarzenegger, yet, that was rumored of but got mired in Production Hell and never was actually made or released, never, you hear me?! sob Never!
Of course it was released.
If it wasn’t, then little Erland van Lidthe de Jeude never would have gotten a chance to sing on screen!
(That’s not him singing in Stir Crazy – it’s dubbed, and not even remotely like his voice. I know – I’ve heard it often enough.)
Huh. I never knew until know that an anal cyst was a “woman part”.
Republican women only.
I was actually talking about him harrassing Hillary for evading the draft.
It was funny in my head. All the voices laughed.
