This has been mentioned a bit on here, in reference to President Bush.
Is it a book?
A movie?
What does it mean?
I haven’t heard of a book or monie, but the idea (incorrect, IMNSHO) is that Bush did nothing worthy to ascend to the top, and has gotten there largely by happy accident and chance, or even rose in spite of himself.
Doesn’t anyone read Doc Savage anymore ?
Of course our prez resembles the Savage Doctor more than he does the upwardly falling man.
Course, they refered to his daddy as The Man Who Threw Up.
Tough crowd!
Squink,
I used to be quite a Doc Savage fan, but I never read that one. I quit reading them when they started making him too fallible. I liked my heros way larger than life.
Plus, I was always disappointed that I would never get to meet Monk (or Pat, either – rowr!)
RR
hrm…
daddy threw up?
daughter bottoms up?
I recall reading one of my favorite hippie books where Paul Krassner recalls the Chicago demonstrations.
he had taken so much drug(honey) that he grabbed on to the grass to avoid falling up.
Hee hee
“I never read that one”
It’s probably hard to find these days. Grandma kept a big stack of pulp from that era in the woodshed.
