Boehner counters with threat of "Vulcan mind tricks"

[cthulu2016]

I am actually a wee bit relieved that our President is non-geek enough to be unable to keep Star Wars and Star Trek straight.

He said today that it was unrealistic to expect him to use a Jedi mind meld on Republicans.

Unrealistic indeed, Mister President... because there is no Jedi mind meld.

Vulcan mind meld. Jedi mind tricks.

Perhaps we need a Mentat chief of staff at the White House to help keep these things straight.

1. I'm not relieved; I'm alarmed

Talk about being out of touch with the culture...where was Obama born and raised, again?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

2. You only thought that PBO said Jedi mind meld.

He's just that good.

[cthulu2016]

4. "These is not the defective pop-culture references you are looking for..."

[demwing]

3. Ooh! A Jedi Vulcan?

Fuck Yeah!

[Raine1967]

14. HA!

I am totally procuring this!

[Brickbat]

5. Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.

[napkinz]

6. I caught that!

Lucky he's not competing on "King Of The Nerds"! (a new reality show for those unaware)

That would have cost him, big time!

7. Mentats use Sapho juice, as you know Sapho extract is a banned substance

Sale and distribution are felonies and although its use may be a misdemeanor, conviction for using will get you put on the Prohibited from Voting or receiving a Food Assistance Program users card.

The current administration may be bipartisan but it refuses to cavort with criminals.

8. So Be It

9. Boehner cries too much to be a Vulcan. n/t

[cthulu2016]

10. He's a Whamulan

Whamulans still look like Vulcans, but they diverged from Vulcan back in the dark ages when Nancy Grace was really popular on Vulcan.

11. but obama's coment makes more sense to little minds.

[hootinholler]

12. Oh sure

The we'd be following little dessert mice all over the place. Global Warming? Hah it's just a terraforming project, somewhere in the Sahara we will soon find a Shai' hulud.

[randome]

13. Enlist Sheldon Cooper's help!

[deutsey]

15. Jedi Mind Meld-Gate!

I'm sure Graham and McCain are getting right on this...
