Ten things FDR would say if he were alive today

[Arkham House]

1. I guess none of my successors ever found those "special" pictures of J Edgar Hoover...
2. ...the ACTOR?????
3. Silly me--I thought the only thing we had to fear was fear itself--but Prescott Bush's son AND grandson? Holy Shit!
4. Where the hell was Jonas Salk when I needed him?
5. Guess they still haven't figured Pearl Harbor out yet...
6. That skinny, degenerate son of Joe Kennedy? HIM? Guess nobody ever discovered HIS "special pictures", either...
7. Why Quayle?
8. Cripes--look at the Republicans now, at the Bush administration...fuck it, I should have just declared martial law in 1933 when I had the chance...
9. ...there's a statue of Eleanor, too?
10. Watch the last episode of "24" next year--I show up at the very end..there's a REAL surprise ending...

2. "Father Coughlin may have been celibate...

...but he has spawned an evil legion."

(And DUers could name a few of them, too.)

"Fala would greatly appreciate that Barney and young Miss Beazley live at the White House now, though the same cannot be said of their feckless master."

"Let me see if I understand this correctly. The wealthy resent having their heirs pay taxes on estates worth millions and even billions, and yet they begrudge a struggling family public assistance, and in this the Republican Party supports the view of the wealthy. Has the country gone MAD?"

5. I know you wanted a lounge type response

but my mind could just think of what a different world we'd be in.
He'd be for stem research. He wouldn't be pejorative toward NY and New England like the current thugs in power.
We'd have allies. I'd have to someone I'd admire to listen to.
Oh well, and that's just off the top of my head.

[Arkham House]

13. and he wouldn't be intimidated...

...by the media, the Repubs, anyone... He'd put the Right on their heels, and somehow take the initiative from them...excellent post...

6. I should have made my family dictators for life....

Why did you fools elect not one, but two, people named George Bush???

[otherlander]

7. 1. You're abandoning the working class!

2. You're destroying the wilderness!

3. You're ruining the economy!

4. You're imprisoning people who might not be guilty of anything for years because of suspicions based largely upon racial profiling in a kneejerk reaction to an unprecedented attack on American soil?!?!? Oh....wait. :hide: neeeeevermind... :yoiks:
