LOL! The only movie where every line is funny.

(well, Liza had a couple lame ones, but nobody else did)

"I do so love a chicken cooked at home."

I swear, if you hum the theme song, my entire family can act it out.

BTW, don't you hate Perry's wife? :-)

[Lokibob]

Ya know, I love to read how these other people live, even the opposition.

I'd bet President Bush's body man has similar stories, like his quirks and traits. Unfortunately, he is probably sworn to silence, and for good reason.

It is one of the reasons that I like to watch the "West Wing". Hate the politics, hate the left wing agenda, but love the inside stories of the power and how it is used.

Nixon's aide or chief of staff (his name escapes me right now) wrote a book about the running of the executive branch. It was fascinating.

[abner]

I can't believe how many people here on FR missed this:

MARVIN SMOKES!!!!!!!!!

Sheesh... FReepers are getting slow on the draw....

[dead]

He's taking the knife from the cheese! Do you think he wants a piece of cheese?

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Arthur. My wife and I saw this when it came out. I laughed out loud many times during the film.

[hang 'em]

Did the author purposely leave out the fact that Lord Kerry's butler also changes the bandages on his war wounds daily?

[Tijeras_Slim]

A few months ago, he inherited the candidate's 1984 Dodge 600 ES convertible

Inherited? This confirms my suspiscions that Kerry is deceased.

[Tacis]

I'd like to see a roster of ALL the household staff in each of the Kerry/Heinz palaces! There would be an awful lot of , "Oh, those aren't my upstairs maids, they work for my wife."

I'd also like to know how many are illegal aliens. The other dems spent so much effort asking questions about Bush, they never bothered to ask the same questions about Golden Boy. Now, they are stuck with him!

[EllaMinnow]

I'm not an X-er, but that sounds like my eating (and smoking) habits.

[Gator113]

Well, now that I know about the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...I feel so at one with Him!!! This bonding could never have occurred, had I not read this beautiful piece.

I'll be back after a bit, but right now, I have to go find a place to puke!

[Howlin]

I bet you like this one, too.

[areafiftyone]

LOL

[Notwithstanding]

Funny - the non-biased Senate dining room waiters said that Kerry hardly tips 10% and often forget to sign for his tab (meaning zero tip is paid to the waiters).

And the same guy tips the maid $20? Sure.

[surrey]

Howie Carr has checked out the registrations on the Heinz-Kerry cars and claims that the car is still registered to JF'n. This is the car with the PH insignia. Ter-ay-za has a car with the plate Mo-zam-bique(actually a shortened version)

[mass55th]

"Kerry and his butler pack peanut butter on trips together."

And just so John Boy doesn't get home sick, Mr., er Ms. Nicholson dresses the part:

[gubamyster]

That's lovely.

Mr. Nicholson, who earned a geography degree at the University of Western Ontario and once aspired to be on the Weather Channel, seems a different breed.

Maybe the Weather Channel didn't like his choice of dress.

[Phantom Lord]

Mr. Nicholson, who earned a geography degree at the University of Western Ontario

Is Mr. Nicholson a Canadian?

[Izzy Dunne]

one of Mr. Gore's aides is engaged to his daughter.

I thought that was illegal.
