LOL!!! What was that from again? Horse Feathers? It's been awhile, but I do remember that part.
Strangely enough, although it was clearly intended as an insult, I'm not sure being compared to Groucho Marx is all that bad. He was always poking fun at, screwing around with, and laughing at the elite culture, because he saw how rediculous they were. His absurdity was almost always a way of mocking them, a way of laughing at the fact that they don't seem to get what he's doing, when it's obvious to everybody else.
In a strange way, you could say that, that is exactly what Bush is doing with the media and elite culture around the US all the time.
If they are committed to the cigar, they might as well go ahead and pick a president who is associated with the cigar.
None immediately come to mind though. There has to be some recent president that had an incident involving a cigar....
The Marx Brothers didn't really become the Marx Brothers we all know today until a fateful show in Texas.
They were playing a theater and the crowd ran outside during the show to watch a runaway mule causing havoc in the streets.
Struggling to keep an audience and also ticked at the crowd, Groucho started shouting "Nacogdoches is full of roaches!" and I think the show from the stage became more chaotic.
