I have "The African Queen" on DVD and find the analogy mentioned apt.

Thanks, Congressman BillyBob.
Festering wounds need to be cleansed and thoroughly aired so they can heal. Time to Pop North Korea and lance the boil, Aye Aye , Sir!
PS .. If Hillary gets the nod in 2008, I look forward to a CBB 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' offering as well, assuming Obama is the Veep on the dem ticket. ;-)

Lessons of the African Queen:
1) Never pick up a New England snob and offer her a boat ride
2) Unless shes a mechanic or has a boat to replace yours, any idea she has about using your boat as a makeshift torpedo should be disreguarded.
3) Always carry extra salt to get rid of leeches.

About 35 yrs ago, I worked in a theater that showed "The African Queen" for several months. I saw/heard the movie >200x. The script is, of course, memorized. Quotes from AQ are useful in all sorts of situations, e.g.,
[Rose] "Who could imagine that an experience of the flesh could be so stimulating?"
BTW, it's Sayer and Königin Luise.

I watched
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939) for the first time over the weekend. I must say, not much has changed in 60 years (except for the line about getting 96 men to agree with you). Certainly, the press hasn't changed much from that movie.

I love the movie, CB. Two of the best actors from the Golden Age.
BTW, I was in your neck of the woods recently. Had some great BBQ in a little place in Dillsboro. Yum!

I'm looking forward to being able to call you "The Honorable Bob."

"So was General Douglas MacArthur, who was removed by President Truman as Commander in the Korean War, because MacArthur thought in terms of “winning the war.” "
No he was removed because aside from his insubordination and disregard of direct orders, he made several tactical blunders which cost many thousands of American and allied lives.
