5. thx ;)

there's also a Hitler joke in there somewhere, but I think it's obvious enough already

[The Wizard]

28. Hitler, now there was a painter

He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon----------------------two coats.

44. One of my favorite lines from one of the funniest films ever made...

Last edited Sun Feb 16, 2014, 04:07 AM - Edit history (1)

.The Producers (1968)...Mel Brooks' first film

That line was uttered after a reference to Winston Churchill being a painter.

Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder & Kenneth Mars, as "Franz Liebkin" were on the roof of Liebkin's apartment building....He had pigeons up there....He was the author of
"The worst play ever written"..."Springtime For Hitler"

[The Wizard]

45. Funniest movie ever

Brooks believes that the best remedy to a tyrant is ridicule. I agree. And you're hearing this straight from the horse. Hitler was better looking than Churchill.............. and he could dance the pants off of Churchill. The dance the pants reference was about the little jig Hitler did after getting France to surrender in 1940 in the same railroad car in which Germany surrendered to France ending WW I. Mel Brooks was also at the Battle of the Bulge.

[red dog 1]

49. I think it is the funniest movie ever...

..Mel Brooks introduced his characters brilliantly, one by one, each new character being even funnier than the last.

First we meet Zero Mostel as Max Bialystock, the producer, and Gene Wilder as the accountant Leo Bloom, sent over to check the producer's books.
("Nobody ever called me Leo before....even in kindergarten they called me Bloom&quot

Then we meet Kenneth Mars' character, Franz Liebkin, the author of the worst play ever written, who's up on the roof with his pigeons.


Later, we meet the play's director, "Roger De Bris" (Christopher Hewett) who is behind a partition when they first come into the room, after a hilarious elevator ride with the director's assistant,"Carmen Ghia&quot

Max Bialystock:.."Roger, did you have a chance to read 'Springtime For Hitler?"

Roger De Bris:.(emerges from behind the partition wearing a dress)
"Remarkable!.Remarkable! A stunning piece of work"

Leo Bloom.(under his breath) "Max..Max, he's wearing a dress!"

Max Bialystock:."No kidding"

Roger De Bris.."Did you know, I never knew that the Third Reich meant Germany.
.I mean it's just drenched with historical goodies like that.
...Oh dear, you're staring at my dress,. I should explain, .we are going to the
choreographer's ball tonight and there's a prize for the best costume."

Carmen Ghia:.."And we always win"

Roger De Bris.."I don't know about tonight, I'm supposed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia,
but I think I look more like Tugboat Annie..What do you think,Mr Bloom?"

Leo Bloom:..."Where do you keep your wallet?"



Later on we meet Dick Shawn's character, "Lorenzo St. DuBois" (LSD)
who is even funnier than Roger De Bris.



IMO, Mel Brooks is a true genius; and, his masterpiece is "The Producers"

("Blazing Saddles" & "Young Frankenstein" are both pretty funny too)

[The Wizard]

50. Joy of joys, dream of dreams

I'm not the only one who has it memorized. They're going to clear Der Fuhrer's name.

[MarianJack]

51. Don't forget one of MY fvorite lines (of MANY) from that movie,...

..."We find the defendants INCREDIBLY guilty"!

PEACE!

[red dog 1]

53. Another great line from "The Producers" is..

Leo Bloom: "But Max. actors are people too"
Max Bialystock:.."They are?.Have you ever eaten with one?"

[MarianJack]

54. How about...

..."Oola, go to work"!

Of course, the line may not be the only reason that I liked that scene.

I met Lee Meredith in the late 80s and she was a very lovely and engaging lady. She shared that she had SOOO much fun making that movie!

PEACE!

[The Wizard]

57. The reverse side of the DVD

is the making of The Producers, very enlightening interviews with the actors.

[Jamaal510]

6. Who is this George W. Bush you speak of? nt

[Coyotl]

7. Coming Soon: Christie praises Nixon's integrity.

"He was much less a crook than people realize."

[glowing]

10. LOL. Too funny.

[Cha]

23. Really.. and

Christie has a bridge to sell us.

[Martin Eden]

8. Bush was grossly under-indicted

And Christie hopes he is too.

[Coyotl]

13. DUzy.

[btrflykng9]

46. +1

[WinkyDink]

9. "I think he was gross." FIXED.

[ctsnowman]

11. This

from the "moderate" Christie we all here so much about.

[glowing]

12. Bush "won" his 2 elections? That's news to me.

The first one, he was selected by the Supreme Court (9/11, 2 expensive wars, Medicare Part D unpaid for, 2 tax break/ gifts for his wealthy friends, CAFTA, and mismanagement partisan politics the entire first 4 yrs). AND then the next election, the Pukes swift boated a war hero, while lifting up an AWOL drunk ass hat, and using Republican friendly, computer generated, election results throughout the country and essentially stealing the election in OH for Bush in the middle of the night, led to Katrina, more lies and scandals (especially regarding the Justice Dept and the way in which they used it as a partisan attack bully (Chris Christie wasn't on their "no good, replace" list because he was "Bush Friendly". On top of that he and Dick and other top admin are war criminals; authorizing torture, pre-eminantly attacking a country and screwing it to hell, no-bid contractors working havoc and mayhem and costing more money than enlisted military personnel, and GITMO still kicking to this day with people in custody that have never been charged with any type of crime and quite a few that are innocent and were rounded up/ caught/ turned in for money, men and children who have done nothing and are sitting in perpetuity with no end in site (it's been so long since they created this jail on one end of the Cuban Island - some of these people have 10+ years in detention in - some of these children are now men).

Anyway, perhaps his bringing up George W Bush in conversation is to remind us all of how badly 2000 - present has hurt the American people and the world, has allowed corporations and Big Banks to become bigger, more powerful, and more greedy than ever before, and the world seemingly beholden to the crooks because they could feasibly take out a small country, if not destroy this one. Maybe its a perspective agenda item, "hey, look over here, George W Bush was our last President, and in comparison I'm not nearly as corrupt of devoid of humanity as President Bush was". OR he's figured out that his political aspirations for running and winning the Presidency in 2016 is over. So, if he can't have it, no other Republican politician setting up a running bid will be able to lose the Republican/ George W Bush disastrous Presidency. AND this should teach the rest of the Republican Governors and the Republican party for abandoning him in his scandals and talking shit about him. Also, he's still the head of the Republican Gov Assoc. He can really F*#k those running in state races this year, some major problems. Anything from handing out money to showing up in their states for a campaign rally and allowing the other state's to that the Republican running for Gov is associated with Christie and may be just as corrupt.

This man is a bully! And those who aren't standing up for him and beside him will cause him to lash out and seek retribution against other Republicans. I wouldn't doubt when all is said and done that this man wouldn't sing like a canary over all the corruption, inside Republican politics BS, and total frauds that the ReThuglican's really are and who they really work for. This man will be looking for blood as he's forced down and out. He will also be taking any of the NJ Dems who hand held him thru the past election. This man is a dangerous sycophant and will destroy those around him and throw them under a bus. Just look at what he did publicly to his top advisors on national TV for almost 2 hrs. "I don't know", "they went rogue", "I fired them", "they are liars", and laughably, "I'm not a bully" meme he's trying to spread... When we have all seen his repugnant responses and full on mean spirited, full-throated take downs of constituents he is supposed to work for.

Don't forget, he took down a few Republicans with his "rise/ ride" to the top. Those sting operations took down members of his own party. AND he also went full on press court and attack mode against John Boehner and the Tea Party wing of their party over not getting Sandy money aid to rebuild after the flooding and destruction in the state. He hugged close to Obama in 2012, blasted his party for "free money" and to have that "free money" at the state's disposal, rather than having Federal oversight since DC is so much more corrupt. He told Romney he couldn't campaign in NJ for donations and then went to the RNC convention in Tampa, FL and spoke about himself to set up a national image with the American public who was seeing him for the first time in some cases. He basically stood there and said Mitt sucks, Pres Obama is going to win, and in 2016, elect me because I'm able to get shit done and work across the aisle. AND then in his Gov campaign, he made sure to set the Senatorial election for Cory Booker on a different date prior to the state election where he appeared on the ballot because he didn't want a lot of Dem voters (read poor black folks and other minorities) coming out and voting his numbers down. He pushed for Dem support from local municipalities and used fear, retribution, bullying etc tactics to make sure he was getting his endorsements and pushing his winning election numbers. He knows most of America is tired of the BS and want to have things get done. His portrayal and media image was and has been the most important thing for him because he wants into the White House. He will still try to get there.

36. You hit the nail on the head!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. Christie admires Bush because he got away with it.

[tofuandbeer]

[whatchamacallit]

15. That pic still jerks a laugh out of me

What a clown.

[4_TN_TITANS]

37. Even better were the photoshops

that appeared on DU when that pic came out. I laughed til I cried. If there is one thing I am 'fall on my knees in awe' of Bush for, it was the nonstop comedic cornucopia he unwittingly provided.

[btrflykng9]

47. That's what I really miss, the George W-isms

I still every now and then pull up the Youtube footage of the guy throwing the shoe at him at the press conference. Makes me smile every time.

[btrflykng9]

48. Too bad the comedy relief didn't make up for the political and economic cluster fugazi

he caused while in office.

[raven mad]

16. Where's his Dick?

Cheney?

[Hissyspit]

17. Sick.

Defending a war criminal.

Fuck Chris Christie.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

18. As Sherlock Holmes would say, Bush was the Napoleon of ineptitude

and of crime.

[colsohlibgal]

19. He Only Got In By Malfeasance And A Coup

Without his brother and Ms Harris - and Al Gore falling all over himself to give up ASAP election night - this dry drunk costly human disaster would never have been president.

[czarjak]

20. Said the G.W. appointee.

Owes his political career to none other. Thanks for that unsolicited testimonial. The Stupid Party.

[trusty elf]

21. Dubya was grossly misunderappreciated by everyone else as well.

[IMG][/IMG]

[LuckyLib]

40. I always fantasized that the shoe smacked him right on the head. Followed by his "Heh, heh. Didn't

get me!"

[Thor_MN]

24. So.... "I'm better than Dumbass?"

There's a winning strategy...

[tofuandbeer]

25. That one made me smile. Thanks! :D

[Marthe48]

29. How long am I going to have to look at this jerk?

I'd rather look at Democrats myself.

[Blue Owl]

30. Hubba Dubya, looks like someone's got a little crush!

[MADem]

31. If I stand up next to the chimp, I'll look "less hated" by comparison!!!! nt

[Overseas]

32. Admires the way he let the economy crash and bailed out all his buds.

[liberalmuse]

33. I admit it. I grossly underappreciated him.

If I'd only known how much and how long the damage he did while in office would devastate millions of lives, I think I would have appreciated how much damage 1 person in the wrong place is capable of. And I do not mean this in a good way.

[Hulk]

34. How I miss the dunce in the White House...

How could we do this to the nation. We FORCED the teabaggers out from their closets, and out from under their beds. It's ALL our fault. We went from this total dunce of fool to someone with a valedictorian degree from a prestigious university that has the gift of tongue and the brain brighter than a 20 watt light bulb. It was TOO MUCH for this country to handle. We forced the teabaggers out of the dark crevices of the nation, and woke them up to a minority in their ALL WHITE White House. It's OUR FAULT, I tell ya. How could we have done that, and expected the nation to gather behind the ideas of leader who actually had a brain.

We should have elected mitt the Draft-dodging-coward to represent us around the world. He would have been so much better at relating to the Olympics and the persecuted 1%. He could have kept fox-nonsense in the gutter of ratings where it belongs, but NOooooo, we had to elect a damned "Obama-care" liberal; someone who actually wanted to do something for the nation to build on.

Well...we get what we deserved. We should have elected mr. 9-9-9, or michelle bat-shit-crazy eyeballs, or man-on-dog-sleep-with-the-still-born-fetus guy. Then, we'd be able to just shake our heads and wonder how we had sunk so low and what it would have been like to have "a black family in our White House" instead of seeing it in front of our eyes.

Shame on YOU all!!!!

[Turbineguy]

35. A facebook friend posted a picture

of a Wounded Warrier looking for help so he can visit and meet GWB. I was tempted to answer with "What, to kick his ass?"

[butterfly77]

38. No matter...

how they try to rewrite history me and mine will never forget, that he is a POS!

[secondvariety]

39. I'll say this bout Bush,

the man cold duck a flying shoe with the best of them.

[quakerboy]

41. Well, Bush is scientifically proven to be a Moderate Republican

according to at least one prolific poster on this website, so it makes sense that Christie would appreciate him.

It also makes sense on a "if Bush can get elected, then I can too, even with my issues" level, for Christie.

[polynomial]

42. All this corruption

All this corruption was always there the mainstream media as key players took America on a trip with Bush and now Christie.

Deception, irresponsible to the common wealth and horrible ways the Supreme Court also players in what can be considered the most criminal displaced biased convergence of prejudice profiteering war mongering making way for Bush to sack the treasury.

These guys knew what they were doing, in all the intentions to profiteer. Making money, by the “ex nihilo” the principle to generate something from nothing. That where money is considered free speech, then why not make that which can be considered a living wage for all citizens.

For all time in real honest recorded history this period will go down as the beginning of the most disgraceful period achieved by what is called the most powerful nation in history.

Many will reflect on the political cruelty devised to get elected then with cavalier arrogance the Republican Party used and abused the elected positions to shut down the government to bargain to profiteer at the expense of the citizen is treason to the Constitution totally neglected avoided and dismissed by the media by newspapers all biased for the one percent.

This is no conspiracy it is wide open slap in your face, do what your told, be a good citizen, work harder, pay more taxes, listen to the lies and believe them. Sweat till you retire and don’t expect it. Scratch and scrape even if you are a veteran, stop complaining, watch while the political banksters and former president Bush with his administration get away with war crime profiteering, and what I learned is not to vote for that candidate that tells you “ yes we can “.

[SmittynMo]

43. Bush will go down in history as our worst president

Gee, that says a lot about Christie.

[blkmusclmachine]

52. GWB: "Who farted in here?!"

Not dumb. Just evil.

[DesertRat]

55. I love this photo!

[Berlum]

56. I, for one, always appreciated George AWOL Bush

He made things so perfectly clear about Republicon "values"

[nyquil_man]

58. Nonsense. He had his chance.

In fact, he had much more of a chance than he deserved.

And he screwed the pooch.

[Blue Owl]
