I Have a Fun and Friendly Colbert Related Bet to make with my Fellow DUers
Edited on Wed May-03-06 05:06 PM by MarianJack
Would you like to bet that the decider in chief didn't know what the Hindenberg was?

Remember, he has contempt for both reading and history. About the only way he would have known is if he'd have seen the George C Scott movie from the mid 70's. Could you honestly imagine him watching a movie like that?

4. Could be that Gramps told him many times how lucky he was not
to have been on it, considerin all the business he was doing with the Nazis.

2. What's the decider? (in the appropriate sense of the word) do we
just ask *? * probably doesn't know what a deck chair is or that the Titanic sank either.

15. And even if he did,...
Edited on Thu May-04-06 08:13 AM by reichstag911
...he certainly doesn't remember anything that might or might not have occurred while he was in his decades-long, alcoholic, drug-addled stupor!

14. Well let me tell you mr SmartyPants..
... the odds are pretty good unless you've accepted Jeesus. Now, if you have repented in your heart, you can kill kittens and rob people blind, that won't stop you from ascending to the pearly gates. But if not, well that kind of comment will get you roasted in an eternal hellfire and perpetual damnation!
