8. I think it's from a Monty Python movie
Edited on Wed Sep-03-03 10:27 PM by Maple
Maybe 'Life of Brian?'

On edit: I have been informed it's from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail.

Er...like Bleedingheart just said. :D

16. I've usually seen him called the "French Taunter" ...
ARTHUR:
Well, u-- um, can we come up and have a look?
FRENCH GUARD:
Of course not! You are English types-a!
ARTHUR:
Well, what are you, then?
FRENCH GUARD:
I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?!
GALAHAD:
What are you doing in England?
FRENCH GUARD:
Mind your own business!
ARTHUR:
If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force!
FRENCH GUARD:
You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King, you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!
GALAHAD:
What a strange person.
ARTHUR:
Now look here, my good man--
FRENCH GUARD:
I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

GALAHAD:
Is there someone else up there we could talk to?
FRENCH GUARD:
No. Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-a!

4. I know we are going to need the UN
but I think the UN deserves a public apology from Bush.

We bullied our way into a war without the aid of our allies and now that we are caught in a corner we are looking to them for help.

14. Exactly!
Shrub has some nerve going to the U.N. now, demanding its help to clean up the mess HE created, against the advice and wishes of the U.N. and just about every nation on earth. Watch him and KKKarl spin it to blame the U.N. for the state of affairs in Iraq, and the sheeple will buy it!

13. Demand the US turn over war criminals Bush and Rumsfeld first for crimes
against humanity. Then give the US all the help it needs.

15. More likely . . .
Is that they'll get a little reminder of just how much of the UN's funding comes from the US.

24. Koffi to George...
Hmmm, perhaps we can make a deal about helping you out with the Iraq situation. Of course there will have to be some compromises, you understand? I have a list right here, just a coincidence you understand? First of all, you WILL accept, ratify, and grant full recognition to the ICC. Secondly, you WILL publicly apologize to everybody you so happily pissed off at the UN. Third, you WILL fire Rumsfeld, Boucher, Wolfowitless, Rice, Cheney, and Bolton. You WILL then admit that the invasion of Iraq was a ruse to justify an oil grab, and you will admit publicly that Karl Rove designed the pr stunt landing on the Lincoln, simply to fool the sheep into thinking of you as a real 'man'. There will be other compromises in the future (like maybe PAYING YOUR BACK DUES?????!!!), but for now, that is all. Now go back to the White House and rearrange your strings, they're all tangled up from too many handlers! :hippie:
