a repost from a franken member named 'handsome pete'
we were discussing the 'october surprise' and the one i predict is the death of reagan and a 'win one for the gipper' moment.
Handsome Pete wrote: Reagan's funeral?
I don't know why, but when I read this I envisioned the "Bring out your dead" scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Bush: Bring out your dead! (Clang!) Bring out your dead! (Clang!)
Rove: Right, here you are.
Reagan: I'm not dead, Mommy.
Bush: What?
Rove: Nothing, we're ready for the next commercial....
Reagan: I don't recall being dead...
Rove: Quiet, you! (To Bush) He's ready for his funeral.
Bush: Wait a second... (Pause) Dead people can't talk...
Reagan: I don't recall dying...
Bush: And this feller seems to be contradicterating that he is dead.
Rove: Well, he will be soon.
Reagan: I want to get down, Mommy.
Rove: I'm not your mommy!( To Bush) Look, it's any day now...
Bush: I don't know. It doesn't seem right. If I say this guy is dead, and it turns out he's not, especially when he says he's not, I could get in a lot of trouble. That WMD thing is still chapping my ass..
Reagan: Could I have some jellybeans, Mommy?
Rove: Dead people can't eat jellybeans! (To Bush) Come on, it'll be great PR, and we can't use the aircraft carrier material anymore.
Bush: Couldn't we wait until he actually dies?
Rove: The election is in November, and you're behind in the polls...
Reagan: Where's Bonzo?
Bush and Rove : (look around)
Reagan: I had such a good time making that movie, putting him to bed...
(Whop!)
Rove: Stick to principle, stick to principle...
Bush: Bring out your dead! (Clang!)
