I was thinking about the irony of that statement also too. Also misread the line as "something that will end radical Islam more than the boob."

Are they going to throw socks, too? We don't want a blister intifada.

You ought to watch the movie. It is really well done, in addition to being an unending source of memes. And the young Robin Wright is just pretty.

Can we throw the boots at W, and the ones that miss go into Syria?

I'm going to assume this will be paid for by the usual method - tax cuts on the wealthy.

...wtf with wingnuts suddenly trying to cop Princess Bride? So weird to try and claim an amusing fairy tale with obvious and even blatant liberal pie in the sky bias.Oy.

He is an odd one. He seems almost sane, and then he'll talk about individual liberties being all important, but we have to outlaw abortion because we can't let PP sell baby brainz.

"Not only does he want boots on the ground (conveniently failing to say anything about the men and women who’ll be sent home in body bags, with or without their boots)"This point cannot be made too often. Boots on the ground completely erases the image of the men and women who fill those boots. People with families, people with dreams. To callously throw them at every situation in the world is to forget they are people first and foremost. They can't fight for 20 or 30 years.

"I miss George W. Bush. I wish he were president right now. We wouldn’t be in this mess.""Then I would stay. I would hold the hands of those who are willing to live in peace with us. I would build small school houses in remote regions of the world to give a young woman a voice about her children, something that will end radical Islam more than the bomb."Didn't Bush do that? I seem to remember suitcases of $100 bills. Also too hospitals. How's Iraq doing so far?
