War's over, man. Pelosi dropped the big one.
From the Desk of YM's Montgomery County Correspondent:
This book review of the real Animal House got me wondering about its best movie line. I grabbed a few of them at IMDB.
GW Bush: Was it over when Saddam bombed the Twin Towers?
Cheney: Saddam?
Rummy: Forget it, he's rolling
Bush: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard] the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns]
Bush: What the fuck happened to the Republicans I used to know? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you George, we might get in trouble with the Democrats." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Saddam, he's a dead man! Iran President, dead! Clinton...
Cheney: Dead! George's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons and not nearly enough troops that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bush: We're just the guys to do it.
Rummy: Let's do it.
All: LET'S DO IT!

Flounder: You guys playing cards?However, I think Bluto's "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" speech is the most famous - and not just because they play it in the last 5 minutes of Washington Capitals hockey games. It also has a timeless political message. Picture if you will GW Bush and crew sitting in the Oval Office on or about Jan 22 2002, the 1st State of the Union speech after 9/11...
Bluto: Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'.
Hoover: I just checked with the guys at the Jewish house and they said that every one of our answers on the Psych test was wrong.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you.
