When I heard that last night’s speech was going to bump A Charlie Brown Christmas from my evening viewing, I was livid.
I took it out by youtubing a few clips. And I found that quite a few lines were frighteningly appropos to the President.
A few actual lines I picked out:
- Linus Boehner: Charlie Brown Obama, you’re the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem.
- Charlie Brown Obama: I’ve killed it. Oh! Everything I touch gets ruined.
- Linus Olberman: See? You wouldn’t hurt an innocent shepherd, would you?
- Charlie Brown Obama: Everything I do turns into a disaster. I guess I really don’t know what Christmas is all about.
- Lucy Cheney: Are you afraid of responsibility? If you are, then you have hypengyophobia.
- Linus Teleprompter Obama: I can’t memorize these lines. This is ridiculous.
- Lucy McChrystal: I know when I’ve been insulted. I KNOW WHEN I’VE BEEN INSULTED. Charlie Brown Obama: Good grief.
- Sally: All I want is what I… I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share….[of stimulus dollars.]
And the best for last:
- Lucy Van Palin: You’ve been dumb before, Charlie Brown Obama, but this time, you really did it.
