It's Curtains For You, Rocky

Curtains, see?

While poking around on this marvelous electronic bitchfest that is the Internet, I found the following site: M. Kane Jeeves.

He's pretty good at turning a phrase. In particular, in this post, while discussing a recently-viewed campaign stump speech, he compared George Bush to a hybrid of Elmer Gantry and Edward G. Robinson:

“We’ll continue rallying the armies of compassion all across the country. See, I understand government can hand out money, but it cannot put hope in a person’s heart or sense of purpose in a person’s life. That’s done when people have heard a call and are willing to put an arm around somebody who is lonely or hurts or is addicted and says, I love you, brother or sister; what can I do to help you?…America will change one soul at a time.”

Note the nuances, there, bouncing between the word “soul” and the use of the word “see” to show that he knows stuff. Sort of a combination of Elmer Gantry and Edward G. Robinson as “Little Caesar.” (“See, you mugs, I know about hope. Nyeah, nyeah, nyeah.”)

That's just too damn funny.
