"Black JFK" in German is "Schvartze JFK."

When Aunt Gladys used that word, she got a lecture from my father.

Schvartze? Isn't that what Mel Brooks told Bill Pullman to use in Spaceballs?

I'm pretty sure it's what they did around the campfire in Blazing Saddles

No that was the Shwartz. Schvartse is Yiddish for person of color.

It's also German for the color black.

What the Republicans don't want you to think about is how many people around the world are ECSTATIC that George W. Bush will no longer be the second most powerful man in the world.

If he's the new JFK he'd better come with a bullet-proof vest. All the man does is SMILE! He is as persuasive as a stale fart.

How sad that in 2008 we only have these pitiful candidates running for office: an old man, a half-black man, and a closeted lesbian.

I'd vote for Estelle Getty. Prop her up, give her eletroshock, and she will come around.

God, you're repulsive.

[madbrian]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 2:41pm

Joe/Taz - no offense, but Anthony Kennedy is at the top of that list right now.

Ms Flag why did such an "enormous crowd" turn out to see a stale fart?

[tazber]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 2:49pm

B/c they were German, Joe.

Still, that was a rather, shall we say, over the top, post fflag

[madbrian]

You'd think fflagg would be in a better mood, after all, he did get a raise today:
