Animal House invades Iraq
One of the many memorable scenes in the movie Animal House comes when Flounder cries after seeing that his brother's car has been demolished by his frat brothers who borrowed it for a road trip. Otter tries to put his loss in perspective by telling him, "Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You f**ked up -- you trusted us!"
I wonder how many times George Bush has seen this film--the ultimate frat movie because his new spin on the war on Iraq sounds like it came right from Otter's mouth. As I understand the administration's current argument, they are saying that since Congress knew what they knew, if the White House is wrong, then so is everyone else. Think of President Bush's face leering intently into the camera, "You f**ked up -- you trusted us" while Vice President Cheney puffs out his cheeks with food and says, "See if you can guess what I am now. I'm a weapon of mass destruction. Get it?"
