President George W. Bush:
“I thought [Osama bin Laden’s October 2004 tape] was going to help,” Bush said. “I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn’t want Bush to be the president, something must be right with Bush.”
The Simpsons - Much Apu About Nothing:
Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn’t work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It’s just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don’t see any tigers around, do you?
[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
[Lisa refuses at first, then takes the exchange]

Not a day goes by that that Lisa/Homer exchange doesn’t earn new relevance. If I was a clever Democratic strategist (an oxymoron?), I’d turn that shit into a nationwide ad campaign.
“The Bush Administration and the Republicans in Congress didn’t just sell us Iraq, they sold us a rock. This November, the choice is clear; you can vote Democrat, or you can vote for the Bear Patrol.”
