I don't think we should treat religion lightly, Mr. Gore

We've discussed what Bush and Batman have in common, but when presented with a list of quotes, can you tell which is by Bush, and which is by Batman (as played by Adam West)? It's Bush or Batman!

comparing bush to batman is like comparing the village idiot to a super hero.

The guy's an idiot, a coke addict.. that's the only way he'll escape punishment for his crimes.

That guy doesn't like Batman apparently.

Well I believe it was Frank Miller who said in an interview that the thing you have to understand about the Batman is that he is FUCKING INSANE.

It was a lot harder to distinguish between Bush's and Batman's quotes than I thought it would be. It would be much funnier if the consequences of his actions hadn't harmed so many.

In 1998 it was annoying when people used PDF files instead of html for text-based content. I assumed in 10 years things would be better.

And before you tell me about the neat sound effects and video clips that really make this come alive on youtube, let me point out that a) no I didn't watch the video and 2) bite me

Of course you could do the same thing with John F. Kennedy or Obama and Batman and get the same results.

The only difference is with those two we like to pretend they believe(d) the hackneyed speechwriting coming out of their mouths.
