The money footage starts at 3:50: "Are you proud of the economic record of George W. Bush?"

Question: What film is the above line of dialogue -- the full line is "Pound them, Charlie...pound them" -- taken from?

Jack Hawkins in Lawrence of Arabia to shell the Turks into dust.....(though Chris seem to be using his 80 MM than the 155 MM that he pounds verbally)

Since I was lucky enough to rewatch it a couple of days ago: Lawrence of Arabia

Next Question: "Only faggots and sailors are called Lawrence!" ??

The Maltese Falcon.

"He inherited a world without Saddam Hussein"

Yeah, a world in which Iraq jails a person for three years for throwing a shoe at someone and an Iraq which is likely to be the next Bosnia when we leave is a wonderful world indeed.

"Governing is a lot more complicated than mere politics"

Except when you feel like short-changing infrastructure and regulatory agencies because you think any kind of government is evil-even when it protects you from tainted peanut butter.

"Entitlement spending, prescription drug for seniors"

But those fat-cat bankers actually worked for their money, right, Ari?

"Recession of 2001, which we inherited"

You mean the one which didn't start until after Bush became President?

"Record of...job creation"

For China and India.

"Not been attacked since September 11."

If you don't count American embassies in other countries, sure.

"Saddam lied about it"

You mean when he said he didn't have it?

"Everyone including Bill Clinton believed it"

Clinton didn't say he had it and start a war over it, though.
