Would you take coookies from a Bush-supporting Repuke on the train?

Amazingly, not a single Cantabridgian rose to debate the man as their train hurtled underneath Mass. Ave. and he doled out cookies and speechified on behalf of both W. and the tabloid, Spatch reports.

Supreme Court Justices Stubbornly Refuse Poisoned Cookies

The worst assassination attempt in Washington history happened last year when some old nut in Connecticutt — not Lieberman — mailed home-baked Rat Poison Cookies to each justice.




“Every member of the Supreme Court received a wonderful package of home-baked cookies, and I don’t know why, (but) the staff decided to analyze them,” Sandra Day O’Connor said at some legal conference last week.

Hmm, maybe the staffers were tipped off by the letters included with each package. You know, the ones that said, “I am going to kill you. This is poisoned.”

Yesterday's Red Line trip in to work had a special guest aboard the train. Apparently he had a lot of cookies and was more than eager to share them with other riders. He was a larger fellow, dressed in the manner that suggested someone who counts "professional subway and bus riding" as one of his careers. Apparently baking was also another one.

"You want a cookie?" he asked everybody who sat near him. "Hey, you want a cookie? I'm being very generous today. You two, you can have some cookies, because I'm generous." I politely refused, as while my mother never exactly taught me not to take cookies from strangers on the T, I'm sure it follows the same principles of her other lessons.

The guy was loud, almost aggressively friendly in his cookie handing-out, and made a point of loudly asserting his generosity. Then, once everybody was suitably cookie-fied, he took it upon himself to start his next round of speeches.

"George W Bush is a great man in the White House with great morals," he began, in an cadence that suggested he'd rote-memorized this statement or at least had taken great care to string his words together. "He will bring peace to this country with diplomacy, and we should all give thanks that he is in the White House. He is a great man. Hey, want a cookie?"

1. Me?

I would have tossed his cookies the second he said: "George W Bush is a great man in the White House with great morals". And apologized for the shape they were in when I returned them.

2. Perhaps they were fortune cookies

Hey, I like these! I wonder what mine says?

*crack*

"You are so fucked"

Oh.

3. Obviously the cookies were laced with something good

how else to explain the man's love-fest of Bush? He was sky-high and still going up...

Those cookies had to be the ticket for that trip...

so..maybe...I do enjoy a good buzz.

course, I could do without such a drastic personality change...from disdain to love of Bush... So, maybe not...any drug that can accomplish that is to be avoided..

Maybe it was aversion therapy? Eat a cookie and think good thoughts about Bush... so ...avoid cookies.

4. Of course not - being a Bushite those cookies were full of trans fats

and corn syrup and fake chocolate!

5. Sounds like an attempted terrorist attack. (the Connecticut woman)

Funny there were hardly any news reports.

6. I would not, could not on a train

I like to, like to, use my brain.

7. Was this guy too fat to pass boot camp in the Army?

I would've told him to go down to the recruitment station and enlist if he loves Bush so goddamn much.
