Hey Jim DeMint, this was Waterloo, you were Napoleon, Obama was Wellington and Pelosi was Blucher

[Zynx]

Those who don't know the history of it, look it up to appreciate the reference.

1. Great analogy!

I know this cast, but not Blucher.

The rest I know, and this fits!

[Zynx]

2. Blucher appeared on Napoleon's flank as he was making headway against

Wellington, who sat in a defensive position and was the decisive element in the battle in defeating Napoleon. Pelosi filled that role.

3. Thanks!

5. You didn't mean...

Frau Blucher?

(cue the horses)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I don't think he did, lol!

But what do you bet she was based on him?

:rofl:

[Cirque du So-What]

7. In a totally urelated vein...

I just found an entry for Frau Blucher at Snopes, debunking an old rumor that 'blucher' means 'glue' in German, hence the horses whinnying in fright at the mention of her name.

10. I thought is was "Glue Factory"...

Does anybody know how to say "glue factory" in German?

4. DeMint got served a cream pastry to the face, a boot to the ass, and a shoe

to the nuts....

Don't tell me I don't know my history....

[TankLV]

8. Frau Blucher?

I miss Chloris Leachman...

9. LOL! Seems a quite fitting analogy indeed.

:evilgrin:

Bachmann(the General riding the horse) telling Boehner(Napoleon) saying Pelosi(Blucher) has the votes and Boehner(Napoleon) says...damn!

[Zynx]

12. That's pretty much exactly what happened.

Lol.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. At least they had the right battle.

[Zynx]

14. Good point.

15. Jim DeMint cannot be compared to the greatest individual of the last millennium

[Zynx]

16. Napoleon was a villain of a very high order.

Those wars killed a number of people so great that, were it not for the two world wars, we would look upon him as a Hitler-type character.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

19. Amazing ignorance... I cannot believe I am reading an adult saying that

Oh well.

[Zynx]

22. I'm amazed anyone would call him a great man.

He was a craven expansionist whose actions resulted in the deaths of millions with no positive outcomes to show for it. If you are going to go on about the Napoleonic Code, that's a debate I welcome.

[lordcommander]

21. The killings were during his battles, not with the civilan population nt.

[Zynx]

23. His wars were mostly utterly pointless.

Also, one million civilians did die during his wars, if you had bothered to look it up.

17. Go Wellington!

[Ikonoklast]

18. "What hump?" asks DeMint.

[angee_is_mad]

20. Whoop there it is!!!

nuff said.
