And why doesn't he ask the First Lady about the $500 check himself in the normal course of, you know, being married to her.
When the President inquires into the First Lady's personal bookkeeping, the First Lady gets angry at him... and yells.
Well, she's gonna get angry and yell when I inquire too.
Well, the President doesn't care so much about that.
They have bathrobes at the gym?
In the women's locker room.
But not the men's.
Yeah.
Now, that's outrageous. There's a thousand men working here and fifty women...
Yeah, and it's the bathrobes that's outrageous.
Okay, can I talk to you about adrenaline for a second?
Adrenaline?
Yeah. You're feeling it right now and it's gonna get even more cause it's a big night, and you were a hit and you've never experienced anything like this.
And you think I'm going to have a nutty.
I'm saying don't drink until you're off television.
God! Thanks Sam for that debating tip. You have a feel for nuances. You say I shouldn't be drunk when I'm representing the White House.
Yeah. And remember you're a blond, Republican girl and that nobody likes you.
[to Josh] You have to ask a girl out on a date. You can't just randomly tumble into a girl sidewise and hope she breaks up with you soon - the way you always do.
Why when the second amendment clearly says that the federal government will not infringe upon citizen's right to keep and bear arms.
Because it doesn't say that. In fact it doesn't say that at all. The only way it says that if you remove some words from it. It says a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the government shall not infringe. The words well regulated and militia are in the first sentence. I don't think the framers were thinking of three guys in a Dodge Durango.
You don't really know what the framers were thinking do you?
No. But I know that if you combine all the populations of Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, and Australia you'll get a population roughly the size of the United States. We had 32,000 gun deaths last year, they had 112. Do you think it's because Americans are more homicidal by nature or do you think it's because those guys have gun control laws?
