If only current presidents were...

This makes me think of that SNL sketch, the X-Presidents. That was such a great cartoon!

Ape Shiat Nuts		2006-06-30 11:08:47 PM

My first thought was: "What's Gerald Ford done now?"

/Besides be delicious

Arai		2006-06-30 11:09:09 PM

Does the law have a short arm?

And is it inspected?

Nuuu		2006-06-30 11:09:28 PM

Foxx was a good man. Wasn't an overwhelmingly successful pres, but he brought a bit of legitimacy to the presidency that mexico never had before.

Actually, I was kinda thinkin' of boobies, but yah...a lil surprised it wasn't about Carter

Doggie McNugget		2006-06-30 11:13:30 PM

A president in latin america in the 60's may have done bad things? Unpossible!

Subversive		2006-06-30 11:14:00 PM

George W. is next. We only have to wait two-and-a-half more years.

Too bad Reagan's dead and can't answer for it...

Apparently current presidents are though.

There, fixed that for ya.

Mexicans killing mexicans is considered genocide?

JerkyMeat		2006-06-30 11:26:33 PM

Yea, Mexican presidents are, but American presidents are wearing the warm and fuzzy coat of fascism.
Laws can't touch 'em.

MichaelMoron		2006-06-30 11:28:38 PM

Maybe the leftist student protestors deserved it?

SpeshilEdjukashin		2006-06-30 11:34:44 PM

THE FARKING ARTICLE: ...a surprise move just two days before a presidential election.

Gee, I wonder...

If the heading is accurate Bill Clinton will be in prison, eventually.

Branch Davidians may get justice yet.

Captain_Freedom		2006-06-30 11:52:49 PM

Before i read that article, when i had just read the Fark Headline, i immediately thought, man, who did Clinton rape this time?

Gecko Gingrich		2006-06-30 11:55:33 PM

Who has he raped before?

Bully!

Actually Clinton had a fairly thorough short arm inspection by the Congress. But they are all a bunch of perverts anyway.

"Foxx was a good man. Wasn't an overwhelmingly successful pres, but he brought a bit of legitimacy to the presidency that mexico never had before."

And yet, kept none of his campaign promises, and left the poor of Mexico right where they were economically six years ago, when Foxx took office.

When are they getting the Bushes (yes both and Jeb for good measure)?

Therion		2006-07-01 12:09:31 AM

It must have been Carter!
It must have been Clinton!
It must have been Ford!
It should have been Reagan!
It should be Bush!

blahblahblah.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a secret mountain bunker, Bush Sr., Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld are all reading the responses, high-fiving each other and giggling.

Qermaq		2006-07-01 12:13:05 AM

Hah! What has Polk done this time??

Bacontastesgood		2006-07-01 12:15:50 AM

They should dig up that William Henry Harrison and try his bones for the crimes he committed while in office.

Qermaq Hah! What has Polk done this time??

Probably just another gay marriage scare

/Queer as Polk

It's about time that fark Taft was made accountable for bankrupting his waistcoat maker.

Got into a lot of trouble in those 30 days did he?

RevRaven		2006-07-01 12:25:02 AM

According to Clinton's Impeachment Trial, apparently sitting Presidents can knowingly and willingly break the law and be found guilty and not punished.

/Wasn't about head
//Was about the rule of law
////Lied under oath
//Obstructed justice
//Unpunished
//Thanks Bill

/sad day.... never forget.... October 2

Dellirium		2006-07-01 12:36:17 AM

I was in Mexico as an American student during this time.
The students protesting in Mexico City had just been massacred. PRI was in full control. I watched the federales kill a person with their gun butts in the subway in Mexico city. They broke his back. I was 15 and I'll never forget it.
If you weren't with THEM, you were against them and you might just disappear.
Reminds me of Gunatanamo.
Bush better not travel to Canada after his term, they have indicted him for war crimes and will arrest him.
Yeah, Canada, those softies to the North

Dellirium		2006-07-01 12:37:24 AM

Sorry, Guantanamo...

I see you've succumbed to the brainwashing they call 'education' nowadays.

Robobuu		2006-07-01 12:42:25 AM

This kind of thing is old and busted. Virtually every living Costa Rican ex-President is currently incarcerated. Seriously, look it up. I remember in one week three of them were arrested all for completely unrelated things.

CommiePuddin		2006-07-01 12:43:34 AM

Something something George Bush something.

Snowflake Tubbybottom		2006-07-01 12:55:37 AM

Bacontastesgood: I see you've succumbed to the brainwashing they call 'education' nowadays.

But before he had been in office a month, he caught a cold that developed into pneumonia. On April 4, 1841, he died--the first President to die in office--and with him died the Whig program.

Yes, thankyou. So what happened to your education?
