This scene was obviously inspired by Ronnie's telling of the doctor "I hope you're a Republican"

I remember the aftermath with all the crazy reports about Hinkley and his obsession with Jodie Foster and Taxi Driver.....can you imagine being Jodie and having to deal with all the media attention.

Just imagine the conversation had Hinkley been successful....

HINKLEY: Jodie, I just killed the President for you!

FOSTER: Er, uh.... that's nice.... Hey, you got a sister?

I mean, for Hell's sake, if you're going to kill a President to impress some chick, at least pick one who is even capable of being attracted to you.

Ouch....no one said Hinkley was the sharpest tack on the board

Always loved Nightline.

The irony here is it was started to track the Iranian Hostages' treatment, and progress getting them released.

Saturday Night Live did a brilliant parody of the Nightline treatment with a young Eddie Murphy portraying Buckwheat, who was assassinated. Joe Piscopo plays Ted Koppel.

Why does Savicki's obsession with Laura Branigan suddenly come to mind?

Gotta love Haig for his "I'm throwing my helmet into the ring" campaign kickoff.

Was that not Bill Clintons slogan?

[LoungeMachine]

Was that not Clintons slogan?

Shrillary's??

I believe her's was I'm throwing my dick into the ring

Come to think of it, so was Bill's

I thought this thread was going to be about Zah becoming a grandparent...

That was hilarious !! 2nd best SNL lineup behind the original....

Got me before I realised I had to clarify my brilliant gag...

"She booted all over the back of her car. You know they're gonna make me pay for that..."

Great stuff but stretching credibility to almost Independance Day levels.

I remember an ER doctor telling me about the Reagan shooting and how when he arrived the fairly junior doctor on duty went to call his senior doctor and Reagans Secret Service guys made him hang up without talking to him.

The insisted that Reagan was treated exactly like any other gunshot victim and calling the senior consultant would have broken that protocol.

The idea behind this is/was that they had done research prior to the shooting and decided that ER acting differently treating the president as a special case could be dangerous to him.

Not sure if that policy is still in place now you have a black president...

[Baby's On Fire]

Just one more inch...and a few litres of blood...and the USA could have once again been great.

Instead you got 7 more years of devastating Reaganonomics....

If only John Hinckley was a better shot.

[LoungeMachine]

If only he had had his glass of orange juice without the vitamin C....

[Baby's On Fire]

Or just one inch to the right....

Alas....We were stuck with George Sr......Well...What do I give a fuck?.....I'm not a Yankee...Just commentary...nothing more.

Maybe if Ronnie was dusted he would have been a real legand,...instead of a right wing douche bag monolith who did nothing more than destroy the once-great USA....Ronnie was the start of the decline of a great nation...He was a fucking douche bag.

Tits on a bull...no offense to bulls
