A Charlie Brown Afghan Surge

When I heard that last night's speech was going to bump A Charlie Brown Christmas from my evening viewing, I was livid.

I took it out by youtubing a few clips. And I found that quite a few lines were frighteningly appropos to the President.

A few actual lines I picked out:

• Linus Boehner: Charlie Brown Obama, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem.

• Charlie Brown Obama: I've killed it. Oh! Everything I touch gets ruined.

• Linus Olberman: See? You wouldn't hurt an innocent shepherd, would you?

• Charlie Brown Obama: Everything I do turns into a disaster. I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about.

• Lucy Cheney: Are you afraid of responsibility? If you are, then you have hypengyophobia.

• Linus Teleprompter Obama: I can't memorize these lines. This is ridiculous.

• Lucy McChrystal: I know when I've been insulted. I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN INSULTED. Charlie Brown Obama: Good grief.

• Sally: All I want is what I... I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share....[of stimulus dollars.]

And the best for last:

• Lucy Van Palin: You've been dumb before, Charlie Brown Obama, but this time, you really did it.
