Saturday marks exactly four years to the day since Chief Chimp received a Presidential daily briefing with the title "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the United States."
And, while he swore up and down we were "ghunna GIT 'im", after awhile that game stopped being fun, and so, with characteristic ADHD aplomb, President Pan Troglodytes eeped and ooped out the simian equivalent of "Frankly, my dear, I just don't give a damn"....
So suprise surprise, Bin Laden still "ain't gitted"; in fact, he's FAR from it....
Meanwhile, in a crazy, geographically-challenged move eerily reminiscent of an earlier whack job megalomaniacal despot, C. Chimp brazenly lied and sent tens of thousands of young patriotic, idealistic Americans into the desert in what was (unbeknownst to said soldiers) really just a giant,ghunna GIT 'im", after awhile that game stopped being fun, and so, with characteristic ADHD aplomb, President Pan Troglodytes eeped and ooped out the simian equivalent of "Frankly, my dear, I just don't give a damn"....
