Artist Andy Thomas created pictures of historical Republican presidents …
… one just hanging around …
… one playing poker …
… and one playing pool.
A Facebook Friend posted the poker photo a decade ago, and that prompted me to write dialogue:
REAGAN: “You’re not bluffing about a tax increase, George? There you go again …”
TR: “Make up your mind, Abe. It’s four score and seven years later …”
GEORGE BUSH: “Not going to raise. Wouldn’t be prudent. Not at this juncture.”
FORD: “That’s all I’m going to raise. I’m a Ford, not a Lincoln.”
LINCOLN: “Yes, I know.”
EISENHOWER: “Are you cheating, Dick?”
NIXON: “If the president does it, it’s not illegal.”
EISENHOWER: “That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard you say, Dick.”
TR: (falls off chair)
NIXON: “So, Ron, how did you get elected governor of California when I couldn’t?”
REAGAN: “Well …”
EISENHOWER: “Dammit! I forgot to invite Churchill! Winnie would have loved this!”
DUBYA: “So what’s your strategery, Mr. President?”
REAGAN: “Simple. We win, they lose.”
