compassionate conservatism

A myth.

No, really, the campaign tool that worked for Bush in 2000. (Of course, he didn't, technically, WIN, but y'know, he came close enough.) But pretty quickly he realized that, with Tom DeLay running Congress and the media busy taping its own mouth over, he didn't have to do the whole "compassionate" bit.

"Gee, I like that compassionate conservatism Bush practiced."
"When was that? When he cut taxes for the rich while emasculating our social programs? When he denied birth control to AIDS-stricken Third World countries? When he killed thousands of innocent people in a meaningless oil-war?"
"Uh... good point."

sturgeon

A common North American fish.

"Bob, let me tell you something: About the only thing I can think of that would be less tolerable than another term under George Bush is - no, wait, I can think of a bunch of things, um... but... uh... one particular thing that I can think of that would be more tolerable... I mean less tolerable... no, more... no less - yeah, cause almost anything would be tolerable... like a lap dance... but, uh, one that would be less tolerable would be to be beaten repeatedly about the loins with a sturgeon."
