Good morning, Ralph.
‘Morning, Sam
Another day, another dollar.
Yep.
So how was the fact-finding tour, Sam?
Great. Thanks for the Gulfstream loaner.
What are friends for, Ralph?
Are you aware, Mr. Coyote, that the American people deserve more accountability …
… and transparency?
Oh, Sam, Angelo says “hi”.
Good guy, that Angelo.
Say, Sam, I’m a little strapped this week, can you spare a 20 or 30 billion?
What are friends for, Ralph?
We cannot enrich Wall Street at the expense of Main Street!
Good night, Sam.
‘Night, Ralph. See you at the G8.
UPDATE:
In case you think I was kidding.

So you think they’re all in on it?
When it comes to Warner Bros. cartoons, I picture Urkel as Ralph Phillips colorized. Except instead of being a brave, war-hero, proto-nationalist like Phillips, Obama is a chameleonesque cult figure daydreaming about “changing the world” and impressing foreigners with his magic check book that never runs out of money.

So true.

Very good, Brian. However, I think it is the American people who are having the Ralph Phillips fantasies. It isn’t a large leap from Bagger Vance to Carpetbagger Barack.
And yes, I think they’re all in on it. How could they not be? Here’s 20 billion, don’t do anything stupid with it, OK? (wink wink). Oh how could you spend it on bonuses?
It is cheap theatre intended for a stupid audience.
BTW, Who is really getting the bailout cash? Regional banks that kept their act together or “Big Business”? (Scary quotes mine).
The lazy cliche of our leftist friends is that billionaires dress like the Monopoly guy, puff cigars and vote R. But there are plenty of Billionaires for ‘Bama. In fact, maybe we ought to dress up like Hollywood moguls and Silicon Valley DotCom types and parade around as B’s for B. We could carry around wheelbarrows filled with cash. Wouldn’t that be cute?

Not as cute as targeted hypocrite assassinations.
