Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former Texas Governor, George W. Bush, and his elevation to the White House.
The old Texan said, “Well, ya know, Bush is a post turtle.”
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road, and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that is a post turtle.” The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn’ t get there by himself, he doesn’t belong there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, and you just want to help the dumb shit get down.”
Hat tip to my buddy Roger!
I originally posted this on July 17th, 2007 on another blog I once owned, minus the picture. Today I thought about that post and was looking for a picture to include in an email when I discovered that FreeRepublic was using this for Obama. What a comparison, Obama to Bush. Obama got into Harvard on a scholarship and graduated Magna cum Laude. From the Wikipedia on George W. Bush, “Following in his father’s footsteps, Bush attended Yale University from 1964 to 1968, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in history in 1968.[18] As a college senior, Bush became a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society. By his own characterization, he was an average student.[19]
In 1970, Bush applied to but was not accepted into the University of Texas School of Law.[20] Beginning in the Fall of 1973, Bush attended Harvard University, where he earned a MBA.[21
Only a Freeper would think Obama is a post turtle.
