Every president gets 2 hits

I have heard this for years but can't find anything online about it. Do any of you know anything about this rumor/theory?

[EventHorizon]

They also get 4 RBIs.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you are referring to the story that each president gets to choose two people who would be killed without any consequences.

Well it's crap. No evidence of this exists.

[beachnut]

They get 7.5 strikes too...

Ahh, I thought it was referring to a belief that every president has had two assassination attempts.

[bynmdsue]

isn't this a Simpsons joke?Like a future set episode where Lisa's POTUS and Nelson is an SS agent?

That's exactly right, I wasn't specific enough. The rumors go that Clinton's were Vince Foster and Ron Brown.

[Coffee]

Reagan's hits were Ray Bolger and Danny Kaye. Both of them beat him out of good acting roles and Reagan ended up doing "Bed Time for Bonzo". Reagan never got over it. He had them whacked.

[fuelair]

It was the subject of a science fiction story sometime in the 60s or early 70s where the wife of s senator - the Pres.'s mistress was the hit (and it said only 1). The story was not actually SF except that it took place a few years in the future but was in an SF mag (I suspect F&SF because it went for more unusual stories and I read every issue of it).

The Bush presidents got thousands of hits. They chose 2 countries.

[TexasJack]

But do they get to inhale?

Yes, but they can't exhale.

BTW, are related to moon1969?

[Off topic]Very cute, however, between the two Bush's there were 3 countries: Panama, Afghanistan and Iraq. A lot of people forget about Panama.[/off topic]

Someone's BDS is way out of control.

Nowhere does it mention death or murder. Just eliminating boundaries. That's it.

[bynmdsue]

suuure.

Sure...and what happens to the people in Israel? I suppose why we are at it we should just hand over Spain and Greece, any more countries you want to hand back because they were unfairly taken?

To the OP...I think that is really just a joke that has been blown out of context.

[twinstead]

Hmmm. 'Eliminating boundaries'...'Special handling'. I love phrases meant to cloak the underlying idea, don't you?

[ronpaulisright]

There are good jews in judaism and there are zionist crazies in judaism. There are good muslims in islam and there are fanatical crazies in islam. There are good christians in christianity, and there are religious baby killing wackos in christianity. So every religion has it's fair share of crazies.

I am a agnostic/nihilist so I don't care either way, However, thinking that "they're evil we're good is just plain ignorance"

Ignorance is bliss for you "skeptics" though.

Well, Israel is the reason why there is war in the middle east. Wouldn't you agree?

[twinstead]

Yea. It's all Israel's fault. If Israel was wiped off the face of the map peace and prosperity would reign supreme in the region.

Wouldn't you agree?

nihilist? nihilist Ron Paul supporter? LOL. And the only person engaging in ignorance here is you. You're the one that believes that everyone will just pack up and leave, and all those terrorists will join hands with the lil' children of the world and start singing..."Good morning starshine. The Earth says hello, you twinkle above us...."

Life isn't a damn Coke commercial or a freakin' Disney movie Ron.

When you find anybody here who thinks it's as simple as 'they're evil and we're good' you may have a point. Until then, you're just an irrational ideologue who likes to characterize his opponents as 'sheep' to prevent having to deal with their points.

[fullflavormenthol]

No. It isn't. There are many...many...many complex issues you simply ignore. It is your ignorance of history that keeps you from learning this.

[bynmdsue]

oh yeah "agnostic/nihilist".What a stupid goddamn thing to say.So an "ag/ni" wouldn't know whether he believes in anything or not?Is unable to take the leap of faith required to not care about anything?

"He's a nihilist"
"oh yeah? must be exhausting."

... Since I now have Regan doing the "Vessel with the Pestle" bit from Court Jester in my head, I hate you.

Do you think Poppa Bush should apologize to the citizens of Kuwait? Could they ever forgive him?

[Timothy]

It's clear that it's fiction. Otherwise Bill would have cleared up that little problem he had with Hillary.

[fullflavormenthol]

LOL. I don't think he'll catch the sarcasm.

[1337m4n]

You guys, SERIOUSLY. (http://www.tv.com/the-simpsons/bart-to-the-future/episode/1528/trivia.html#quotes)

I mean, come on.

CTists aren't even trying anymore.

[pomeroo]

If I took two pages to explain, he still wouldn't understand.

An agnostic/nihilist should, in theory, not care about anything.

You obviously care about SOMETHING--your very screename is evidence of that.

Therefore I am disinclined to believe you when you say you are an agnostic nihilist.

[abenja1]

Well maybe you mean Vice President seeing as Cheney got his first.... almost. :p

I am not doing anything about it. So yeah, I am a agnostic/nihilist.

I voted for Ron Paul and agree with him on almost every issue. That's about it.

Hey! Coffee identified the topic for this thread. Please stick to it, and not politics/ bickering.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Even if it were true:
1. Does every President (I assume you are refering to the US President) have to use the two hits?
2. Does the President get two for every term they are elected to?
3. Does an "accidental President" get two of his own or does he have to hope that the previous President didn't use his before he died/resigned?

Let me add:

4. If a President doesn't use the two hits do these hits then move on to the next President, who would then get four? I doubt William Henry Harrison got to use his two hits in the 30 days he was President.

This CT is assuming that none of the Presidents had a moral objection to it and put an end to this practice.

[Travis]

Sure every President gets two free murders also one bar in every jail cell is fake, and easily removed, and don't dial 911 the real number is 912.

If I ever get to be POTUS, I'll take a window pane and a yellow sunshine please.

I really do not think Reagan could have "pestled" or "chaliced" for 5 seconds much less a minute or more - even with multiple retakes. (Though I suspect he would have "Phallused" several times during it).:) [and don't even ask what went on during Bonzo's bedtime!!]:jaw-dropp:jaw-dropp

Put a "B" movie actor, a Chimpanzee and some bananas in a room twelve hours a day - what could go wrong?

The Flagon with the Dragon holds the Evil Empire now, I guess. Or maybe Brylcream and Grecian Formula.
