I always assumed this line was written by Eddie, but recently learned it dates back to the 1980's (cite)

    this line was actually originally used in reference to George H.W. Bush during the 1988 democratic convention.

    It was said by Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower, "perpetually preppie.....a toothache of a man.....born on third base and thinks he got a triple".

    I don't think anyone could've said it better.

    FUCK THE BUSHES!

    Hope I don't get in trouble for the swearing! :oops: :shock:
