So anyone add "by the way this is Kennedy" to the AH Memes wiki page yet?
You can't make it meme! It has to come naturally. It cannot be forced.
My personal favourite is
"We need peace,because this is America"
SEPTEMBER 19,WHITE HOUSE,CALL BETWEEN LBJ AND ROBERT F KENNEDY
"The White House."
"President,(gasps for air) somebody bombed Miami. I think it is the Cubans. Send the army to the beaches of Miami.Call on some airplanes,too.This could be the start of a war. By the way,it is Kennedy."
(phone hangs up)
So, we should decide which of the following we're nominating for Turtledove best quote:
"Yippies,why are you doing this madness?" -RFK
''I may had lived through that bombing,but my brother did not survive the bullet." -RFK
"...all of the bad things in this world needs to be stopped." -RFK
"We need peace,because this is America." -RFK
"President,(gasps for air) somebody bombed Miami. I think it is the Cubans. Send the army to the beaches of Miami.Call on some airplanes,too.This could be the start of a war. By the way,it is Kennedy." -RFK
Also, technical suggestion: The President doesn't answer the phone at the White House, so LBJ wouldn't have said "The White House."
I love how he answered the phone like a hotel clerk.
Didn't LBJ have a phone in the bathroom? Maybe he took incoming calls for kicks.
"This is LBJ. I'm sorry I can't come to the phone right now, but you can leave a message after the flush."Didn't LBJ have a phone in the bathroom? Maybe he took incoming calls for kicks.
