Home > The Wisdom of Charlie Chan: Bush aphorisms
Most of us have fond memories of Charlie Chan. Here are some of his original aphorisms from films made in the 30s and 40s. Amazingly astute in relation to the current political arena.
Gonzales on NUKE use: "Executioner merely servant of law"
Observation on American public: "Eyes of kitten open only after 9 days"
On the current Republican Party: "Faces may alter, but finderprints never lie"
On impeaching Bush: "Fish in sea like flea on dog....always present but difficult to catch"
On the US military staying in Iraq: "Guest who lingers too long becomes stale like unused fish"
On our original invasion of Iraq: "Hasty conclusion like hind leg of mule....kick back"
