Sweet Potato Pie

The other night Dan (famous newscaster) Rather was on the Jon (famous fake newscaster) Stewart show and said this:

"Hillary Clinton ran away with it like a hobo with a sweet potato pie"

Typical Dan Ratherism....but that's not the point. The point is Sweet Potato Pie.

Sweet Potato Pie could and should be the next all encompassing catch phrase.

Think about it.

Two planes crash into the World Trade Center and the stunned crowd looks up and says "Sweet Potato Pie!"

The Red Sox win another World Series and the people all over the world leap to their feet screaming "Sweet Potato Pie!"

You're with your lover and just at the moment of truth you scream "Sweet Potato Pie!"

You're the best man at a wedding and have to give the toast....you raise your glass, nod at the bride and groom, and simply say "Sweet Potato Pie!"

You win the lottery...."Sweet Potato Pie!"

You crash up your car...."Sweet Potato Pie!"

You get a paper cut.... "Sweet Potato Pie!"

You're at church and instead of an amen the congregation yells out..."Sweet Potato Pie!"

You need to get rid of some flaky skin on your face you just rub in some Sweet Potato Pie!

And think of history...

As Reagan ends the Cold War by ripping down the Berlin Wall the throngs of adoring Germans scream out Ich Nin Sweet Potato Pie!"

Or JFK..."ask not what your Sweet Potato Pie can do for you....ask what you can do for your Sweet Potato Pie!"

FDR..."The only thing we have to fear is Sweet Potato Pie itself!"

Nixon..."I am not a Sweet Potato Pie!"

Or Bill Clinton...."I. Did Not. Have Sex. With That. Sweet Potato Pie"

(he probably did.)
