Why did the chicken cross the road?
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!
JOHN McCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialouge with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. Every chicken in this country deserves the chance to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road.
DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the other side.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook...
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
MEG: I don't know. But if there are movie stars and beer on the other side, I am so crossing that road, too.
Is there one you can add?

Was that you on the right with Alice Cooper? Were you the Breck girl?
I also need the WTF? stamp. Would high-schoolers appreciate that if I put it at the top of their homework?
Now go cross the road little chicken. ; )
I think Cheney's response is my favorite.
Alice - Yes, that's me on right with with the other Alice. When I say I stalk, I stalk.
Of course, I made my mom go up to him and ask for his permission to get a photo with him.
Everyone seems to want the WTF stamp. As far as I can tell they only exist in the photo. Which gives me an idea.
April - I like Einstein's myself.
Oprah: And once that chicken MAKES it, we'll have a free chicken for everyone in our studio audience!
I've seen this chicken thing before, but I love it. Sorry we missed each other yesterday - I've been very disorganized. I'll write today or tomorrow. I suck.
LOL! The chicken crossed the playground to get to the other slide.
My 4 year old taught me that one. :)
I get your posts via email and I forwarded this to like 5 people. It had me gut bust-style laughing out loud.
Jen - A chicken in every pot. Good one.
Maria - But was the other side any cleaner? And was the Candyman there?
Lilac - Thanks. Like I've said, all my best stuff is stolen.
I hadn't seen this before, thanks for sharing it!
dang. I wish I could join you at the film festival!
And thanks for the linky love!
Thanks for the chuckle.
That was a bloody good post! Shame you didn't include Reagan or Nixon ...
LOL
HA! Like April, Cheney's answer rocks (and also sounds the most authentic).
But . . . GAH! That photo of Hillary. I've seen it before, but, you're never really prepared.
JD at I Do Things
If a chicken crosses the road but nobody sees it does it really... wait, what was the question?
Chat Blanc, Nanny, Paper Cages -- Thanks. That's my job.
Chris - Nixon: Let me make one thing perfectly clear...I am not a quitter. And that chicken is not a quitter either.
Reagan: The chicken is not a chicken. He's a Freedom Fighter.
JD - Yeah. She kind of looks like that girl with Alice Cooper.
Anndi - No.
Love the chicken jokes. Can I just tell you how much I would LOVE to join you on your stalking expedition. Sadly, I'm out of funds and babysitters, so I'll just have to live vicariously through your reports. I will be stalking your blog for updates. And if you happen to see my favorite Canadian hottie, just don't even tell me. I won't be able to take it.
