What if Petraeus had said…..

by TSO••78

I saw this from Twitchy, and it is admittedly one of the best covers evah…..

 

So, it got me thinking, what if we take other famous quotes, and Petraeusize them. 

So, I’ll get you started (with some from Brown Neck Gaitor):

“Booty is the sublimest word in the English Language.” – Robert E. Lee Petraeus

“Love is a better teacher than Booty” – Albert Einstein Petraeus

“Booty, Honor, Country” – Doug Mac Petraeus

Go forth and pun….

Update:

I won’t say who said this without his permission, but this one wins….

“Veni, Vidi, Veni.” — Julius Caesar Petraeus

    I heard a clip of her talking last night. She was speaking about having been embedded with Petraeus. Of course my mind heard it as “in bed” with Petraeus.

    My inner 13-year old was appeased.

  26. For what it’s worth, TSO: I think your “best quote” in the article is a bit out of order and may be incomplete.

    In this case, I think it ought to be “Vici, vidi, veni – abii”. I saw, I conquered, I came – I went. (smile)
