Now we've got the bad Germans

One of the clever remarks I remember from years ago was watching a PBS limited run show called 'Clive James, Fame in the 20th Century' which talked about how the 20th Century was really the dawn of the age of celebrity and went right up through the early 1990s. The show sort of went decade by decade and had a great line about World War II on the subject of Eisenhower...
Even Eisenhower’s name sounded like a reminder to Hitler that the Americans didn’t just have better dance music than the Germans. They had better Germans than the Germans.
Well, no more -- and to think it all centers around not just nationality, but Kansas.

"...the age of celebrity and went right up through the early 1990s"

When it totally ended. Out of respect for St. Ron of Reagan.

I think exiling the kkkoch brothers to Germany and keeping and redistributing their ill gotten gains here is a swell idea.
