Preceding poster: "Best thing since Nixon authorized spying?"

[The Mikado]

Our friend from PA came up with this fantastic variation of "best thing since sliced bread," and we intend to run this sh**t into the ground.

Mickers, I don't get the purpose of this thread.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Mickers, I don't get the purpose of this thread.

Me neither.

Mickers, I don't get the purpose of this thread.

The tea party will be kicking your asses in the midterm election this fall. They are the best thing that's happened to this country since Nixon authorized spying.

Well, Mikado is certainly the worst thing  that's happened to the United States since Nixon autorized spying.

But I don't get how this is a preceding poster  thread.

Inks is simply the best thing.....

[RIP Robert H Bork]

I can't stop laughing...

Derek, you're a great man--and with humor too!

(but please do skip me, because like Inks, I don't get the idea of this preceding poster thread)

How can you not get it?

I say no to Officepark, though he might be the best thing since Bush authorized torture.

I was half joking in that about Nixon authorizing spying. I am a proud tea partier though.

[Bo]

 no

[RosettaStoned]

Definitely!

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Nope

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Oh, I get it now.  So, basically, you're saying, "Is the preceding poster the best thing since Nixon authorized spying"?  If so, you could've worded it much better.
