You shall build a turtle fence!

You shall build a turtle fence!

We don't have many turtles.

Well in Michigan, we got quite a few.

A turtle fence is exactly what you think it is.

A turtle fence keeps turtles from being hit by cars.

Those turtles that were climbing turtles couldn't climb over the turtle fence!

(Why?) It was turtle-proof! (How?) It was three feet high!

The same thing is going to happen to health care and one of these days a congressmen from Michigan is gonna come back home and build a turtle fence! Build a turtle fence!

We need a rattlesnake fence.

You shall build a turtle fence!

And I don't know if a snake can go over a fence or not.

Or if a beleaguered manatee can swim underneath a yatch!

Build a turtle fence! Build a turtle fence!

The more I drink the more this congress is makin' seeense!

If turtles are becoming doctors, we need a defense.

How shall we protect ourseeelves?

You shall build a turtle fence!

I thank the people of Massachusetts for electing me as your next United States Senator! (He's a different kind of Republican)

Are you trying to say he's a lesbian?

...But I know who I am - I'm Scott Brown! And I drive a truck!

He's got the kind of treatment normally reserved for rock stars.

Doin' lines of coke with some other lesbians in shady bars.

He's Scott Brown! (He drives a truck!) He's Scott Brown! (Democrats are BEEP!)

Democrats told us today what they'd like to do is focus on Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. (And don't forget about jobs!)

We're focused on Jobs. Jobs. Jobs! (For the unemployed slobs!)

They put health care on the back burner. The back burner for now.

Welder, nurses, engineers, come doooown, for Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.

You shall build a turtle fence!

I'll fight for Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. (When we build that fence we shall pay our rents!)

I gotta buy my kids a piece of bread! Before they wake up dead!

WE NEED JOBS!

What it seems Americans are truly worried about is FOOTBALL! Football! Football! Football!

The Super Bowl belongs to the city of New Orleans.

It was all meant to be. It's all destiny! We got the best ownership. Best coach! Best team!

What the Saints show is that we can perserve. We overcame 4 storms, over came a national recession, and the world is taking notice. We've got the strongest ethic laws; we're open for business.

BEST ETHIC LAWS!

BEST COACH!

BEST TURTLE FENCE!

BEST TEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!
