What were the words Dave made up to "Hail to the Chief" while singing in the shower?

That is easy:

Hail to the Chief,

He's the one we all say hail to.

We all say Hail to the Chief,

'Cause he keeps himself so clean.

He's got the power

That's why he's in the shower. RashBold^{Talk to me} 17:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Georgetown

I have changed the reference to setting in Baltimore to Washington, D.C. - - - Dave clearly bicycles to work over the conduit streetcar tracks of P Street, NW, Georgetown, D.C., and his employment office is in no less a location than "Doc" Dalinsky's Drug Store where Doc hosted a usual Sunday brunch for the likes of Art Buchwald, David Brinkley, and Ben Bradlee. After Doc died, it became a trendy clothing store, who are probably the folks the "Dave" film production team rented the space from.

Also - when Dave Kovic leaves the Bethesda Naval Medical Center, Dwayne asks him if he is okay. Kovic says he is - and adds "It's not far." Georgetown is directly south of Bethesda on Wisconsin Avenue.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dave poster.jpg

Image:Dave poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Removed Bit about Parallels to Clinton Adminisration

It must be more than coincidence that the president in the movie is named "Bill", is disrespected by his strong-willed wife, and is portrayed as having extra-marital affairs with young, attractive members of his staff.

Actually, this cannot be more than coincidence, seeing as Monica Lewinsky was not even hired by the white house until 1995 (see Lewinsky scandal), and this movie was released in 1993. Still, its an interesting coincidence, so if there is any way to incorporate it coherently in to the article, then I'm all for it. ObsidianOps (talk) 02:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
