Archie Bunker

Archie Bunker, blunderer; Lived life wishing for thunder. The praise never came; Had himself to blame; Archie was no, free-thinker.

Ha, ha!... Can you imagine if Archie had lived to see the election of 2008 in the USA?! With Meat-head no doubt backing 'Pretty Boy Obama' against the war hero John McCain, those shows would have been uproarious! G.L. in the contest! :) gw

He'd probably have left the country! He was the real dingbat in his family. Thanks Gershon.

You have his TV persona down pat. In real life, the person was the opposite of this however. I like knowing this.

He certainly wasn't a "free-Thinker," M.L. You captured his personality in your limerick. Best wishes in Joseph's limerick contest! Hugs, Carolyn
