Bush in "chipper" mood at reporter's dinner

WASHINGTON - It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents’ Association and guests Saturday night when President Bush and a look-alike, sound-alike sidekick poked fun at the president and fellow politicians.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I feel chipper tonight. I survived the White House shake-up,” the president said.

But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident were targets of his humor on a couple of occasions.

“Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter?” Bridges said, later adding, “He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me.”

Bush continued a tradition begun by President Coolidge in attending the correspondents’ dinner.

I should note that the watching part is much more fun than the reading part.

That was very funny, Mac!

*snort*

That was funny.


Here's another to make you laugh. Warning, not about Bush.

 

[McKenna]

How you doin' beautiful?

I'm doing very well, thanks. Grilled bratwurst and onions last night topped off with a few margaritas, but no hangover this morning. What could be better?!


This almost calls for a dancing nana. Almost.



Oh what the hell...

I love brats...mmmmm...margaritas I can do without.

I wonder if he was half-baked when he made that?!


I found it a little ... disturbing.

Well that was...different...

You are not alone, dear. To me claymation means Sesame Street and Gumby. That was certainly neither.

I like Bush so much more after watching that. Tony Blair would never, ever have the balls to stand up there and rip the piss out of himself and I'll bet you twenty to one that he wouldn't've had the comic timing to do it so well.

I wouldn't've believed it till I saw it and even then, I had to double-check that they weren't both impersonators. Bloody well done to you Dubya.

Agreed.

I'm not much of a Dubya fan, but I will admit this may have eased him up a half point or so in my book. Anyone who can laugh at themselves -especially in front of the whole bloody world- deserves a little recognition.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! McKenna!

Liked the line:
“I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq,” Colbert said.

Mine was, "Don't Shoot!" (From the video clip.)

My favourite was when Bush was supposed to be concentrating on getting a tongue-twister of a sentence about nuclear proliferation out and ended up saying 'intersexual' and 'Ee-I-Ee-I-O'.

"Nailed it!"

Why the hell can't I load that video? Not yesterday, not now. Grr.

It won't load on Firefox. You need to use IE. Took me ages to figure that one out.

Hmph. Will check it out later then on an inferior 'puter @ work.

I liked "I love America.......because it's full of Americans."

 

[Liar]

Seen it now. Pretty cool. Was that the same guy who does the prez on Leno now and then?

 

[LadyJeanne]

I liked "I love America.......because it's full of Americans."

That cracked me up too.

I also liked, "all we need is Hilary Clinton rolling her eyes in the front row."
