Last laughs from Bush 43

bushband.jpgPresident Bush took his last turn at the mike at a White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday, also conducting the Marine Band. Noting his daughter Jenna is getting married in two weeks, he said: “Please excuse me if I’m a little sleepy. At 3 a.m. this morning, the red phone rang. It was the damn wedding planner.”

Other highlights:

  • “Sen. McCain is not here. He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit. You know, he’s not alone. Jenna is moving out, too. The two Democratic candidates aren’t here either. Sen. Clinton couldn’t get into the building because of sniper fire, and Sen. Obama is at church.”
  • “It’s an interesting crowd. You know, just think: Pamela Anderson and Mitt Romney in the same room. Isn’t that one of the signs of the apocalypse?”

    Not bad. Maybe he will have a better career as a comedian than president. But God bless our American President. Now move along…….

    Hardy, har, har… Isn’t he just the joker.

    Rhonda, you forgot Cheney’s crack - (I’m betting though, it is pretty forgetable, we’ll have to ask Lynn):
    “In Washington D.C. we are experiencing global warming, you know what I call spring.”

    These boys are just too funny. Nothing like a good laugh when Rome is burning, huh?

    Relax, Rome isn’t burning up Steven. And neither is the earth. Gas is a little expensive, but at least we don’t have lines…

    I don’t know why, but a song by Bob Walkenhorst of the Rainmakers comes to mind,

    We’re all growed up, we’ve all gone wild,
    we all been beat, like a stepchild
    I’d help ya save the the world but I’m busy that day
    one foot on the gas, the other in the grave
    In spite of everything, it’s purty good to be alive

    How cute, the press gets with Bush and parties together. Now today they’ll go back to their job of kissing his ass.

    What a f***ing moron!

    At least when Nero fiddled while Rome burned, he didn’t do it publicly.

    The only thing funnier than Bush’s jokes, which were pretty cute weren’t they, is the hate, anger, and gnashing of teeth the DemLibs suffer anytime he says anything.
    Anymore, I get quite a laugh out of the torment they self-induce over him.
    I love to witness their tantrums, knowing how miserable they make themselves. :lol:

    The (un)funniest joke from the Bush administration was “we know where the WMDs are”

    Love how the measure of a good presidency is now how long the gas lines are. Hey remember back before Bush when the measure of a bad president was such inflation and gas prices of the 70’s and the potential death of Americans??
    My my my how things change.

    Boxlock–

    Look at that picture.

    He looks like a 4 year old kid playing “conductor.”

    The greatest country in the world — nay, in the history of the world — is led by a total moron.

    Capn,
    See what I mean about self induced torment? You’re it!
    Opinions blinded by hate.
    Glad I don’t suffer it.
