Bush Makes a Dick of Himself

The party starts now
Clearly unable to get a smile out of the average American with soaring petrol prices, President Bush has taken to stand-up routines. At the White House Correspondents Dinner last night, two George Bush’s stood upon the stage, one George Bush, the other an impersonator. What started out as a comedy night of jest and good humour quickly left the president and his wife totally unamused when Stephen Colbert presented his routine. Whist Laura and George were clearly offended, the majority of attendee’s found the performance hysterical. Colbert’s routine was gold, poking at Bush’s famed bizarre speeches and low approval ratings.


"I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq. Ladies and gentlemen, believe in yogurt. I refuse to believe it's not butter. I believe in this president. I know there are some polls out there that say this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in reality. Reality, that's a well known liberal bias."

Topics also included weapons of mass destruction, photo opportunities on aircraft carriers and at hurricane disasters, melting glaciers and Cheney’s recent accidental shooting incident. Colbert’s satire extended to the media’s influence during Bush’s term,


“… the liberal media who are destroying this country, except for Fox News. Fox believes in presenting both sides of the story — the president’s side and the vice president’s side… Let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know--fiction."

haha.. I didn't get a chance to see this, but I wish I did! Even though I am American, I find it funny when people tease Bush and his "wonderful" speeches.

Good post!

I think you are more of a fascist fan of Bush.

Go back to your Texan 'dmocracy.'
