Anti-Bush / Shwarzenegger Humor by famous comedians.
Ok, so I got this in an e-mail from my mom. I figured I'd pass it on, it's hilarious. some of it may be a bit distasteful but take it for what it's worth - it's actual comedians so I am not editing what they said. There are no vulgarities

Subject: Bush humor


"Finally, a candidate who can explain the Bush administration's
positions on civil liberties in the original German."
-- Bill Maher, on Schwarzenegger running for Governor.

"President Bush is supporting Arnold but a lot of Republicans are not, because he is actually quite liberal. Karl Rove said if his father wasn't a Nazi, he wouldn't have any credibility with conservatives at all."
--Bill Maher

"They're saying Arnold will get 95% of the vote. At least according to his brother, Jeb Schwarzenegger."
--Craig Kilborn

"President Bush has been silent on Schwarzenegger. Of course, he can't pronounce Schwarzenegger."
--David Letterman

"Here's how bad California looks to the rest of the country. People in Florida are laughing at us."
--Jay Leno

"Well, we're all excited because President Bush has started his 35-day vacation. He's down there in Crawford, Texas and on the first day of his vacation he went fishing. He didn't find any fish but he believes they're there and that his intelligence is accurate."
--David Letterman

"The United States is putting together a Constitution now for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It's served us well for 200 years,
and we don't appear to be using it anymore, so what the hell?"
--Jay Leno

"President Bush held his first full press conference in over five
months this week. He announced that the war on terrorism is continuing, much, much more work needs to be done on the economy, and
Saddam Hussein has not yet been captured. And then he said, 'I'm going on vacation for a month.'"
--Jay Leno

"President Bush is leaving to go to Crawford, Texas, for a 35-day
working vacation. This should go over big with all the people taking a can't-get-work vacation."
--David Letterman

"The White House says that the vacation in Texas will give President
Bush the chance to unwind. My question is, when does the guy wind?"
--David Letterman

"President Bush's economic team is now on their jobs and growth bus
tour all across America. I think the only job they created so far is
for the guy driving the bus."
--Jay Leno

"President Bush has refused to declassify portions of the congressional 9/11 reports about the Saudis, because he says it will help the enemy. Not Al Qaeda, the Democrats."
--Jay Leno


Man I laugh reading these for the 10th time still heh

3. Leno is to Bush what rats are to a sinking ship.
He sucked up so hard to W, but that didn't last.

5. He's just reading the lines ....
there's a radio station in Boston that plays part of Leno's monologue during the afternoon ride home (WZLX - around 5:10pm). I've heard him tell as many * jokes as Clinton/Democrat jokes. So, I think it's just what is topical.

7. Did anyone see how the audience reacted to the Leno joke?
I didn't and I'm curious. This joke:

"The United States is putting together a Constitution now for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It's served us well for 200 years,
and we don't appear to be using it anymore, so what the hell?"
--Jay Leno


That's a pretty radical thing for Leno to say. The important thing is how the audience reacted.

8. These are all good, but I can't imagine why you would think they
would offend DU! You know that no-holds-barred Bush*-bashing is what many people come here for!:-)

I heard one on the same Letterman that I liked that didn't make your list.:D

``President Bush* is leaving for a month's vacation at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. That makes sense, since it's about 140-degrees there right now! How many people here get a month's vacation? No? That's because you're needed at your job!'' David Letterman

Also, want to trade mothers?:shrug:

9. I hope the pResident takes these in the spirit they were intended...
After all, sir, we all know what a good sense of humor you have, and we're not laughing AT you, we're laughing WITH...

Nah, screw that. Who am I trying to kid? We ARE laughing at you. You schmuck.
