Jon Stewart: Bush Can't Take 3 am White House Call, "Because He's Too Busy Dancing" [VIDEO]

Did you ever get the impression that what George W. Bush really wanted to be was a famous entertainer, but he didn’t have any talent or brains so he decided to just become leader of the free world instead? Now that McCain’s time in purgatory is over, I must say that it’s really heart-warming to see how one puppet with no integrity and another with no free will can come together when they’re instructed to. Check out the video to your right for more.

Busy schedule

The "busy schedule" part must have been a deliberate swipe back at Bush. Didn't know McCain had a sense of humor. Ouch.

Just wondering if bushie is on meds, happy pills, or something. So frigging goofy I can't believe it! You KNOW he HAS to be an idiot! Doesn't this dance prove it? One can short of a six pack? Not playing with a full deck? More like a court jester isn't he? The Dancing Decider.

This isn't that hard to figure out if you remember Reagan had alzheimers before his last term was up. I remember his aides couldn't let him speak in public, they never knew what he was going to say. We only learned later he had alzheimers and I remember thinking "aha! that explains it." So if Reagan's people could hide Alzheimers I can see how our Dancing Idiot Decider can get away with it.

A "man" without a conscience

We look at other presidents who presided over wars. We see pictures of their troubled nights sleep, phone calls for help and opinions, checking in with the military to see what is the best for the men on the ground...troubled times for most presidents who are at war. This president....does he REALIZE that death is involved, does he REALIZE that families are tortured by deaths of their members, does he REALIZE that over 600,000 Iraqis have met their deaths? I do not believe that he gets it. He is said to sleep like a baby. Has he ever been seen struggling with this? Condoleezza looks like she is exuberant when with the troops...no conscience. NONE. I won't even comment on Dick Cheney or their others. As to his drinking, look up G-8 on you-tube.

There's nothing funny about bush. I hope he learns the pleasure of torture someday.

Blood on his hands and mush in his brains

Regardless what this dancing jester gesticulates and masticulates, the news this morning connects the killing of an 18-yr old student in Auburn to an Iraq vet. Sure, he and Dick and these patriots support our soldiers. They send them to fight with no armor and no plan, they dock soldier pay at Walter Reed, and now, they can further cut back on VA services and throw these soldiers out on the streets.

If Barbara contends that New Orleans residents who were "all homeless before" are getting fat off Homeland Security dry foods, what would she say ab the soldiers who are dying for the sins of her son ?

The irony of this developing campaign season is that a man who was once imprisoned and tortured now embraces torture because he thinks it will give him more power. If we said Bush was stupid, how do we explain McCain's change of heart ? So much for bold thinking and lofty leadership !!!

The mark of a good comedian is the ability not to laugh at one's own joke. The mark of a good dancer is not to look at one's own feet. I wonder what the mark of a good President is. We are so far away from "serving the people" with our hand on the Bible and the Constitution. And all this talk of POTUS' drydrinking as if that in a long run justifies the fall of a nation !!! Bush is not his nightmare. It is ours.

Not the same clever Jon

Anyone get the feeling that the Daily Show is winding down? After the strike and then the Oscars it just doesn't seem to have that same clever wit it once did.

I feel like I'm watching the last season of Seinfeld.
