Comedian Patton Oswalt: "The Bush Presidency Is Kind of Like the Movie 'Battlefield Earth'" [VIDEO]
I make a point to never watch Leno but I did catch it last night since Hillary Clinton appeared. Her interview offered little-to-no surprises but I was very amused by comedian Patton Oswalt, who was the next guest. He does a great riff on Bush's whole "history will judge me" routine. He says Bush thinks his presidency is like the movie Blade Runner, where it bombed when it first came out but 25 years later people hail it as a masterpiece but in reality it's much more like John Travolta's disastrous Scientology epic Battlefield Earth. He also talks about how it's hard for comedians to make fun of Bush anymore because it's so widely accepted that he's been a horrible president. Check out the video to your right for more and have a great weekend!
