"Wherever this guy goes he has trouble," remarks Letterman. "A normal situation turns nasty."

"Ya know, the American people...sometimes they like the presidency and sometimes they like the President,..get it?" Bush said at a recent press conference. "No I don't get it," quips Letterman. With his writers behind him, Letterman's been on a hot streak lately and he tends to hit Bush harder and more consistently than any of his other Late Night competitors (although I am admittedly a huge Conan fan). In the clip to your right, he takes on Bush's visit to the Middle East and also includes the recurring bit "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches." Enjoy!

Digg!

The GOP and Technology = Water and Oil
It's just awkward (and funny) to listen to Republican leaders talk about how hip they are to the tools the kids are using on the tubes.

I really don't need to say any more, but if that line was written for him; a serious reveiw is needed for further employment consideration. I really think it came straight from the source. After all a "C" student at Yale; not many are known for being great speakers or thinkers.

The 'Presidential speeches' bit is one of the top ten items on tv.

there's trouble? He also destroys and fails at everything he touches. Including our country, or what is left of it.

Bush has been used to persons fawning over him whatever he does. Keep in mind the way waiters in posh eateries fawn over people who might be able to tip well.

He gets this attention wherever he goes, but it isn't for his personal wit or wisdom. He's very much like an upper-class snob, but without any intelligence, respect for others or good manners.
