      “And put it in a lock box”… This actual real-life debate is the reason why he won the popular vote. Check it out kids.

      Hard to decide when both your choices suck, are owned by corporate America, & could give a shit about regular people, every 4 years.. Libertarians are a joke. Undecided voters? Not so much. If u can decide between these choices, u are the problem..

    IMO, Dana Carvey's George H. W. Bush impression and Will Ferrell's George W. Bush impression are not very accurate at all, but absolutely hilarious, and so they're the best impressions of those people. I've seen more accurate impressions of both, but it's more important to be funny than accurate. Darrell Hammond’s Al Gore is fantastic.

      @@Kaddywompous of course it's him. However the commenter was confused as in this case ,first time in history of his appearance im sure, Jimmy did not break his character. The reason for it was that in late afternon on that day, he suffered a blow to the head by a horse as a result when he mocked it for having such a long face (not realizing the horse was employed in the police force and was also heavily depressed) so naturally he could not understand the text being woozy and all. It took him around 15 years before he could re-learn basic fisher-price-level comedy again. Some people close to him say he never fully recovered.
      I say bullshit,for he did not recover AT ALL.

    I cant stand the GOP, I think about it way too much. I thought Bush was such a clown until one day while I was TDY to Diego Garcia, both Air Force 1's landed and I got to meet him face to face, I was suprised how down to Earth he was with us, "The Troops". The spelling of my last name leaves me open to many funny attempts at saying it. Bush walked right up to me and said "Hi Sgt ...." and nailed my last name in one shot. I couldnt believe it.
    Best part about the visit, we had a young Airmen who always talked shit and my boss told him and all of us dont say anything stupid or act up. We were formed up and Bush walked up to my buddy and my buddy said, "Sir can I give you 2 bucks?" Bush said why do you want to give me 2 bucks? My friend said if any one asks me if I met the President I can say "Met him...shit he owes me 2 bucks."
