In the story, the surrealist comic that played Bush resigned after he granted himself the right to those signing statements and unchecked spying authority and met with little or no resistence, saying that even for his Kaufmanesque sensibilities, this had all gone way too far.<BR/><BR/>Oh, would that the real Bush had that kind of integrity.Isaac Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402890244648619420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-73581305487972795632007-02-15T00:55:00.000-05:002007-02-15T00:55:00.000-05:00Sid Caesar had a character he did in sketches year...Sid Caesar had a character he did in sketches years ago — scrunched-down homburg hat, ill-fitting overcoat, glasses, small mustache. It was a professor somethingorother, always introduced by Carl Reiner as "the world's foremost authority." And, of course, the prof was a complete whack job.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the professor would start to say something very lucid and kind of interesting. And then just stop. And after a lengthy pause go on to something else completely unrelated. At other times, he would seem to babble incoherently.<BR/><BR/>You'd have to replace the hokey German accent Caesar used with a Texas drawl faintly on the verge of a lisp at times, but it would get you close to what I saw at two or three points in Bush's press conference today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1053888149168605602007-02-14T20:04:00.000-05:002007-02-14T20:04:00.000-05:00My head just exploded.My head just exploded.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398931203483061703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-59055287491915175222007-02-14T20:01:00.000-05:002007-02-14T20:01:00.000-05:00I begin to wonder if maybe George Bush is a comedi...I begin to wonder if maybe George Bush is a comedic genius in the spirit of Andy Kaufmann. Like this is all some sort of surrealist-absurdist act that we're all sucked along with. When he's no longer President, we'll wonder if he ever was or if he still is but he's just not telling us. Comdedians in the future will go on for days about what a great 8-year joke this guy pulled-off.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.com
