The Impolitic reminds us of some classic Bushisms that give the president the edge as the funniest:
"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country." - George W. Bush
"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." - George W. Bush
"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls." - George W. Bush
Duh! That last one is one of my favorites. Click over to the Impolitic for more examples, and to pick your favorite.
Moving along, we come to Dick Cheney. He's always been a dour, crabby looking man in my opinion, but I think he's finally giving Bush a run for the money in the comedy department. Who would have figured? The LA Times has an entire article devoted to the vice president who has become a punch line for newspapers, blogs and comedians after he accidentally shot his hunting companion.
"Good news, ladies and gentlemen, we have finally located weapons of mass destruction…. It's Dick Cheney," David Letterman said Monday on CBS' "Late Show." "We can't get Bin Laden, but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney.
"The guy who got gunned down — he is a Republican lawyer and a big Republican donor, and fortunately the buckshot was deflected by wads of laundered cash, so he's fine," Letterman said.
"I guess the guy is going to be OK," Leno said. "When the ambulance got there, out of force of habit they put Cheney on the stretcher…. Cheney's defense is that he was aiming at a quail when he shot the guy — which means that Cheney now has the worst aim of anyone in the White House since Bill Clinton.
This is my absolute favorite though:
The public health blog Effect Measure said: "After the incident, the Vice quit for the day, as he'd bagged his limit of rich Republican contributors."
You gotta love those guys for making us laugh - when all we really feel like doing is crying.
