Political Pot Shots

Post by Tsyroc »

"Finally, a candidate who can explain the Bush administration's
positions on civil liberties in the original German."
-- Bill Maher, on Schwarzenegger running for Governor.

President Bush is supporting Arnold. But a lot of Republicans are
not because he is actually quite liberal. Karl Rove said if his father
wasn't a Nazi, he wouldn't have any credibility with conservatives at all."
Bill Maher

"President Bush is on a 35-day vacation, and before he left he had
his annual physical, and it turns out his cholesterol now is lower than
his approval rating."
David Letterman

"Yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he would run for
governor of California. The announcement was good news for Florida
residents who now live in the second flakiest state in the country."
Conan O'Brien

"Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you
can be a successful politician in this country even if English is your second
language."
Conan O'Brien

They're saying Arnold will get 95% of the vote. At least according
to his brother, Jeb Schwarzenegger."
Craig Kilborn

"President Bush has been silent on Schwarzenegger. Of course, he
can't pronounce Schwarzenegger."
David Letterman

"Here's how bad California looks to the rest of the country. People
in Florida are laughing at us."
Jay Leno

"As you know, President Bush is on his 29-day vacation, which is
three days longer than last year. Well, can you blame him? Have you ever
been to Crawford, Texas? You can't squeeze it all in in 26 days."
Jay Leno

"Well, we're all excited because President Bush has started his
35-day vacation. He's down there in Crawford, Texas; and on the first day
of his vacation he went fishing. He didn't find any fish. But he believes
they're there and that his intelligence is accurate."
David Letterman

"Some good news for the economy. President Bush went on a month-long
vacation."
Jay Leno

"The United States is putting together a Constitution now for Iraq.
Why don't we just give them ours? It's served us well for 200 years,
and we don't appear to be using it anymore. So what the hell?"
Jay Leno

"President Bush held his first full press conference in over five
months this week. He announced that the war on terrorism is continuing,
much, much, more work needs to be done on the economy, and Saddam
Hussein has not yet been captured. And then he said, 'I'm going on
vacation for a month.'"
Jay Leno

"President Bush is leaving to go to Crawford, Texas, for a 35-day
working vacation. This should go over big with all the people taking a
can't-get-work vacation."
David Letterman

"The White House says that the vacation in Texas will give President
Bush the chance to unwind. My question is, when does the guy wind?"
David Letterman

"If you add up all the time he's spent on the ranch, he's spent more
time in hiding than bin Laden and Hussein put together."
Bill Maher

"(President Bush) used his press conference to come out very
strongly against gay marriage. And then he said on a personal note, he
apologized if he had done anything to lead Tony Blair on."
Bill Maher

"President Bush's economic team is now on their Jobs and Growth bus
tour all across America. I think the only job they created so far is for the
guy driving the bus."
Jay Leno

"President Bush has refused to declassify portions of the
congressional 9/11 reports about the Saudis, because he says it will help
the enemy. Not Al Qaeda, the Democrats."
Jay Leno

No surprise. Talk show hosts always take pot-shots at the government, no matter who's in charge.

Quite a few are actually really funny. :D
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

But that's pretty much in the job description.

Some of these are pretty funny. Thanks! The fishing joke from Letterman made me laugh the most.

Also:

"We just took a two-week long vacation, and that may seem a little long, but here's why: we take half of what the president takes."
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.
