I got this email from Steve Bhaerman today:
COMEDIANS FOR ROUTINE CHANGE SAY…
“George Bush. Good for comedy, bad for America.
He’s just not funny anymore.”
Top 11 Reasons George Bush Is Good for Comedy
11. No doubt about it, George Bush has the gift of gaffe.
10. His mispronunciations make language purists go nucular.
9. His ability to generate ready-to-use comedy material cannot be misunderestimated.
8. His past provides the left with an answer for “latté liberal” -- cocaine conservative.
7. His language is rich in irony: Clear Skies Initiative. Healthy Forests. No Child Left Behind. And of course, the Patriot “Act.”
6. Only in America: A guy who goes missing in inaction while in the reserves can grow up to be Commander-in-Chief.
5. Here’s another comic irony. Bill Clinton took an outturn with an intern and his little peccadillo got blown all out of proportion. Meanwhile, George Bush was in bed with that Lay at Enron who screwed millions, and he got away with it.
4. He’s a jokester when he wants to be. Like the time he invited a group of “tree huggers” to his Texas ranch and gave them each a prickly pear cactus as a gift.
3. He put Mad Cowboy Disease into the lexicon, not to mention Deficit Inattention Disorder.
2. His wild and crazy approach to foreign affairs has awakened Americans to the realization that there’s definitely something funny going on.
1. Finally and most importantly, his serious foolishness has united people around the world to choose the pro-laugh credo of “all for fun, and fun for all” and work for a world where we all laugh together instead of all crying separately.
Top 11 Reasons George Bush Is Bad for America
11. Patriot Act abuses have turned due process into doo-doo process.
10. The Bill of Rights has been boiled down to just one: You have the right to remain silent.
9. As Rodney would say, America now gets no respect because of the dangerfield Bush created in Iraq.
8. His Christian Right cronies decry two men lying together as an abomination, but seem to have no problem with an entire administration lying together to bomb a nation.
7. He’s responsible for a new horror flick, Honey, I Shrunk the Economy. “Yep,” says George proudly. “Bought us a country. $200 billion down and many lifetimes to pay.”
6. Established the 9/11 Commission, and when the report was issued, proudly declared, “Omission accomplished!”
5. When there was an opportunity for a shift after 9/11, he downshifted.
4. Instead of focusing on keeping the peace in Iraq, he’s seemed more concerned with keeping the pieces.
3. The only time he has ever lifted a finger for the environment, it’s been the middle finger.
2. The neocon con game has turned America’s reasons for going to war from just cause to just ‘cause.
1. He has indeed served America these past four years. Unfortunately, he has served America up on a silver platter to multinational corporations and his own cronies.
