Rich Little isn't dead

[RedStateShame]

So with that hip, edgy performance fresh in mind, the Correspondents Association has announced its decidedly safer headliner for this year's April 21 bash: impressionist Rich Little, mimic of dozens of celebrities -- most of whom are dead.

1. He always did a good Nixon impersonation

Although, Dan Ackroyd's was funnier.

2. Who does the good Nixon impersonation: Little or Bush?

[Graybeard]

3. They won't let Little do Nixon...too relevant.

...after all, he was hired for his irrelevance. Olbermann said it best on his show. He said that Rich Little will WOW them with his Calvin Coolidge!

6. I dunno. I heard Little did Nixon for Nixon, and Nixon smiled

politely. When Little left, Nixon asked his aide which personality Little was mimicking.

4. I just looked up his bio

He was born in '38. That means he was just in his late 20s/early 30s when he was working with Carson, Sinatra, Dean and everyone else in the 60s.

That's fairly impressive.

5. So will Ed Sullivan Emcee and Lawrence Welk provide the musical entertainment?

If we're hellbent on bringing back the Nixon years let's act like we're serious about it.

7. That's so funny

10. How about "Laugh-In" and "Smothers Brothers"? Anyway, TESShow was awesome.

LW ended in 1971.

8. they do not want anyone to slander the boy/king, crybabies.

again please do not tell correspondents and the media about the real problems out there. Georgie doesn't want his feelings hurt, fuck him!

9. Aw.. leave the guy alone.

Lucky break for him... it's hard for senior citizens to make a living.
