"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 Rowe says 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
"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
"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 White House released a videotape of President Bush
meeting with his cabinet, and today Iraqi officials say they believe the tape
is authentic."
--Jay Leno
"The United States is putting together a Constitution 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
"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
"(President Bush) used his press conference to come out very strongly
against gay marriage. And then on a personal note, he apologized if he had done anything to lead Tony Blair on."
--Bill Maher
"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
"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
"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
that guy back yet? We need more laughs here...
But I guess there'll be more worries...
Very funny MA. I always thought Jay Leno was a little more to the right than he appears here.
LOL! I love it. Thanks :-)
MA, great quotes, thank you so much!
I'm as far to the right as ever, little k, but something are not in either world.
Glad you guys like them. A little levity can go a long way.
Since the Demo's appear to be outta the money at the moment, how about Bush-Leno vs Quayle-Letterman in '04? I'll give 5 to 1 on the Hoosiers. Any takers?
Oh well, how about the Red Sox versus the Cubs?
Was that last in English, Deb? Truly, two countries divided by a common language! I do know what a Hoosier is now, though.
Bosox v. Cubs would be an interesting game, indeed, D, as the two teams play in two diff'rint leagues. (Besides Sammy Sosa can't hit worth a damn without a cork bat.)
Yeah, I guess so, Deb. But Bush and Quayle are pretty much separated by an uncommon language from everywhere. Jay Leno and David Letterman are late night TV talkshow hosts, comics both. Letterman is a Hoosier originally, as is Dan Quayle, damn the luck.
The baseball reference was meant to get a rise outta Andy. The chances of the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs playing in the world series next year is nearly as remote as our seeing a Bush-Quayle ticket. Either pairing would be sensational.
BTW, Andrew, your recent visit to Chicago wasn't a scouting trip, by any chance?
may I join Craven in saying how good it is to see you here, Deb!
I be familiar with Mr Letterman. Actually was watching him in a film last night - "American Splendor" - the wondrously wrought tale of Harvey Pekar, author of the eponymous (with the name of the film, not the man himself) Comic books.
You certainly may, and the pleasure's mutual, Deb.
Apropos of next to nothing -- certainly not presidential quotes -- I came to Chicago by way of Houston and saw the Cubs soundly trounced by the Astros at Minute Man Field (the erstwhile Enron Stadium). That's how I know that Sammy can't hit a slow ball even with advance warning.
Well, I guess it was apropos to something. Debacle did ask.
