Critics of the Obama administration have been quick to quip about how things were better under Bush (you might recall that Montana billboard, featuring a picture of Bush - ?Miss Me Yet??).
Now, there?s even a comedy act along those lines, and it?s by noted impersonator Steve Bridges, who performed side-by-side with the 43rd president at the 2006 White House Correspondents Association?s annual dinner.
Continue ReadingBridges is launching a new show for next year called, ?President Bush: Miss Me?? and it features Bridges impersonating a now retired Bush.
?I am free, baby, I am loose. Feelin? good? lookin? good? check out the suntan,? says Bridges as he portrays Bush. ?Like they say in D.C., I got my Boehner on.?
As for retired life, ?Bush? says, ?I?m bored out of my mind. I mean, it?s nice spending all this time with Laura and all. I mean, finally gettin? to hear all her opinions and feelings about everything? twenty-four hours a day, seven days an hour, fifty-six weeks a year?Every morning she hands me a big ol? ?honeydew? list. She calls it a ?honeydew? list ?cause if I don?t do any of it she launches a melon at my head.?
Other topics include?
President Obama: ?Obama is a smarty pants. Slick talker, too. Heck, he?s firing up the Republican base like I never could. Folks ask what advice I would give President Obama. I guess I?d just give the same advice my dad gave me ? just try to be more like Jeb.?
European debt crisis: ?And there?s no need to get our panties in a bunch over this European debt crisis? it?s all Greek to me. Here?s the deal? we have the most productive workers in the world. All of the little tags that say ?Made in China?? We make those here!?
Iraq: ?Everybody sayin? I shouldn?t have gone into Iraq. Nobody mentions the places we didn?t go into? like Bosnia, and Kardashia.?
The death of bin Laden: ?And remember how I said I would get bin Laden, dead or alive? Well I was right, except for the ?I? part. Okay, Obama found him and killed him. But the whole ?killing him? was my idea!?
2012 candidates: ?Mitt Romney?s like a chameleon, always changing his position. And Michele Bachmann?s a chameleon because she has big scary eyes, and I think she eats bugs. Then there?s Rick Perry with all those teeth. And all that hair. Who doesn?t like teeth and hair? How smart can Rick Perry be? He went to Texas A&M. The A stands for ?A moron? and the M stands for ?Empty-headed.? See, he?s just taking my shtick. Stealing my whole thing? It feels like there?s a guy walkin? around talkin like me, walkin like me? creepy! He?s all hat, no sizzle. Or steak. All sizzle with a hat, no steak or cattle.?
Bridges? publicist tells POLITICO that he hopes to take his act to comedy clubs next year but is more likely to stick with his more regular venues: conventions, meetings and corporate events.
Despite the wave of attention he received following the 2006 dinner, Bridges hasn?t just stuck to Bush. He?s developed an Obama impersonation as well, which can be viewed on his website, www.stevebridges.com
And if you really miss George W. Bush this holiday season, you can head to that website and get Bridges to videotape a personalized greeting for you, from ?President Bush.?
