BUSH-CHENEY 2004: Putting the "Con" in Conservative

He's Tall, Horse-Faced, Weirdly Aloof, and Not Bush: Kerry 2004

One of my favorite SNL moments (post-Dan Ackroid) is this, from the 2000 election debate skit:
Moderator: "Mr. Bush, if you could sum up your campaign in one word, what would that word be?"
George W : "Strategery."

George W. Bush: Evildoers are always trying to find new ways to hurt the american people. But so are we.

George W. Bush: The worst decision i ever made was was to trade Alex Rodreguez (How do you spell that?).

Be sure to try the ballot counter.

PPS: I'm pretty sure its "No one died when Clinton lied". Not being picky, i just think this sounds better.

Bush is strong,
    but, Bush is WRONG!!!
Kerry is left,
    but Kerry is RIGHT!!!
You are clever,
    so you figure it out.

Since the candidates are usually referred to by their last names (not including obscenities), it took my brain a moment to realize the following bumper stickers handed out at the entrance to the Stone Mountain Highliand Games were politically based:

Flush the Johns.

I recently read this one, alas 4 years too late:

Al Gore
By the year 2000, we should have a robot for president.

Just thought of this, and it's scary:

The Religious Right: What Would Jesus Bomb?

I recently listened to an interview by a joke writer who had worked with Gore. Although Gore was often riduculed for his wooden style, the writer said he is more willing to laugh at himself than any other politician he's worked with.

For example, Gore asked him what gag they might use for a speech he was to give. The writer said, not serious, "Well, we could wheel you out to the dias on a handtruck." Gore said, "That's a GREAT idea." Then the writer had to pretend he had been serious and work out the rest of the humor for the speech. Gore was, in fact, wheeled to the dias on a handtruck, and it got a big laugh.

Best wishes,
Jerry

That is a title of a book (actually it's called Who Would Jesus Bomb?) that I saw on amazon.com the other day.

I used to have it as my signature, because I read it as a statement of peace, that Jesus wouldn't bomb anybody. I just realised that it can be interpreted to mean something entirely different, though.

What about a variation on the old ambiguous job reference line:

George Bush: You'll be very lucky if you can get this man to work for you.

One of my favorite 'oldies' from 2000:

I VOTED FOR GORE:
