I remember Rich Little did a similar bit on a 'First Family' album about Reagan back in the 80s.
I liked it so much I had to read the whole thing! Thanks!
Too funny!
Is this what you do for a living ,are you an
entertainer of sorts,give it up the monologue
was foolish in the first telling and it hasn't aged well !
I thought it was funny.
If you don't like it don't read it. I don't like every joke I read here but I don't give anyone grief because they won't conform to my idea of humor.
That's why you have freedom of choice.
Not near as funny as an old SNL skit many, many years ago, also using yassir and a few others, probably at least 20 years ago.
I am sorry you are correct humor like beauty is in the mind of the beholder .
Guess pelosi_is_a_dope is not aware of the courtesy we try to give each other on FR. Note, he/she just joined this month and is already making nasty comments. Good people on here just do not do that, right? Thanks for your post, glad you got a laugh. Life is hard enough, and so much sadness and tragedy all around, that a little humor can help sometimes. If he had read my post, he would have seen it was an email I received and shared with the friendly folks of the Free Republic, just for giggles and grins.
Thanks for posting -- like you said, we could all use a smile or a laugh these days.
