Those that can't understand exactly why President George W. Bush is so popular with Independents and Republicans can just look at his self-deprecating humor displayed during his appearance at the Gridiron Club's 120th annual dinner. The president can definitely deliver one-liners, even when they are at his own expense.
The highlights:
--President Bush said anyone looking for a transcript of the evening's program should call Doug Wead, the longtime Bush family friend who recently made public tape recordings of private telephone conversations he had with Bush before he started running for president.
-- Bush noted, with a little help, the presence of a number of new Cabinet members attending the Gridiron Club's 120th annual dinner. Turning to Vice President Dick Cheney, the president said, "Dick, maybe you can point them out to me."

"President Bush said anyone looking for a transcript of the evening's program should call Doug Wead"
LMAO!
I thought Bush's self-critical joke about looking under his desk in the Oval Office looking for WMD's that he told at the Media banquet or whatever it was, was funny, BUT
he got raked over the coals about how "insensitive" it was.
BUSH is the only one with a sense of humor in Washington, I think---
Dubya is able to spit it right back at 'em! If the term limit rule was changed, I'd vote for him........ again and again and again!
I agree.
The left tried to beat him up over that, but it never stuck.
Good night Groucho, wherever you are.

I know - that was hysterical - I was falling on the floor laughing. Stupid media - they have not had a sense of humor since the 20's.
SECOND THAT MOTION!
In the end, it added more voters to the base.
The no WMDs was probably the left's best shot and Bush turned it around on them. He understood that most Americans were just happy to be seeing us kick a little butt. He made light of the WMD search at a press wingding. Simply superb and he's pretty funny doing it.
And when all is said and done (note: I did not say "at the end of the day"-- ughh) he'll have the last and best laugh when he decides it's time to reveal the existence of the WMD's and their location in the Bekka Valley.
Me too!! Again and again and again!
I cant believe these skits are for real...
Prison-striped Democratic leaders were seen trying to figure a way out of "Gitmo," the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the government is holding suspected terrorists.
One sketch had Massachusetts Sen. Kerry singing a lament about "why, oh why, oh why did I ever lose Ohio?" while in the next scene wife Teresa Heinz Kerry appeared positively giddy over her husband's loss to Bush. "Thank heaven, he lost the race," her character sang to the tune of "Thank Heaven for Little Girls.""Now I can tell the press just how and when and where to go, and I'm allowed my wine and escargots."
To the tune of "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy," a Karl Rove impersonator sang about the challenges of turning Bush into presidential timber. "He looked smug, he looked dim. How we gonna win with him?" he sang.
Rumsfeld was rapped for his Iraq war planning. "Rummy, have you some spare Teflon coating that we could wear?" soldiers sang to the tune of "Mister Sandman.""You said we'd win Iraq with ease, Mr. Rumsfeld, we need Humvees."
Other 2008-themed skits portrayed Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York singing about how she'll "turn those red states blue" and Senate newcomer Barack Obama of Illinois, prancing around in a gold outfit and halo, urging the party to "go with a guy who walks on water."
I wish I could get just enough advance warning of that event to be able to buy stock in Depends, WET-ONES, Fruit-of the-Loom, and Mr. Clean.
Because after that announcement, there is going to be an enormous lot of sudden vacating liberal bowels and a great need for those product, suddenly!
That whole Weade thing went NOWHERE...
Dropped off the radar with 24 hours.
When I downloaded Michael Mooron's crappy mockumentary, the only parts I liked were the scenes depicting Bush as a moron.
The way I see it, you can be as goofy as you want, as long as you know how to git 'er done.
As we all know, Dubya does...
By the way, when was the last time you heard a Leftie mention "Bush's handlers"???
That language is gone now, along with the swill about his "Daddy's cronies"...
I'm the DU'ers are still mean mouthing Bush, but I can't imagine over what.
