Steve Bridges was perfect at the President's alter ego. Bridges got the voice, mannerisms and even the shoulder-shaking laugh of GWB down wonderfully. (The heavy makeup so Bridges could look like Dubya was a little weird, but the overall effect was hilarious.)

Steve Bridges as President's Bush.

Yes, I watched the video (available at msn.com, they really are quite good msn, I hate to admit it, but they are for the hot topics). Bridges was dead on, more Bush than Bush. A wonderful routine, really. The same guy as straight man and comic, and they even kept trading those parts.
I tell you, when W needs material he definately knows who to call. Maybe he could take over producing SNL or something when his term is up.

Sometimes when Bridges is a guest on a TV program I am not sure at first if he's Dubya or not. It takes a while to be sure. But then he does that laugh at the wrong moment and I know!!!!
I remember when Papa Bush invited Dana Garvey (?)to the White House and the guy said he was so scared at first but Papa Bush could not have been nicer to him.
Class is inborn and the Bush's all have it!
