Entertainers have been using look a likes to make fun of Presidents at least as far back as Kennedy. Some times these skits are quite funny. Often I think how funny they are is in the eye of the beholder. Those watching Clinton get skewered for his womanizing laugh their asses off, while any humor targeted at Bush draws anger and protest. The guy doing the humor was from Foxes alternative to Saturday Night Life. He played Bush there during the election season. It's an attempt at humor, nothing more. Perhaps a bad attempt. But entertainment nevertheless. Lighten up.
While I agree with you, this is friggin football. Why the need for a comedian on the pre-game show anyway. While Caliendo does good impressions, after you've seen them a couple of times, they cease to be funny. I laughed my behind off when I first heard him do John Madden, but after hearing it for the upteenth time, I want to change the channel. Since when have football pregame shows become cabaret shows anyway.
The skit actually was rather funny! The point was that I don't want to see it on a football show. Period. It could have been a skit lampooning Klintoon and I still wouldn't want to see it on a football show.
