There is so much material from, and so few comedians to cover this administration that I hate to miss any of it! The only thing good about these fascists is they are so much fun to make fun of.
10. During Vietnam there were several Nixon impersonators
I remember impersonators like David Frye and Rich Little going on the Carson show and other shows. Both of them were very funny and very good and got a lot of exposure. There was even a movie called "Another Nice Mess" featuring Rich Little and another guy who looked just like Agnew. The movie was about Tricky Dick and Agnew at the White House in turn acting like Laurel and Hardy. There was a scene in that movie that had me collapsing to the theater floor in laughter when Rich Little as Nixon looked at himself in the mirror and shook his jowels. The film was apparently yanked from the theaters by conservative groups after just a few days and has never been shown on television (to my knowledge). But at least it was done. Can you imagine a similar feature film with impersonators being done nowadays that depicts Bush and Cheney for an hour and a half acting like complete buffoons? It wouldn't even get financing.
