"President" George W. Bush was on "Deal or no Deal" last night
:wow:
Seriously enough already- he needs to go "retire" in the massive cult enclave in Texas


http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/22/bush-%e2%80%98i%e2%80%99m-thrilled-to-be-anywhere-with-high-ratings%e2%80%99/

Bush: ‘I’m thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings.’»


In a videotaped visit to NBC’s ‘Deal or No Deal’ gameshow, President Bush last night joked that, “I’m thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days.” He made the guest appearance to offer a good luck message to decorated Iraq war veteran Army Captain Joseph Kobes who competed on the game show. Bush’s visit was met with thunderous applause from the crowd and left Kobes on the verge of tears. Watch it:


Bush now stands at 28 percent approval. USA Today writes, “Bush has had dismal ratings through most of his second term. His approval rating hasn’t reached as high as 50% since May 2005. He has been steadily below 40% since September 2006.”

4. He looked like a mannequin
I tuned in briefly last night and noticed he looked like a soulless robot reading verbatim off a teleprompter. And it was obviously prerecorded.

6. The supporting applause was what I appalls me.
Either fake or a cherry picked audience.

It's just too fake to be believed.

10. He was nervous! This was his big break!
He wants to be a movie and TV star... seriously, this is what that nervousness looked like to me.

7. Gosh, he cares so much about the troops that he went on a gameshow.
I'm getting all choaked up.

Will he also be sending good luck messages to all the soldiers heading over there right now to keep this fiasco going through the end of his term?

8. He is starting his post-presidential career!
GAWD knows he can't get any public speaking or consulting gigs... bottom of the barrel game shows that require no brain cells is his only hope.

11. My guess is their ratings will start dropping after being exposed to that radioactive contamination.
They will need to be thoroughly hosed down.

He thought he was going on "Steal or no Steal".

15. I only caught the end where the guy was spinning
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 11:41 AM by LibDemAlways
a big wheel to determine if he could double or triple his winnings or lose half of it. (It's stupid, by the way, to force a contestant into the position of possibly losing half of what he's already won. What moron came up with that one?)

Anyhow, I couldn't believe the soldier would be happy to see the chimp and that he (Chimp) didn't get soundly booed by the audience.

21. is he going to turn letters on Wheel of Fortune next?
That's more on his level of intellect. Of course you'll never see him on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" that question was answered long ago.
