FUNNY Wiki List

Tags: President Bush, jokes, media, politics

At the annual black-tie Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner President Bush kept with the lighthearted tradition and poked fun at himself. Later comics from the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" provided the professional humor including, persuading Bush political adviser Karl Rove to participate in an improvised rap song. Here are some of the zingers Bush laid on the press.

  •  
  • "A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone Ah, those were the good ol' days."
  •  
  • Noting that Vice President Dick Cheney was not in attendance, Bush said: "He's had a rough few weeks. To be honest, his feelings were kind of hurt. He said he was going on vacation to Afghanistan where people like him." (Cheney's recent trip to Afghanistan was marked by a bombing near where he was meeting with officials.)
  •  
  • On the controversy over the Justice Department's firing of eight federal prosecutors: "I have to admit we really blew the way we let those attorneys go. You know you've botched it when people sympathize with lawyers."
  •  
  • On House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Bush said some had wondered how he'd get along with her. "Some say she's bossy, she's opinionated, she's not to be crossed. Hey, I get along with my mother."
  •  
  • Looking ahead to life after leaving the White House, Bush said he might follow President Clinton's lead and produce a memoir. "I'm thinking of something really fun and creative for mine," he said. "You know, maybe a pop-up book." Possible titles: "How W. Got His Groove Back," "Who Moved My Presidency?" and "Tuesday with Cheney."
  •  
  • Bush noted that another person missing from the audience of broadcast journalists was Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat running for president. "Not enough press," he cracked.
