So, President Bush (
watch him long for the good ol' days) and MC Rove ( watch him rap! and dance!) and Nancy Pelosi (she laughed at Bush's comparison to his mother) play along gamely, displaying their under-exercised funny bones -- even though we know they must be gritting their teeth. And dreading they still have this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner to go. So how do you think they did: Who was the funniest? Were any jokes over the line? And are the Dick Cheney shooting jokes finally getting old?

2. I loved it! Politics is so stuffy as it is. I thought Bush was great and so were the wanna be rappers! Bah humbug to the negative remarks!!

3. Bush's empty stares are pretty scary when we are expecting him to be presidential, but his comedic timing, using those same facial expressions, is priceless. He should move right into standup - the sooner the better!

5. President Bush was the funniest and I thought all his jokes were hilariously funny. In particular, I liked the one about Peolosi about her being bossy but, hey, he gets along with his mother.
President Bush is irresitable and I don't wonder that, in the photo, Peolosi was hovering over him, but obviously he must have snubbed her because her claws are back out. Sorry about your luck, Ms. Pelosi.

7. I loved all of it. I am so sick of everyone's negativity all of the time. We don't ALL approve of what's going on right now, but he's still human and our PRESIDENT. It was so refreshing to see this side of everyone. I have to admit, all of the gray hair dancing was absolutely hilarious.

8. This seems to be the only good news out of Washington in ages. Good going. I think the President was being very warm and real. Humor is refreshing, instead of all the staged carefully worded crap we hear, and the days and days and days of spin on every sentence, thank you CNN and Fox.

9. This was very refreshing, the only good thing to come out of Washington in a long time. I am so very tired of carefully scripted interviews, statements and the days and days and days and days of spin and repitition, thank you CNN, MSNBC and Fox!

11. I though President Bush was hilarious! At least the man has a sense of humor that the Libs are sorely lacking. Had it been a demoncrap president, this blogger would have been fawning all over it.

12. Gotta give that GWB and MC Rove a lotta credit for humor. Who'da thunk it? It was good natured fun, and managed to poke fun at everyone, including themselves. I am sure some were thoroughly offended by their obvious enjoyment of the occasion, but who really cares about these indignant worms, anyway???? I say Ha-Ha-Ha....

15. Our President was great and showed what a well rounded human can be forward looking and seriously correct in leading this country.
There is no one on the scene today that can be as good a leader.
Thank you God aand Bless our country .
