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!

7. 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.

8. Indeed Speaker Pelosi's talons stayed in tact. President Bush was great. Nobody else could do as well, and didn't.

10. Dear Everyone,
It was funny. Red(GOP), Blue(DEM) or Clear(IND) you have to say that at least some stuff was funny. If you did not find humour, get a life soon because life is to short to hate all the time.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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!

14. President Bush was real funny. I admire him alot. His ability to laugh at himself and to be pinpoint serious when needed makes him an awesome person.
