Bush: The Lowest Common Denominator in Chief
Posted 18 weeks 1 day ago by
Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave us The New Deal.
George Walker Bush gives us an appearance on Deal or No Deal.
Our Commander in Chief made a cameo appearance on Deal or No Deal to give a message to a contestant, who had served three tours of duty in Iraq (the third tour, mind you, was a stop-loss tour). Bush honored him for his service and then made a lame attempt at humor:
“I’m thrilled to be on Deal or No Deal’ with you tonight,” Bush said. “Come to think of it, I’m thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days.”
It’s amazing that Bush finds his own incompetence so damned amusing.
Come to think of it, Deal or No Deal was the perfect place for Bush to make an appearance.
* The game requires absolutely no intelligence
* Against all odds, contestants make ill-advised choices based on greed
* Contestants rely on the terrible advice of their closest friends and advisors
