in my searchin' I found Letterman's database of "The GEORGE W. BUSH JOKE THAT'S NOT REALLY A JOKE"
look at some of them:
"People across the country who are listening can make a difference. That's why they have e-mails, ... and phones. And, in your case, buses. [Chuckle]"
"What would Orville and Wilbur think if they saw the flying machine I came in today?"
"I appreciate so very much... I'd especially like to thank the mayor... you've got a tougher job than I do... you've got to empty the garbage and fill the pot holes"
“I’m very glad to be in the Windy City. I’ll try not to be too windy.”
Now, I think those are funny!
It's tough to be funny like that!
but I've gotta give him credit though, he can certainly read my mind with some of those top-ten lists.
Top Ten Things Going Through President Bush's Mind At This Moment (Falling off a Segway)
of course, he's referring to this event:
10. "Damn you, Al-Qaeda!"
9. "I'm sure Thomas Jefferson fell off his Segway every now and then"
8. "It looked so easy on 'The Jetsons'"
7. "I misunderestimated my center of gravity"
6. "Thank God no one got a picture of this"
5. "Only 4 days 'til Hulk! Only 4 days 'til Hulk! Only 4 days 'til Hulk!"
4. "Damn, this thing would give Cheney, like, 3 heart attacks"
3. "Congratulations, Segway -- you just joined the axis of evil"
2. "To distract everyone, bomb the hell out of Syria"
1. "AHHHHHHHHH!"
Hey, I can't very well not laugh at the truth.
However, I will make a few notes to myself.
do not try to ride another segway
do not try to tell any jokes
cross off and then re-add Letterman to that "enemies list" I found in the top drawr of the Oval Office.
