The Ugly Woman George Bush Would Never Have Sexed [Passive Aggressive]
newVideoPlayer("/bush_uglyjoke_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); George Bush Sr. told a joke about the "ugliest woman I've ever seen," who he'd never screw. Bill Clinton passive-aggressively called him out with a "joke" of his own.Bush's little story, about an abortion-rights protester, won him Wonkette's fiercely-contested "Pig of the Day" award, a selection we wholeheartedly endorse. But the old guy isn't running for anything, and seems to have given up on any other Bush being president, ever again, so what doe

Pig Of The Day: GEORGE BUSH SENIOR
GAHH, here’s an insane joke from ancient oil baron George H.W. Bush about how he ran into “one of the ugliest, angriest women I’ve ever seen,” some lady who loved abortion, the punchline being that he would never in a million years have fucked her. Then Bill Clinton speaks — they were doing one of their little field trips together? — in awe of Bush’s ability to get away with that kind of humor, because, uh, George Bush Sr. never cheated on his wife (hehe

Monument to Bush shoe-throwing shines at Iraqi orphanage
A huge sculpture of the footwear hurled at President Bush in December during a trip to Iraq has been unveiled in a ceremony at the Tikrit Orphanage complex. Assisted by children at the home, sculptor Laith al-Amiri erected a brown replica of one of the shoes hurled at Bush and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki by journalist Muntadhir al-Zaidi during a press conference in Baghdad. Al-Zaidi was jailed for his actions, and a trial is pending. But his angry gesture touched a defiant nerve throughou...

Mission accomplished! Will Ferrell is stupid good as former president George W. Bush on Broadway
Who would have guessed that old Mr. Unpopularity, George W. Bush, would be packing them in on Broadway? Then again, it's got next to nada to do with Dubya and everything to do with the actor playing him, Will Ferrell, who's been spoofing the President since his days at "Saturday Night Live." Getting to see this comic whiz in the flesh is a big treat, and the fact that Ferrell has been able to squeeze so many fresh yuks from the beleaguered Bush legacy speaks to his always off-kilter, sometimes raunchy,

Condi Lap Dance Steals Will Ferrell's Bush Show
Will Ferrell's spoof of former President George Bush may be the hottest ticket in town, but it's a lap-dancing Condoleezza Rice - and her red panties - that steal the show.

Obama's Canada Trip: Can He Undo Bush's Damage?
OTTAWA -- When then-U.S. President George W. Bush took office in 2001, he chose Mexico instead of Canada for his first foreign visit, and relations with Canada suffered throughout his presidency. To heap the decline of Canada-U.S. relations entirely at the feet of his decision to go south rather than north is overly simplistic. Instead, taken in retrospect, it was a harbinger of a polarization between the two largest trading partners in the world. Now, new U.S. President Barack Obama is...

"We Support George McCain For President"
 For our last post about the RNC (thank The Lord Jesus That Watches Over Conservatives for that!), we wanted to show you a video that we think summarizes the feelings on the floor of the entire convention. Those feelings, conveniently, can be melted down to one line: some Republicans are staunch in their support of Bush and McCain, while others just wanted America to forget about Junior...This video is one in which I, Scanner Brian, must, in the interest of full disclosure, admit I was participant (I g

The Pentagon Memorial Park of 9/11 Remembrance Unveiled
The Pentagon Memorial project was built as a symbol of recognition for the thousands of lives lost as well as all those impacted by the September 11, 2001 attacks. 184 people died in the Pentagon itself, and this park and its architectural marvels are intended to bring peace to those still mourning, and a historical reminder to those who visit the site. The Pentagon Memorial park is inscribed with one-hundred and eighty-four memorial units. Each unit is dedicated to an individual victim - its placement an

When Hamid Karzai Speaks, Fareed Zakaria Listens
Around the world, nostalgia for George W. Bush’s foreign diplomacy might be in short supply these days. But not long ago, Fareed Zakaria, the editor of Newsweek International and the host of CNN’s world affairs program GPS, listened with curiosity as one foreign head of state spoke wistfully of the bygone era of the 43rd president of the United States. “President George Bush is a great person,” said Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan. “I have a lot of respect for him.”

Randall Amster: Obama's Economic Paradox: Can You Have "Bailout" and "Stimulus" at the Same Time?
By now the next phase of the "stimulus-bailout" plan is ready to be implemented. This version totals around $800 billion, plus interest that brings it to over a trillion dollars. Republicans stand aghast in near-unison, lambasting the plan variously as "closet socialism," "larded with pork," and insufficiently stimulative (arguing in essence that "it could take a few years for any benefits to materialize"). President Obama and the Democrats argue (a la George W. Bush, ironically) that the...

Oval Office dress: Obama, W, Clinton...
by Mark Silva So, little more than a day after Andy Card, former chief of staff for former President Bush, blasts President Obama for breaking the Bush dress code - jacket and tie in the Oval Office, please - out comes a photo of a jacketless Bush in the Oval Office.

Obama speech a big ratings draw
President Obama's first primetime news conference averaged 49.5 million viewers Monday on eight combined broadcast and cable networks, according to estimates from Nielsen Media Research. While a big number by today's standards, the 49.5 million pales in comparison to the 64.3 million that watched President Clinton in his first-month press conference in February 1993, or the 64.8 million viewers for President Bush's press conference on Oct. 11, 2001 – one month following the Sept. 11 terrorist

Ahmadinejad: Say Sorry
Former President Bush’s enemies have so far seemed eager to make nice with President Obama (see Russia’s scrapping of missile plans today), but it looks like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going to spoil the fun. The Iranian President addressed crowds in Khermenshah today, saying, "Those who speak of change must apologize to the Iranian people and try to repair their past crimes," alluding to Obama's recent interview on Al Arabiya, in which the president said “[if] countries like Iran

A Deflated President [Pic Of The Night]
This is George W. Bush before a final, untelevised goodbye to staff. Two more expressions Reuters photographer Jim Bourg had never "seen on George Bush’s face in my life" after the jump.Bourg snapped Bush as he returned to the scene of his last presidential address to the nation. Bush first exited through those doors behind him, then came back after the TV cameras were off. Bourg told his editor, "If he wasn’t just back there behind that door crying, I don’t know what that look on his face is." [via

Sarah Palin: Obama Has "Left Behind Even The Middle Ground When It Comes To The Issue Of Life" [Roe Vs. World]
Behind in the polls and perhaps looking for a way to connect with voters without resorting to Barack Obama "is palling around a terrorist" speech she gave last week, Gov. Sarah Palin has shifted her focus to abortion, referring to Senator Obama as a "radical" who has "left behind even the middle ground when it comes to the issue of life" at a rally in Jonestown, PA yesterday. "In times like these with wars and financial crisis, I know that it may be easy to forget even as deep and abiding a concern as the r

FRANK RICH: MASTER OF THE MOMENT
The NY Times Opinionator writes a devastating piece about the McCain-Palin campaign’s attempts in recent weeks to ”brand [Obama] as a potential killer and an accessory to past attempts at murder.” “By the time McCain asks the crowd ”Who is the real Barack Obama?” it’s no surprise that someone cries out ”Terrorist!” The rhetorical conflation of Obama with terrorism is complete. It is stoked further by the repeated invocation of Obama’s middle name b

McCain campaigns for Obama at McCain event?
At this late stage in the election, Republican nominee for President John McCain would undoubtedly prefer not to promote rival Barack Obama at one of his own campaign rallies. That’s what he had to do yesterday. More than once. State of the campaign There’s plenty of criticism that McCain brought this on himself because of his campaign’s tenor over the last two weeks. Then there are others who believe that questions about Obama’s past dealings with questionable characters are l
