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

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

ABC's Obama Reporter Promises To be "Vigilant, Questioning"
Marketwatch.com's Jon Friedman talks with ABC's senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper about his new gig, which has become a multimedia affair. Friedman writes: "In this digital age of blogs, podcasts, video feeds and the like, a journalist no longer is pigeonholed into such confining categories as 'print' or 'broadcast' disciplines of the craft. In addition to his on-air work, Tapper maintains a blog and contributes cartoons, one of his avocations, to it." Friedman also asked Tapper how he is avo

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

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.

SNL: Why using Nintendo Wii is like ... you know
Original "Saturday Night Live" castmember Dan Akroyd made a surprise guest appearance on the NBC comedy program last night. Akroyd was in the opening sketch, which took on Republican resistance to Barack Obama's agenda.

The sketch plays like a sequel to his classic NPR-"Schweddy...
