Bein' on vacation I'm sittin' here watching Bushie embarrass himself. While quoting Reagan, Bush says, "He referred to Soviet leaders as 'Slave masters.'" Now, Mikhail Gorbachev is sitting about 6 rows back, and when he said this, the camera panned the congregation to reveal a pained look on the faces of everyone. Right this moment he's been going on about how bad the conditions were in the Soviet Union when Reagan took office. The camera continues to pan and the look on everyone's face is 'Dude, you really are a moron. This is not the forum for these comments.'
A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.
