THE REAL PRESIDENT BUSH
 

 

SKETCH "LOG LINE"

Episodes begin with President Bush confounding the masses at a weekly press conference; then he is followed behind closed doors to where he drops his "Idiot Persona" and unmasks his true identity as "The Real Bush" - a man who's brilliance would make Einstein look braindead. In Episode Two, we discover that Karl Rove is an android built and programmed by Bush.

PRESIDENT BUSH
... NOW LOOK PEOPLE, I know you all got a lotta responses you want me to give up. I understand that. Nobody understands that better than me. But understand this: Questions are like opinions... and everybody thinks they want an asshole.. ‘till they get one... Now I just have time for 3 more questions... then I gotta meet wit’ some pretty voguish guys in The Ovary Office.

Hold on, there’s 7 in the box..
No, wait, that still only makes 349.

PRESIDENT BUSH
And keep in mind, this quote is pretty juicy. It was first said by the Reverend Martin Luther Whopper, King, Jr. And I don’t know about you, but when I hear about a quote from a civil rights kingpin like that, I get
goose bumps. ... ...

KELLY WALLACE - PRESS AGENT
