Well you can say what you will about President Bush, but you cannot deny he has a good sense of humor.

Bush Plays Straight Man to His Lookalike

It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents’ Association and guests when President Bush and a lookalike, soundalike sidekick poked fun at the president and fellow politicians.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel chipper tonight. I survived the White House shake-up," the president said Saturday night.

But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident were targets of his humor on a couple of occasions.

"Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter?" Bridges said, later adding, "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."

Bush continued a tradition begun by President Coolidge in attending the correspondents’ dinner.

He invited Bridges to play his double. The president talked to the press in polite, friendly terms. Bridges told them what the president was really thinking.

Bridges opened like this: "The media really ticks me off _ the way they try to embarrass me by not editing what I say. Well, let’s get things going, or I’ll never get to bed."

"I’m absolutely delighted to be here, as is (wife) Laura," Bush replied.

"She’s hot," Bridges quipped.

The featured entertainer was Stephen Colbert, whose Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" often lampoons the Washington establishment.

"I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq," Colbert said in a typical zinger.

He also paid mock tribute to Bush as a man who "believes Wednesday what he believed Monday, despite what happened Tuesday."

It’s easy for people to be hateful with humor, and those in the spotlight are often on the receiving end of some cruel barbs.  I admire a man like the President, who understands that his position makes him fair game for not just criticism, but lampooning and responds in kind.

So today is May Day, what organizers are calling El Gran Boicot.

The day for millions of immigrant workers to take to the streets, shut down commerce with not only their absence, but their protest as well.

California has endorsed it.  The NJ and NY  Attorney Generals do too. 

Whatever.  The issue of illegal aliens are so far removed from reality that it is almost pointless to argue about it.

So fine, make your protest about against America’s soveirgnty in the best American tradition.  All you are doing is taking all the people who are nuetral and pissing them off with your spoiled and selfish protests, and your complete disregard of not only law but common sense.

If there was any justice at all, your employers would fire your ungrateful asses as soon as you didnt show up for work.

I am sick of this.  Let me say it quite clearly:

If you come to my country illegally, I do not owe you squat.  If I tried the same in Mexico, if I walked in, and demanded health care and citizenship, I would likely be jailed and deported.

If you violate my nation’s borders I do not owe you instant citizenship, I owe you a bus ride back home.  You violated our laws, and you are by definition a criminal.  Period.

When you decided to rewrite my nation’s national anthem, I do not owe you thanks for making it more diverse and multicultural.  You changed the meaning of it and violated the spirit of it to support your selfish agenda, so all I owe you is my scorn and my condemnation. 

When you disrespect my nation’s symbols, expect that people will be angry.  I am.

You say you love America, and want to be a part.  Then do so as an honest citizen, walking in the front door openly, not as a criminal skulking in the back door, slinking in the shadows.

Employers:  You who hire these undocumented workers are commiting criminal offenses.  Period.

Those are the realities.  Deal with it.
