Bush Sings Farewell At Gridiron Roast

George Bush took the stage and sang an early farewell at the Gridiron, an annual roast among politicos and journalist in D.C. Lynn Sweet has a nice rundown on the evening's festivities and most popular targets of jest (Hint: running for President paints a big target on your back).

Although the media weren't allowed to bring their cameras, somebody did manage to smuggle us out of some footage. For you viewing pleasure, here is George W., singing goodbye (lyrics below).

Yes you're all gonna miss me, The way you used to quiz me, But soon I'll touch the brown, brown grass of home.

I spent my days clearing brush
I clear my head of all the fuss
But the fuss you made over harriet and brownie
Down the lane I look and here comes Scooter
Finally free of the prosecutor

Chorus

And then I wait and look around me
At the oval walls that surround me
I realize I was only dreaming
For there's Condi and Dick, my old compadre,
Talking to me about some oil rich Saudi,
But soon I'll touch the brown brown grass of home."

Chorus

That old White house is behind me,
I am once again carefree,
Don't have to worry 'bout a crisis in Pyongyang.
Down the lane I look, Dick Cheney is strolling
With documents he'd been withholding,
It's good to touch the brown brown grass of home."

not funny, not funny at all.

[leftbehind2000]

Thank god this assclown cannot run again, because I have no confidence in the American people, or the system, to prevent his re-re-election.

[thoughtsoutloud]

No fiddle at the White House?

[cmbaldwin]

This is sickening beyond words. The majority of the people in this country are stressed and suffering from 30 years of reaganomics and this ignorant wannabe cowboy sings, smirks and pat the good ol' boys on the back because they've hit the jackpot. He walks away with a great presidential pension and no worries. We are left with a depleted treasury, a divided nation, and a military stretched to it's limit. I don't find any humor in this AT ALL.

[themightylex]

cmbaldwin. Neither do I. The President is actually making a mockery of all the corruption he's most likely guilty of. Those lyrics are almost a confessional of acknowledgment. This is disgusting.

I want the media and the country to take note of this.

[enoughalready13]

I will add to your list of other "accomplishments" by Bush ...

> An educational system that turned teachers into cheaters in order to pass the thresholds
> A collapsed housing market due to zero corporate goverance/­regulation
> Wall Street that has become "Mob Street" given all the greed, corruption and insider dealmaking
> A deteriorated infrastructure with all the budget cuts
> 12 million undocumented illegal aliens who are ravaging and raping our system

It is truly unforgiveable what this asshole has done to this nation ... and what's more unforgiveable is that NO ONE IN GOVERNMENT is bringing this man and his cronies to justice!!! He needs to sit in a jail cell and rot.

[dutchess2]

Yes, he is an ignorant mess.

But the thing you need to remember is that the people laughing is the free press with the constitutional duty to let us know when the POTUS lies, who is supposed to point out when the legal system
allows a Scooter Libby to be pardoned..­.who should have been outraged and thundering about a CIA agent outed for political gain, who should have pointed out from day one that Iraq was NOT responsible for 9/11.

They should all be fired.

[batgirlevi]

When the day comes that we no longer have to listen to this fool pronounce his 's's all like they are 'sh's alone will be a great relieve.

Argh!

[Virago55]

Batgirl - Ha! Your comment made me laugh out loud. I feel the same damn way.

[eugenegerard]

ALL of them think the American electorate are FOOLS. They ,just. may be right.

[flacon]

Okay-it's official. You Bush haters won't cut him any slack no matter the occaison. This event was the Gridiron Dinner. It's an annual event going back decades. Top politicians sing and dance for those who make their lives miserable on a daily basis-the press! What surprises me is no one has mentioned the fact that all attendees agree the no camera rule. Now you have someone go back on his/her word with hardly a tsk tsk from those high minded screamers looking for the presidents scalp.

Folks, it's time to lighten up. Come out of your rooms and feel the sunshine. Ask your mom if you can set the table or help her in any way tonight. Go talk to your father and for once listen to what he says. He's smarted than you think.

[Virago55]

No you lighten up, evidently you haven't been paying attention the past 7 years to the evil doer we know as Georgie Bush. Oh yal, it's just friggin' hilarious. You should be ashamed or embarrassed to defend the criminal. You bring up the fact the person who taped this went "back" on their word. Ha! You are incredibly naive. OMG!!

Believe it or not the American people are in no mood.

Shame on you.

[Chandidevi]

flacon - it's time for CHANGE!

[izzat7]

Lighten Up????? The man is a murdering lunatic that brought this nation to it's knees and you want the Bush "haters" to "lighten up????

[Razz]

Why should we cut him any slack? It doesn’t matter if this event is going back decades or a year. If you are a criminal you should never gloat on your crimes, because it’s going to come back and get you one day.
There is nothing to lighten up when our country is in the state that it is because Bushco. Maybe you think 4000 lives, over trillion dollars and the country in recession is a laughing matter but most people here don’t.

[nyboomer]

How much slack should anyone cut a homocidal maniac and his evil cohort? They lie and cheat and help their friends steal and then sing about their lies, thefts and cheating.

[wolf58]

As long as US service members are fighting and dying in combat I will demand that commander and chief act accordanly. Looking for WMD's under his desk, dancing his jig in front of the White House and now this while families bury there dead shows nothing but disrespect for those who wear the uniform and defend this country. He is a traitor and if you support him then you are as well.

[enoughalready13]

I could not agree more!!! Here here!!!!

BUSH = ASSHOLE = TRAITOR

[gevan]

So, can he leave like TODAY!

[HopeandChange]

Obama like is for hope and like for change and like he thinks the future will bring like hope and like change and like George Bush like sucks.

[Dee321]

These tactics are all so obvious.
The Prez and the Right Wingers are out to clean up Dubyas image.
First he Dances for them.
Then he sings karaoke.
Next he will have a big barbecue.
Maybe his daughters wedding and we are all invited.
While we are being distracted, his popularity ratings go up and up.
The voters will say, "he is not so bad after all. he is a nice country guy!"
So Obvious!

[paco833]

Pretty funny.

[keemia]

Would have been funny if it was a joke...

[francoise]

Some of us knew he was a moron, and a heartless one, before he was elected.

Some of us discovered it all along the 7 and 2 months of his painful presidency.

What we can all realize here is that there are heartless imbeciles who are so ingulfed in ignorance and lack of morals that they find the last 7 years funny.

I just hope for these laughing morons to be the first ones on earth to suffer deeply from the effects of polution and global warming.

[WingsofCrystal]

He has no low point does he? It's amazing just how putrid he really is. Katrina and Iraq aren't laughing matters unless you are straight from hell.

[SILVANUS]

Beneath contempt, even. 'Ha ha heh heh, Let's All Puke.'

[Tankan]

If Tom Jones were dead he would be spinning in his grave!

After having his song mutilated by the butcher boy he may wish he was!

[ZenCrusader]

This is far more disgusting than Ann Coulter going out with Bob Novack. The fact that anyone would find this funny is actually quite sad.
