Thank God for Tivo. President Bush (1) and President Clinton were just on the Fox pregame show to talk about Tsunami relief. After their spiels Terry Bradshaw asked for a prediction from the former President. What follows is as good an example as any for WHY WE LOSE ELECTIONS:
(Transcribed by me thanks to TIVO ... I think I got pretty close to perfect)
Update [2005-2-6 18:27:31 by Mister T in AZ]: Let me be clear, I found this to be hilarious and I love Clinton. I just think this type of thing reinforces the sterotypes most Americans hold about Democrats.
Update [2005-2-6 18:56:44 by Mister T in AZ]: Seems others have noticed too. Pay attention to the concluding sentence in the AP article.
Terry Bradsaw: Before I let you get out of here, we need predictions. We went out on a limb, an American limb President Clinton, President Bush your prediction to the American public out ther about who you think is going to win this game
Bush 1: Well it is clear to me the Patriots by uh, Patriots 14, the Patriots are gonna win it be 14 points.
TB: President Clinton?
Clinton: .... you know its hard for me because both those towns voted for me twice. (laughing) You know what, I'll tell you what I think ... okay ... I think the odd's makers have ... got it too wide ... if the Eagles defence has improved as much as I think it has. I think that is going to be the whole game. If they can play defense today you are going to have a great ballgame. If not, the President's prediction will be right.
(break for nauseatingly cheesy and poorly acted tribute to the Declaration of Independence)
Good lord. CAN'T WE JUST HAVE AN OPINION ON ANYTHING?
