George W. Bush Tells Mildly Off-Color Joke About His Dad on Live TV

George W. Bush is still making the media rounds for his new book Decision Points. Today’s stop included “Fox and Friends.” By now, many of the book’s popular details have been exhausted, so Bush turned to a B-rated recounting of a hospital story involving his father and his “test results” — except test results originally gave way to a sort of off-color rhyme:

    I saw it live and love Love LOVED it! It was funny all by itself, and funny even though it was during “family” hour. If children don’t know what testicles are, they are too young to be impacted. If children DO know what testicles are it will pop a few neurons on how to play with language cleverly. One can do fart jokes and think lazy humor is funny, or one can craft a joke based on a clever use of language, however questionable its “taste” and LEARN something about how wonderful the English language is, how humans hear, how humans anticipate language, and then SURPRISE – something unexpected happens. No matter how you slice it, the joke is a product of multi-step executive functioning and way better than 99% of the CRAP fart jokes people think is funny these days – Oh… and as a bonus thought – Liberals don’t think ANYTHING is funny, WHICH IS THEIR PROBLEM.

    The thing with Bush is that when he tells one of these little stories you actually care. I‘m not a hardline conservative but I just don’t see Obama being able to pull that kind thing off without it seeming forced and scripted. Even though Bush in all likelyhood knew what was coming and had that story prepared it seemed natural. The second thing with Bush (and this is a little off topic) is that he was sure of himself and once he made a decision he stuck by it. I remember Colbert made the joke about him at the WH correspondents dinner that “he believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday regardless of what happened Tuesday”. I could just imagine the Ground Zero mosque question being asked and Bush taking a stand against it and not backing down when he gets an earful from CAIR or the ACLU or some such other group, compared to Obama’s handling of it.

    Sorry I’m rambling

    George Bush and Barack Obama somehow ended up
    at the same barbershop.

    As they sat there, each being worked on by a
    different barber, not a word was spoken.
    The barbers were even afraid to start a
    conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.

    As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had
    Obama in his chair reached for the aftershave.
    Obama was quick to stop him saying,
    ‘No thanks, my wife Michelle will smell that and think
    I’ve been in a whorehouse.’

    The second barber turned to Bush and said, ‘How about
    you sir?’
    Bush replied, ‘Go ahead; my wife doesn’t know what
    the inside of a whorehouse smells like.’

    We need to send someone a dictionary. Even though I do my share of misspelling, I must submit ‘testicles’ are really ‘testicals’— just in case someone is not sure what testicles are.
    Testicals defined: what the present administration is unable to locate or am I still confused today? Okay, give me a break- it was simply a mildly off-colored haha. Don’t report me!!!!!

    Now if George had told this one……

    Obama’s motorcade was traveling by a scenic river when he told the driver to stop. He stepped out and was looking down at the river lost his footing, rolled down the hill and into the river. Before the secret service could get to him 3 kids fishing pulled him out. Obama shook him self off and told the kids they just saved the President of the United States. Now what can I do for you Obama asked the first kid? Well sir my daddy lost his job and we did not get a vacation this year. Obama said how about I come get your family and we fly Air Force 1 to Disney World. Great said the boy. Now what can I do for you Obama asked the second kid? Well my dad lost his job too. And I’ve always wanted some Air Jordan’s. Well son this is your lucky day I’ll get you some shoes signed by MJ and we’ll play 1 on 1 at the WH. Obama looked at the third kid and asked him what he wanted. Well sir I would like one of those fancy wheel chairs with all the stuff on it. Shaken Obama asked is someone ill at your house son? The boy replied, “Not yet! But wait till my Dad finds out I saved your black ass……………..

      How about “at least slightly Constitutional”? This isn’t a “half loaf or none” situation. He did some horrible, terrible things (as in policy, not as a person). There is no need to swoon over the joker now. He may be amiable and “not a bad guy on a personal level” but he was a Progressive, through and through.

      Those of us who love our freedom, do not enjoy what we thought was the truth, amounting to the actual, deception of the people….it is not enjoyable to be considered villians.

      now that i have read all the comments i have to say; It is inconceivable the amount of abuse people will put up with. This man Bush was terrible. Read history, Read political philosophy. Back in the day Thomas J and his bros set out to fix the constitution because it gave the fed to much power. They called them selfs the (and hold on to your corn cob pipe) the progressives. this was because, even then they where progressing to a more contradiction free state of government. At one time libertarians then known as liberals called them selfs progressives. when public school because everyones favorite government act some time around the early 1900 the definitions of all the words and labels changed because the freedom movement at the time found itself unable to fight the central bank and all the government bureaucracies that sprang from its stolen wealth.

      the liberal movement then decided to go on the defensive and conserve what little left they did have. This is how they ended up on the right which at one time meant always advocating for more government power. Its from France, but that def also changed. This is also how the Republicrats became the party of ever backing down, Compromise.

      I could go on forever preaching to brick walls. It just pissed me off that you people would actually have the gull to insist that we, who know what is going on, we libertarians, we un brainwashed members of the true right and classical liberal movement have to sit on the bench and watch as you neo-con, power loving, mindless clones of the empire state botch things up in the name of free markets, free choice, and free life AGAIN. As you always have. Over and over and over and over for the last 100 years! Perhaps its time for YOU to sit this one out. Your track record reeks of stupidity!
