This Bush quote from a press conference, when the President was addressing a reporter:
"You violated the one question rule right off the bat. Obviously you didn't listen to the will of the people."
That one made me laugh while shaking my head in bemusement.

Posted: 11/4/04 at 2:27pmYou know, George W's humor attempts are about as witty as Hee Haw. He just needs to lay off the comedy -- it does nothing but make him look like a buffoon. And an insensitive ass.

Posted: 11/4/04 at 2:28pm"Need some wood?" as displayed in the lovely Tiff's signature is still my favorite awkward bit of humor of late...

to you, rlb. i thought it was funny, from the sound of it, so did most of the press corps.
he was talking about trying to work with democrats, tiff.
"you covered me when i was the governor of texas. i told you that i was going to do that as a governor. there was probably skepticism in your beady eyes there."

Posted: 11/4/04 at 4:22pm"Need some wood" was, in retrospect, probably the highlight of the debates. Except for his spastic facial expressions in the first one. That was pretty funny, too.

Thank you, ckeaton.
The funny part of Bush's attempts at humor lie in: a) the chuckle he does leading up to, and following his wisecrack; b) how uncomfortably bad his comments are. I guffawed at the reference to "beady eyes" simply because I thought he would be flayed.
But his delivery is more like, "ah-heh, ah-heh. *pause* Need some wood? ah-heh, aheh. *awkward silence*" And THAT'S what makes it funny.

Posted: 11/4/04 at 5:51pmIt kind of surprises me he delivers jokes so badly. I would think that would be right in his skill area- direct social interaction and charming people.

He is full of himself, and yet - empty-headed.

Posted: 11/4/04 at 6:25pmReporters in the past few decades have been becoming much less respectful of exactly who the President of the United States is and what he represents.

Posted: 11/4/04 at 6:27pmPfft. The press and the White House feed on each other even as they work against one another. And if reporters have lost respect for the office of the President, they did so along with everyone else. Thanks, Nixon.
