This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 426: Congressional Politics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

Comedian in Chief?

Who needs Colbert at a Correspondent dinner when you've got stuff this good? For anyone that may have missed the bizarre, yet hilarious and somewhat frighteningly real comments Bush made last night, I posted the story from CNN. This quote sort of sums up the evening:

"A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," President Bush said Wednesday night during the annual gathering.

"Ah," he said, "those were the good ol' days."

This is definitely worth the read. Also, PLEASE watch the improv rap song from the event with Karl Rove's wicked dance moves on full display (notice David Gregory from NBC news complementing Rove with his own unique dance style). There's a link at the bottom of the article. I guess when things are going this badly, you have to figure out some way to divert attention from the issues, even if it's ripping on your own administration.

Oh, and to tie this to Congressional politics in some way, Bush had these words:
"and I'd like to thank Senator Webb for providing security." Classic!

Wow, that is some funny stuff. You definately have to appreciate his sense of humor. He has had some rough years but he is still able to poke fun at himself. I think that is pretty respectable!
