Dubya Lookerlike?

October 3, 2003 1:22 PM

Last night I saw Brent Mendenhall on an Asian-language television channel, doing a sometimes-uncanny George W. Bush impersonation. Being able to understand his mock-Texan ramblings but not the host interviewing him was a surreal experience. Upon cursory investigation, I was shocked to find that some suspect Dubya of using a look-alike for particularly dangerous speaking engagements, and that others are available for hire. Saddam, too!

Don't be silly, we all know G. W. Bush is being fed dialogue via an earpiece during unscripted interviews. Compare his cadence when he is obviously following a teleprompter to his press conferences where he has to come up with stuff off the cuff. Night and day.

Fuck the Guardian. That was the dumbest, most unfunny article I've read in ages, and I'm hardly Bush's biggest fan

Ok, I confess. This was a non-post. My apologies.
