The person and the politicsFollow

It's sometimes easy to blur politics and personality.

Can't say I agree with all of Tony Bliar's policies, but he's a decent bloke who believes in what he's doing.

Now GW Bush has policies that make me want to punch kittens, but perhaps his sense of humoUr is in the right place.

By inviting Steve Bridges to a dinner engagement, Dubya did score a few personality points:

Quote:
"Let's [get] things going," said Mr Bridges imitating Mr Bush, "or I'll never get to bed".

The real Mr Bush spoke of spreading his agenda "globally and around the world, as well as internationally".

Steve Bridges, who lampoons Mr Bush on television, was invited by the president to mimic him at the dinner.


Some of my critics... call me arrogant. I will not honour that with a response.
Steve Bridges as George Bush
"All right. Maintain. Be cool. Let's give this a try," said Mr Bridges as Mr Bush.

"We must enhance non-compliance protocols sanctioned not only at IAEA formal sessions, but through intercessional contact."

Mr Bush repeated: "We must enhance non-compliance protocols sanctioned not only at E-I-E-I-O sessions, but through intersexual conduct," eliciting howls of laughter from the audience.


And his Mrs made me smirk too:

Quote:
“At nine o’clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep and I’m watching ‘Desperate Housewives’ with Lynne Cheney,” she said. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife.”

“I was a librarian who spent 12 hours a day in the library, yet somehow I met George,” she deadpanned, adding that one of many differences between her and her husband is that “I can pronounce ‘nuclear.’”

Because we've never seen politicians try to appeal to the 'people side'.
