If only he was the "acting president"....
If you think Bush has done a good job, that's your opinion.
My opinion is not shared with yours. Fortunately, we live in America (or at least, I do), so we can have different opinions, and we can satirize a man who leads the free world but can't master a high school vocabulary.

Sigh all you want, but no one cares what you think about Bush when they reading a Will Ferrell DVD review, or what scatter-brained idea you have regarding some perceived speech impediment. There are plenty of other forums available for your left-wing ranting, and if anyone on this thread gave a rip about it they would be there and not here.

Hey, speak your mind all you'd like. To me, taking a cheap shot like that in a DVD review is inappropriate. As someone said, there are plenty of places to voice your opinion on the topic. Chances are, anybody who is reading the review already has the jist of Farrell's impression of Bush. Your editorial isn't necessary.
This is probably not as big a deal as I'm making it. I just thought it was in poor taste.

Pay no attention to them, Rizzo. It's painfully obvious their complaints stem only from disagreement with your particular viewpoint over the president. For them to couch their protests inside a hysterical obsession for "proper" review protocol is rather cowardly.
And when Needle says "no one cares what you think about Bush," just remember he's already contributed 3 times in a thread devoted just to that.

Jeeze. It's a review of a comedy show that makes fun of many things including people in the news. Remember President Ford knocking over the Christmas tree? Regan's confusion over "No Sir, Yassir."? Bush Sr.'s "Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent."? The constant McDonalds and womanizing jokes of Clinton? And I can't remember any sketches with Jimmy Carter but it most likely had something to do with peanuts.
Buffoons one and all! (in the context of SNL only, I'm sure...)

I think the Bush sketches are hysterical, and I wish they had included more (along with more Harry Carrey).
I also think comments such as:
"Ferrell's excellent imitation of the Buffoon-in-Chief isn't as funny now, as the country struggles under the real thing. You can still appreciate the talent, even if the subject matter is more depressing than funny."
is pure sophistry, and utterly pointless to include in a DVD review. The lefties on the thread continue to completely miss the point, and boo-hoo when asked to keep their political prattle in the appropriate forum. Typical.

Bill,
You clearly have a lot of pent up anger toward liberals...which some people would find rather distasteful.
I suppose Clinton-bashing is OK, right? I doubt, based on your thread, that you've never posted negative comments about Clinton--or other liberals--in the past. Perhaps, Mr. Rizzo was just on to something you won't let yourself comprehend.
It's a free country, in case you've forgotten...and you're entitled to "ignore" comments you don't like, just as you would change the channel when you don't like what's on TV.

oh, and BTW... the Stephen Hawking comparison is beyond ridiculous and clearly grasping at straws.
You're comparing someone with a serious medical condition (and an extraordinarily brilliant mind; a fact disputed by none) to someone who didn't have a goal in life until he was in his 40s.
Stephen Hawking earned his genius...Bush has had everything handed to him on a silver platter -- including the presidency.

Well, that sums it up. It's obvious that reason and logic are completely lost on someone of your character, as i suspected they would be. You've done nothing but attack since your original post. I was foolish to think I could have reasoned with you, when talking to you makes about as much sense as clapping w/one hand. And, go ahead...get the last word...I know you can't help yourself.
