One of the folksy, “gosh durnit, that president sure is a funny feller” anecdotes in Robert Draper’s new book about George W. Bush, Dead Certain, is that Dubya is a big fan of Austin Powers and in particular, the character of Dr. Evil, imitating him often along the corridors of the White House.

My favorite part? Chris Matthews asking “Why a clueless megalomaniac?”
It’s just too easy with these guys.

oh, I’m sure he does such a spot-on impression too… maybe he’s secretly finding out how big of suck-ups the WH staff are. “Oh, ho ho, very funny, Mr. President! Even funnier than the first 1000 times! How do you do it, sir?”
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves…
…and sometimes they get to occupy the White House.
This would be one of those times.
Mad King George looks up to Dr Evil and prays to him every night.
So Jon Stewart’s impressions really are dead on.
So…he loves doing an impression from a movie that’s EIGHT YEARS OLD.
Yeah, there were 2 sequels, but still…
And the first post is right - you know they’re all HUGE kiss-asses.
At next year’s White House Press Correspondent’s Dinner, Bush is going to do another spoof video like his 2004 video mocking the search for WMDs:
“Mr. President! How much do you think the reconstruction of Iraq will cost?”
“One MILLION dollars!”
“A-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”
Probly so good its hard to tell them apart heres a hint:
One is a sociopathic psychotic rich pampered prick …. the other is a Canadian actor…
Correction - TEN years old.
No revelations there…
Except the character Dr. Evil is capable of stringing together words in intelligible sentences. “Bush don’t”
How true to life! Reminds me of the line (unfortunately I can’t recall who said it) that “The problem with political jokes is they get elected.”
linky not worky (WMA dl) :(

Chris should ask American People, they’re the people responsible for putting him in offic…ohh…oh…he was talking about Dr. Evil. Sorry. My bad. Carry on.

Reminds me of the “Tiny Elvis” skit from SNL. Elvis makes the same joke over and over and his buddies have to keep laughing at it. Heres a link to it…

Well it takes one to know one.
that is asshole enough to make me think bush is kinda funny.
it’s a real through the looking glass take the red pill alice in wonderland moment
I guess I will have to go to YouTube to see this.
Your link isn’t working.
The difference is that Dr. Evil’s approval rating is high.
Anyway, Dubya is more like Scott Evil anyway, the son who tries too hard to outdo the father…
Is anyone beginning to think that Bush and co are actually members of an elaborate political satire troupe a la the Daily Show writers who have just pulled the biggest 8-year prank on the American people in the nation’s history?

So the Iranians better be on the lookout for frickin’ sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads……
What a frickin’ maroon!
He should have called the final Franks plan for the Iraqi invasion “Preparation H”. He needs an ass cream bath. How will we get the stench out of the white house when this moron is gone? We’ll have to burn it down to cleanse it.
If only AF1 was in the shape of a Bob’s Big Boy…
Can somoene please tell Draper his haircut looks like Hitler’s? Who cuts his hair? Eva Braun’s grandaughter? Maybe grandson!
I guess 10 years ago were Chimpy’s carefree days, u know, before he became The War Preznit.
Aaaahh, nostalgia! It ain’t what it usedta be.
“The guy’s a goof ball.”?!? WTF? He’s the president of the United States for God’s sake. And they think it’s funny that this “goof ball” is the leader of the free world? Please help me….going into my room and curl up in a ball underneath my bed. Call when it’s over.
okay, so,
bush=dr evil
clinton=austin powers
cheney=#2 (bush probably calls him that and it probably really pisses him off alot)
condi=frau farbisna
rudy=mini me
fred thompson= gold finger
mccain= scotty
gonzo=will ferel character that got burnt up in the first one
Hey, hey, Condi! Pull my finger! Heh-heh-heh!
actually, he really does talk to the press sometimes like dr evil talked to scotty.
Yeah, our president, the most powerful man in the world, likes to act like a child and watch movies that are an insult to idiots. He’s just a regular old goof ball. He’s a riot isn’t he?
Oh wait, he’s a profound embarrassment and a total imbecile.
Fox cut off the hearings for a while so we could hear what Ann, I always wear a black cocktail dress, had to say.
Well, that explains a LOT about his bald-head fetish… I am not even going down the ’shorn scrotum’ road, though….*shudder*!
At least I like the movie, even at its dumbest moments, it was still smarter than the chimperor.

I’ve seen the movie. Once was enough.
I don’t know any adults that would ape Dr. Evil, except to get a laugh out of children.
I can’t imagine any man his age engaging in this behavior, in any workplace I’ve I’ve been employed in. I can’t imagine it in the White House at all.
Maybe at 44, I just grew up to fast? If I were to pick favorite movies, “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” and ‘Contact’ rate high. For silly humor, I’ll go with ‘Red Dwarf’, though you won’t see me roaming the halls pretending to be Crichton, Some work mates might accuse me of channeling Lister.
I just can’t fathom his childlike emotional development, without assuming that he is borderline retarded.
Actually, Bush aspires to be Dr. Evil and doesn’t realize that Austin Powers is a comedy.
Does boosh do the little teapot song for uncle dickie?
John Barringer @ 28:
Dont’cha mean suck?
As long as this buffoon is in power, I find very little to laugh at.
Making a joke about this isn’t like shooting at fish in a barrel.
It’s more like hunting fish in a barrel with dynamite.
Hell I’m not even going to bother.
I’ll let Jon Stewert have fun with this one.
Stranger than fact
The big disgusting truth in that clip was David Gregory. He asked a few tough questions a couple years ago and made name by not accepting whiffy answers and now he’s the biggest whore at NBC news. He got bought within the last year. Makes you want to puke.
I think he thought that the US President was cool for not accepting such a minimal request. Either that or he thinks it’s a documentary. Fucktard.
This is one of those things that actually make me remember that Bush is a human being. I don’t see the reason to heap scorn on him for this. I too like Austin Powers & Dr. Evil. It’s low brow humor, sure. But fun.
The clueless megalomaniac remark is priceless, however.
I am sure for the thousands of dead Americans and hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi’s this is anything but a sick SICK Joke. Bush and Cheney Deserve to be tried for War Crimes.

This is what I’m talkin’ about……. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....mp;search=
It makes a lot of sense that W is much like Dr. Evil, since he happens to be essentially a CEO president working for the corporations, like Dr. Evil did for VirtuCon…As for the war in Iraq, the longer the war goes on and “fought”, the more the corporations such as Halliburton, BechTel, etc. profit. It’s like the Bushies and the corporations hold the world and/or the US ransom for billions and trillions of dollars.
Bush is the world’s oldest towel snapping frat boy
ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Cheney is the real Dr. Evil. Bush is his Mini Me.
Frat Boy in Chief mimics Dr. Evil in the halls of the White House. Sounds about right. Our busted budget, stretched thin military, governing incompetence, rampant cronyism, Katrina, constitution shredded, widespread corruption, millions killed and injured in a trumped up war are all just a big fraternity prank Bush has played on America.
Well, at least frat boy can get a big laugh.
Why are these so-called journalsists engaging in this utter crap? I had CNN yesterday, and all they do is flash to stories of that missing British kid. I don’t care about that kid (not compared with other news that needs reporting. Sorry kid.) There are far more pressing matters to discuss. It’s sickening. I give up on TV “news”. (I did a long time ago, but sometimes watch and HOPE!)
The guy’s a goof ball?? An idiot goof ball. I mean, I know people who were goof balls back in high school and college, then they grew up. One thing is to have a funky sense of humor, the other is to behave like a nincompoop. If I act like a goof ball in the hospital seeing my patients, I’d get fired in a minute. That “pundits” are discussing Bush’s deficiencies as adorable traits is sickening.
John Barringer @ 21:
I wondered how long it would take to get to “the frickin’ sharks”. Thank you.
Erm…because he is a clueless megalomaniac?
Can’t make this shit up.
seems an opportune time to post this image of bush & cheney that i made years ago:
