Lighten up. Is life just too serious to never have some fun?
Run for president...show everyone how it's done.
FOISTED. The word is FOISTED. (And here you are calling Bush “dumb”)
Good. I never watch the late shows - too busy playing games and visiting Facebook, but it’s good to know Bush was treated well on the show.
Yeah, we get it. You hate Bush blahgblah blah, Halliburton blah, Katrina blah, Bush is the source of all evil. Thanks for hijacking the thread, jackass.
One possibility that Reagan pursued was to make ex-Prexy Gerald Ford his VP.
Ford and Reagan couldn't agree on the responsibilities that Ford would assume, so the Ford vice-presidency idea was finally dropped.
I was a strong Reagan supporter, and was appalled at the idea.
I agree completely.
It is one of the consistent put downs of the liberals... Dumb, Stupid, unqualified, no experience, dangerous, etc. Yet Obama is not all that smart, he had next to no experience and is proved to be a liar socialist/Marxist, and devoid of compassion. And they love and praise him!!!!!
Has nothing to do with reality. MO
As in “Git there foistest with the mostest” (Nathan Bedford Forrest).
Hey, Jay, Zero and Michelle are providing a lot of material too, if you’re willing to use it.
I work with veterans on a daily basis (actually, they seek me out because they know I will advocate on their behalf). To a person, these men and women exhibit an extraordinary level of humility, humor and appreciation for our 43rd Commander in Chief — I’ll defer to their informed judgement (and class)!
KUDOS!
When asked later in life Reagan said Nancy’s first choice was Jack Kemp. Bush was not foisted on Reagan, he chose Bush himself. There are plenty of sources on this including Lou Cannon’s biography ‘Role of a Lifetime’.
After all, Bush did win a number or primaries and Reagan felt he needed to shore up the East Coast in 1980. Remember that there was still some bad blood between the western conservative wing of the party and the eastern blue bloods from 1964, and Nixon did nothing to make that schism go away. There was also some lingering issues because of Reagan’s primary challenge to Ford in 1976.
Yeah, that’s a real classy post.
“Hey, Jay, Zero and Michelle are providing a lot of material too, if you’re willing to use it.”
If Leno does use any anti Zero and Michelle material he will be labled a racist and the Crips and Bloods will unite and pop a cap in his ass the next time they see him.
I'm pretty sure he does know. He sure got the last laugh, of the interview.
The term is FOISTED. Which I’m pretty sure President Bush knows how to spell.
Making him smarter than you, you must admit.
Who would you rather had have ‘foisted’ on us than GW Bush and G Bush, for Presidents, during each of their terms???
Former politicians go to ROASTS, and invite comedians to political events who do their best to trash them.
For instance, President Bush had Lewis Black appear at a Washington event DURING his Presidency.
This lambasting is all perfectly acceptable in the name of entertainment.
President Bush said he doesn't get angry, hold grudges, etc.
The Jay Leno show is an advertising medium, and President Bush was wise enough to use it.
If it helps him sell more of his books, it was good judgment.
Maybe Leno was using him, during his Presidency.
Now President Bush is using him.
