STEVE BRIDGES 1963-2012

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Steve Bridges. His passing comes as a shock to all of us. The cause of death is not known at this time, but we will publish more information as it becomes available. Steve brought joy and laughter to millions and was a great inspiration to all who knew him. He will be sadly missed. Our prayers go to his family at this time.

-----------

Steve Bridges imitated George Bush on the Jay Leno Show often during the eight years Bush was President. His make up and imitation were virtual Bush.

His newest imitation is of President Obama. The transition is incredible, however, the Administration has tried to put a stop to Bridges' act because Obama has made it known that he is deeply offended. You've probably never saw him on Leno during Obama's presidency, but you saw him all the time during the Bush years.

I actually met Steve back when he was doing Bush. He's a real nice, Christian, conservative guy. Here's his Obama impersonations.

I've been shocked twice in less than a week. Andrew Breitbart at 43 and now this guy at 48- both in LA. RIP Steve.

Oh no - he was so good at his craft. Another sad day. Andrew Breitbart, Davy Jones and now Bridges. Why do the good ones have to go so early in life?

Man, Barry isn’t holding back. He’s even knocking off people who just make fun of him.

I read somewhere a couple months back how Obama “was offended” by his impersonation.

Two months later he’s dead. Weird.

Well, the Chicago mafia is alive and well.

Is this what is going to be happening now? Make fun of or go after obama and die? Makes me wonder.

Is this a warning to Barack, or was the impersonation so good that the lightning bolt missed the intended target?

Mel must have had a crystal ball.

There is something very wrong going on here. Make fun of bambi and die. He no longer wants people to get in our faces, he just plain wants them dead so we will all live in fear. The scarecrow in the WH truly doesn’t have a brain.

Cannot forget Ronny Montrose.

IMHO, anyone who darers to disagree with Outstanding Leader gets knocked off ! Of course many people anymore are so thinned skinned withe no or little sense of humoer and of course they select thin skinned people for leadership especailly for POTUS.

Geez I remember that appearance at the Correspondent’s Dinner.

Both men were very funny. Bush is a class act and was a good sport.
Not like the weenie in the White House now.

Something is very wrong, here. Arpaio had better have some security.

They are cleaning the field before the campaign ramp up.

Anyone who criticizes or ridicules Obama - beware.
