Hate Pit Continued

[erika]

This weekend, Greg from Baltimore pointed out that the "King of the Hate Pit" wasn't represented in this thread or on the episode, so...

[Forrest]

It's hard to throw a guy you voted for three times into the H.P.

[Andy]

He's in my Hero Pit.

[dave from knoxville]

Strange how "funny" is subjective.

Huh?!

DavfrumKnuxvlle, that interview was entirely unfunny. And there's no gray space there, that foul ball went up into the nosebleed seats.

I played his "Math Test" piece for about a dozen people last week. They all thought it was hilarious. I'm just saying.

B is for the bravery you've given us
U is for unanimous victory
S is for the strength with which you rule with
H is for forgotten memories

Bush, Bush, America's greatest president
Bush, Bush, the best we've ever had

I played his "Math Test" piece for about a dozen fellow math nerds at Knoxville Junior High. They all thought it was hilarious. I'm just saying.

Fixed!

GW BUSH WAS BORN IN THE HATE PIT.

FROM NOW ON I WILL REFER TO HIM ONLY AS THE SPAWN OF HATE PIT.

"He even joked that because of the writers strike, he had more time to work on his car collection," a staffer said.

Holy moley - PFT wasn't kidding. Hopefully Jay isn't driving past a Taco Bell.

Thanks for this. One of my favorite moments of the show; it always makes me laugh and, yes, sing along. I'm not ashamed.

[Laurie]

I love that H is for "forgotten memories."

Pierce Bush, W's nephew... who, from the looks of it, has political aspirations.

OK, I will admit that I didn't listen to the whole interview, if that's what you're referring to, DFK.  But what I did listen to was unfunny by any measure.  That he's a child of privilege is demonstrably true, though that sort of scuttles my whole argument.

I suggest that we be really careful with this line of reasoning, though, as it's something of a slippery slope.  I mean, lots of people think Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia, and Larry the Cable Guy are funny.

I want to punch him hard in the face.  That smug Bush grin . . .

What, Me Worry?

I love that H is for "forgotten memories."

Too bad he doesn't spell his name "Busch", because the C could be for "cocaine."
