Anyone Catch Bush using the "face for radio" joke again?
I remember him using it on radio guy Mark Smith awhile back, saying he had "a face for radio". Mark commented at the time that it was not the first time Bush used that joke.

This weekend on FoxNews during the Brett Baier interview with Rumsfled, Brett is introduced to Bush from a distance (they could see each other through a doorway) and Bush says something like "he looks like he should be in radio" to which everyone including Brett laughs heartily.

I am not sure of the exact quote but he was obviously re-using the same tired (and mean) joke.

My apologies if this has already been posted

1. Just another example of the boy king's arrogance.
I hadn't heard this before, but it does not surprise me one bit. After wiping his glasses on Dave Letterman's assistant's jacket during the 2000 campaign, I wouldn't put anything past the unelected chimp.

2. Here is a refernce to the first one
or rather the second one, as the first one actually only exists in Mark Smith's recollection (I think).

"Bush later called on AP Radio's Mark Smith, whom he identified as "a radio man" to which Smith replied: "Thank you very much, sir, for including our radio folks here," to which Mr. Bush replied, "a face for radio," which evoked laughter."

3. That's a hack joke
That's been around since the 1920s.

Crooks and Liars stealing jokes--no surprise.
