It's the final question of who wants to be a millionaire, you have 1 lifeline left...

[Clintonista2]

phone a friend. You can phone Palin or Bush. Which do you choose?

[Broken_Hero]

1. Honestly, of the two...

Palin. She drones on/talks a lot, and perhaps through all of her rambling she might spark my brain and I can answer the question.

If it was Bush, all you would hear would be "ahh, hmm, err, gosh!"

[LostInAnomie]

2. Bush would give you the answer the the wrong question.

Then, declare victory.

[LeftyMom]

3. Bush. With luck maybe I'd get a sports question and he could be of use.

I'm guessing that, like most guys who can't remember what they ate for breakfast or how to tie their shoes, he's got quite a bit of useless sports trivia tucked away.

Sadly, even though Palin was briefly employed as a sportscaster, I'm willing to bet even Bush manages to outshine her on that one. Plus he actually did get an education, so maybe a random brain cell would fire off at the moment and he might remember some obscure fact you wouldn't suspect of him. Palin would be useless in almost any circumstance- even if she knew the answer your time would be up before she got around to babbling it, Bush would almost certainly be wrong but he'd at least spit something out.

24. are you kidding?Bush couldn't answer the question

What team was George W. Bush once part owner of?

[Broken_Hero]

25. Texas Rangers,

and I believe he traded Sammy Sosa to the Cubs....

[Frank Cannon]

4. Dubya, for sure. I'll take my chances on the drunk over the total moron.

I've seen Dubya's debates with Ann Richards. There is at least half a brain in there, pickled as it may be from years of alcohol and drug abuse. There is a small chance that he could provide at least some tiny amount of help.

Palin, on the other hand, has never demonstrated anything other than that she is thoroughly stupid.

5. Palin. Bush wouldn't even be able to answer the phone without instructions.

"Uh, Dick, my ears are ringing, like the time Jenna used that phone thingie to tell me she was in jail. I don't remember what to do. Could you come down here? Yeah, I know Karl's supposed to help me, but he's finishing up my coloring books for the library I'm building."

Palin's twice as smart as Bush. That's not a whole lot. Either way, you ain't going to get the right answer.

[rug]

6. Bush, only if they asked the cube root of 756,058,031.

[Capn Sunshine]

11. it's a brazillion, isn't it.

[rug]

18. No, it's 911.

I figure, if asked, he'd panic and blurt it out as usual.

[cynatnite]

7. I'd chance it without them. Both would lie about knowing the answer. n/t

[Deep13]

8. Bush, he only pretends to be an idiot.

Of course there's no guarantee that he wouldn't lie about what the answer is.

[Auggie]

9. Bush reads newspapers, I think

[Clintonista2]

10. But Sarah Palin reads ALL newspapers

...and magazines!

[yawnmaster]

12. Depends on the question, but most likely, neither. eom

[Jamastiene]

13. Walk away with what I have.

You don't have to use the lifelines. In that case, it would be better to walk away.

[bigwillq]

17. .....

:thumbsup:

[arcadian]

14. Elder Bush

[NewJeffCT]

15. Bush - I think he might have some trivia up there

that could work

[bigwillq]

16. Walk with my money!

:bounce:

[Rhythm]

23. +1

[nuxvomica]

19. Bush for brevity. It would at least eliminate one of the answers.

Palin is also guaranteed to at least eliminate one answer but she would take too long telling you what it is.

[jmowreader]

20. Does the question have to do with snowmobile parts?

If it didn't I would have to go with Shrub.

[kayakjohnny]

21. Bush, because I'm sure the answer would be about acshionable intelligensch,

and that could be the winner.

On the other hand, Sarah could help me pull ahead if the question was about the longest sentence ever spoken, that had absolutely no relation whatsoever to anything that ever happened in the real world, in the history of the real world.

So, hmmmm... tough choice, I guess.

[MadMaddie]

22. Neither I would just take a calculated risk

Palin is an idiot and McCain has memory issues. So I would have a 33.33 chance of getting the answer right.

[quakerboy]

26. Bush

Then get the supreme court to declare his answer correct.

[qnr]

27. What would it matter? Obviously I'm an idiot for choosing those two in the first place. n/t
