Bush bloopers on network TV last night

[underpants]

from 8-9 on NBC "TV's Most Outrageous Moments"-some fairly funny stuff lots from BBC television but mostly standard run of the mill blooper stuff (luckily withOUT Dick Clarke).

So we are watching it and they had a teaser with Bush before they went to commercial. After the commercial they showed actual footage of W saying his oh so famous:

"put food on your children"
"Is your children learning"
"People and fish can coexist"
"Breast and the brightest"
and of course
"fool me... won't get fooled again"

With the exception of the first and last all of these had people in the background. His people. They didn't look like secret service types either.

Not once NOT ONCE did anyone even bat an eye. No one appeared to have actually been listening. In every other clip they showed any slip of the tongue created immediate reaction from everyone on the screen. Not W. Are they actually listening to him? Does it matter what he says, to them?

:shrug:

P.S. they also featured the hilarious Steve Allen with "Man on the street" interviews from back in the 70's (it looked like) asking people if they would ever vote for anyone who openly admitted that they were heterosexual-- OH NO!!! NEVER was the typical response.

1. I saw it and it was hilarious

It always happened when Bush paused and forgot his lines, at which point he had to try to be quick on his feet and tripped over them.

4. I had read some of them but had never seen the footage

Gee wonder why I haven't seen them before....must not have been watching the ONE time CNN showed them.

2. Did they put a laugh track behind it?

That would be a site to see... hate I missed it.

3. I wonder who OKed the

chimp moments being slipped in there. Doesn't sound like something NBC would normally do. If they are finally showing what a buffoon he is, they are clearly paying attention to his poll numbers and not worried about negative viewer reaction.

5. It was a throw away show

It couldn't have cost them much to produce (there was no actual host just a voice over) and they put it on in prime time and all the ad sales are pure profit basically.

Some pretty funny stuff.

8. You know the right will claim this moment as a prime example

liberal bias.

6. Did you mean TV mogul Dick Clark, or former NSC official Dick Clarke?
