Apparently unaware that raw sweet corn is generally fed only to livestock, George ripped open an ear and dug in. But Bushie one-upped all the panderers in August 2004 when he took a campaign swing through Davenport, Iowa and stopped to marvel at their beautiful sweet corn. One of the shear joys of American politics is observing the quadrennial rite of presidential candidate trekking out to Iowa to seduce those cornfed voters the only way they know how - by chowing down on their food. And unfortunately for America, the cameras were there at this G-8 meeting in 2006 to catch George artfully explaining the Bush doctrine to Tony Blair…while cursing up a storm…with his mouth full. The poor guy ran for President in 1999, how was he supposed to know some geeks were about to invent a magical program called YouTube that would record and broadcast his every awkward move and stupid sentence for the next eight years? Well unfortunately for him, they did. When you think about it, you can’t really blame George Bush for all his gaffes. “We gotta get Hezbollah to stop doin’ this shit…are you gonna eat that?” Washington Post reporters uncovered the truth: the glossy turkey was just for show, rigged up for the prez - by who else? an overpaid government contractor - and our brave men and women in uniform were actually served cafeteria-style slop.

I never thought the day would come when I’d say this, but as a writer always eager for an easy target - Dubya, I’m gonna miss ya. The choking, the burping, the eating with his mouth full, it’s been quite a presidency. To honor that spirit, we’re taking a fond look back at the Top 10 All-Time George W. is just as eager as the rest of us for his last day in office to come, in a recent intimate interview, Bush admitted there is one thing he’ll miss about leaving the White House: The free food. G.Īnd while it’s been apparent for some time now that W. I’ve been as guilty as anyone of getting caught up in all the hype surrounding our leader/savior/superhero, but it’s just occurred to me that while we’ve all been focused on how freaking unbelievable and amazing it is that Barack Obama is actually going to be President in ONE DAY, we’ve completely overlooked another monumental milestone: As of tomorrow, George W. Obama is set to be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States this week (it’s kind of flown under the radar). As you may or may not have heard, Barack H. ![]()
