Bush Plays Straight Man to His Lookalike

Elizabeth White of the Associated Press reports in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on an appearance by President Bush at last night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident were targets of his humor on a couple of occasions.

"Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter?" Bridges said, later adding, "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."

Update: Editor & Publisher reports on the later appearance by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report.

He attacked those in the press who claim that the shake-up at the White House was merely re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. "This administration is soaring, not sinking," he said. "If anything, they are re-arranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."
