Okay, that sound made me piss my pants. It just sounded like he was trying to revive a crowd he knew was dying. It's like he was excited, and then stopped abruptly.

Preston and Steve were having callers do imitations this morning of it. Too freaking funny. They had a contest of someone doing it to their mom on the phone to win Chris Rock tickets.

Honestly, I'm crossing my fingers it propels him to Jesse Ventura or Arnold-like proportions, but I'm thinking not. It's all how he deals with it.

Oh if only Bill Clinton could run again...[I'm ready to be flamed.]

I think he did a little more than "show emotion." I kept waiting for him to take off his shoe and pound it on the podium like Kruschev at the UN.

Just because our current president is a boob who literally doesn't know his right hand from his left (I loved that footage) doesn't mean it's OK for our next one to be a raving lunatic. Some decorum would be nice. Isn't there any way Tony Blair can run for president? He says many of the same things Bush does but with far more poise and intelligence.

Or as well-spoken as Homer Simpson.

The Brits hate Tony Blair, but he'd be a fabulous President. Articulate, intelligent, better at diplomacy with Europe, liberal enough to appeal to Democrats but tough enough on terrorism to win over the GOP. Couldn't we arrange a trade? How about Hillary Clinton for Tony Blair? The Brits get rid of a leader they hate and replace him with the anti-Thatcher, Hillary gets to let her socialist impulses run wild, we get a better President than either the GOP or Dems are currently fielding. Cheney can go back to Halliburton. Let Bush be the baseball commissioner and he'll be happy: all he'll ever have to do is watch games and hang out with the corporate fat-cats who own the teams. Bill Clinton can go back to Cambridge, hit on the co-eds, and finally inhale! Everybody wins.

That all sounds good except for the part where shrub is the baseball commisioner. That would be just one more great American institution for him to wreck. How about making him a Wal Mart associate?
