Poll question: Greatest American President/Actor
Okay, we know that St. Raygun was an actor and I truly believe that it was his acting ability that made the Amerikuns love him so. He personafied what the masses wanted. He wasn't really a good president, but he did put on a good act.

Now we see that the weed-that-would-be-king can cry on cue! We know he likes his costumes, remember Mission Accomplished and the flight suit, remember all those nifty jackets he wears when with the military (I think Michael Jackson's tailor makes them for him).

So, who do you think is the better actor?

1. Reagan
The only reason Bushie gets away with it, is because of the worthless "media".

3. You know Hitler used to act out his mannerisms in the mirror .... too ...
gesticulations, expressions, body language, hand movements etc... etc... like a good performer. He had a personal photographer take pictures of him in private to study his own movements. I'm just saying....... :shrug: peace. :)

10. Oh I'll bet I do ...... somewhere ......
put away in two 10X15 foot sheds stacked to the roofs !!! :) ... see my Dad never got rid of ANYTHING .... he passed away about two years ago, and me and my nephew finally got the Garage at my moms cleared out. :) The sheds are next. It will probably take a year each !!! LOL ... anyway my mom lives about 100 miles up the road from me. I'll look into it, but would probably be quicker if I just did a google search on some Hitler Photo's over the Internet to see what's out there. I'll bookmark this and get back to you. Peace. :hi:

5. Both are narrowminded, immoral, unethical, and evil.
A lesser evil is still evil.

13. Ronald Reagan gave a really brilliant performance in "Kings Row,"
a sort of low-budget The Magnificent Ambersons. So he could do it if he was directed correctly.

17. Makes sense.
I did notice that their public appearances decreased after Jim Henson died, I thought that st ronnie was a muppet -

But Nancy as the director makes sense. :crazy:

18. Not only does Boosh know about wardrobe, he also knows about props.



Remember that bogus turkey he carried around on a platter in the chow hall just for a photo op? The phony SOB.

19. I had forgotten about the plastic turkey.
He has used so many gimmicks and tricks that would have forced another out of office, if we had an honest media. :argh:
