Bush Is The New Maxwell Smart!!

[PoconoPragmatist]

By John Farmer, syndicated columnist

Just about everybody has someone George W. Bush whom calls to mind, a lookalike or someone with similar characteristics, a figure from the movies or the stage or sports. I've had the sense for some time that I've seen Bush before, in another incarnation, as it were. Now it's come to me. I know just the guy.

Bush is another Maxwell Smart.

You remember Max. He was the ditzy star of the 1960s comedy "Get Smart," a lovable bungler, a klutzy American intelligence agent out to save the world by searching out bad guys but who, in reality, couldn't track an elephant in the snow. Never thought we'd see his like again. Then along came Bush.

The similarities are remarkable. There's the clumsiness with words and facts, for example. In Max's case, it came out with one of his regular lines -- "Would you believe ...?" -- when he was caught in a glaring misstatement, such as his assertion that he could break eight boards with one karate chop, a claim scoffed at by everyone, including his "chief."

"Would you believe six boards?" Max asks. "No? Would you believe three boards? How about a loaf of bread?"

In the Bush version, it comes out this way: "Would you believe weapons of mass destruction? No? Would you believe we'll be received as liberators? How about the insurgents are in their last throes?"

1. Bush is not lovable.

If "Maxwell Smart" was based on Bush it would have been canceled in the middle of the first season.

4. plus he has mental issues, drug and alcohol abuse for many

years, he needs medical intervention, could we have a some sort of Psychology and Psychiatric forum on the national stage to explain this disorder. I would love PBS to do something like this.

6. Max was incompetent , but was not cruel.

2. One difference: Bush has been conked on the head by the

Cone of Silence a few too many times. What few brain cells were there are now damaged.

Plus, Don Addams was better looking. ;)

3. Funny, but I'm totally offended on behalf of Max. He was well intentioned and lovable. * is

neither... Oh yeah, and Laura the pot dealer is no "agent 99". What was her real name? Barbar something or other?

Don't get me wrong, I love the thought of bush and cheney in the cone of silence.

9. Barbara Feldon.

Plus, in the end, Max wasn't really a coward like Bush, was he?

7. I guess the chief would be Cheney?

Who would be the Craw?

8. I'd rather imagine steve carrell. n/t

10. Steve Carrell would make a much better president than Bush.

LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[corkhead]

11. He's the new Clyde. Cheney is played by Clint Eastwood...

[lutefisk]

12. Bush "seems a nice guy who, like Max, just got in over his head" Oh, Please!!!

Max bravely put his life on the line for his country without complaint or looking for any recognition.

Bush is a cowardly, whiny asshole who requires others to sacrifice for HIM, wanting all the recognition for himself.

If only Bush were a fictional character!

[PoconoPragmatist]

18. Yup.

If only Bush WERE a fictional character!!
Best comeback yet.

13. More like Maxwell Stupid.

14. It's not that often you see *Bush* and *smart* in the same sentence.

And there is a reason for that.

[PoconoPragmatist]

19. Goddamit!!

I just got soda all over my monitor!! Thanks a lot, asshole!! :P :P :P :P

You just hit the fucking prize winner - I'll present it to you, if I can ever stop choking!!!

17. I don't know...Bush still reminds me the most of Frank Burns
