Bush cameo sinks ‘Deal or No Deal.’
Bush cameo sinks ‘Deal or No Deal.’

On Monday, President Bush made a videotaped cameo to NBC’s “Deal or No Deal” game show, joking, “I’m thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days.” Ironically, the New York Post reports that Bush’s appearance was a deal-breaker, “tying the show’s worst-ever Monday-night performance.” Monday’s show had approximately 10 million viewers, “down 27 percent from its season average.” Watch Bush’s performance here:

1. LOL
Maybe some scientist could refine that Bush magnetism to kill tumors. Or maybe put his face on evry alcohol container to stop alcoholism.

5. Maybe it will be driven from the TV lineup
and replaced with something of quality.

6. Cable TV Buries The Manchild These Days
Notice the last time boooshie boy was on during prime time? Or even a fluff piece or soundbite on the evening news. You can't find it. The cables are hard-pressed to carry the photo-ops and "speeches" he gives during the daytime. At one point, they couldn't get their fill of his assholiness...codpiece and all...but today, he's all but invisible.

The coverage you do see of him is on the comedy shows...where his hard-earned and deserved image of a dumb, selfish baffoon is going stronger than ever. The turd has become a national embarassment, but instead of examining why and what this war criminal has done to this country, the corporate media would rather ignore him. Call it the "boooosh legacy".

8. And his appearance jinxed the poor guy...

...who was competing. I watched a bit of that episode and by the time I tuned in the guy had knocked out most of the suitcases with high dollar amounts. I think he was down to one large-dollar-amount case that was worth $750,000 and he was trying to avoid picking that case.

He picked it.

I had to turn it off after that.
