John Kerry on Letterman

Reads the "Top Ten Bush Tax Proposals". Watch the video here. I'll warn you though, it's pretty toothy. For those of you who still know how to read, here is the list:

Top Ten Bush Tax Proposals:
#10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. Presidents.
#9. W-2 form is now Dubya-2 forms.
#8. Under simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.
#7. Reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.
#6. Attorney General Ashcroft gets to write off U.S. Constitution
#5. Texas Rangers can take business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.
#4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa to cover the whole damn thing
#3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent
#2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it “nuclear” instead of “nucular.”
#1. Bush gets deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

I didn't get to watch the rest of the show...did Kerry do well? These guys do better than most would expect most of the time. Both Bob Dole and Al Gore have had memorable performances on late night TV.

love it, hate it, there's more of it at pacetown.
