Commander in Disbelief
President Bush angered by high ratings for ‘fake girl president.’

Nov. 1, 2005 - "Commander in Chief" is one of the biggest hits of the fall TV season, but not with President George W. Bush, who today challenged its star, Geena Davis, to a nationally televised debate.



Davis, who plays the first female president of the United States in the series, has seen her ratings rise while Bush's approval ratings have plummeted, apparently drawing the ire of the actual president.

"The president is obsessed with Geena Davis," one White House aide said today. "The other day in a cabinet meeting he pounded his fist on the table and said, 'I'm not going to be outdone by a fake girl president.'"

The aide added, "It drives him nuts that she doesn't have problems like Scooter to deal with."

According to Bush's challenge, issued today, he and Davis would square off in three nationally televised debates on the subjects of economics, domestic policy and foreign policy.

"Her writers can write her a script, and mine will write me a script," the president said. "May the best script win."

But Davis appeared to decline the president's request today, issuing a statement through a network spokesman indicating that she could not participate because she has "important work to do."

Attempting to change her mind, Bush said today he was willing to debate the fictitious president on a complete range of fictitious issues, such as Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

Elsewhere, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan said that he would step down in 2006, saying that he wanted to spend more time making indecipherable remarks to his family.





bush has time for this ??? (with ALL the problems he got himself into???) :roll:

I've not seen this Geena Davis show, but I have heard it suggested that it may inadvertently help Hillary Clinton to get elected. 8)

....I woulden't mind seeing a female president...but I sure do not support Hillary Clinton...I am watching her right now on tv at the Rosa Parks funeral and she seems like she is talking down to everybody....she just dosen't have the charisma of a real leader......she like the mean 5th grade teacher...lol

.....maybe she will go up against another women and that would be something woulden't it.....I am eager to see who the Republican candidate will be in 2008.....and democrat candidate.

....however I will probably support the candidate who has the strongest vision on the economy...first and foremost.....actually I think that by 2008 the economy will be front and center in top issues to debate.

From what I know of Geena Davis, she is a member of MENSA with an IQ of 140, on August 21, 1999, placed 24th out of 28 semi-finalists for the United States Olympic Archery Team, and possess a physical beauty that (wiping away drool) you can judge for yourself.

I suggest that Ms Davis take Ps Bush at his word, provided the winner gets three free shots with a bow and arrow, at the loser.

Did anyone see Bush doing his scripted off-the-cuff talk with the miliary's PR flaks in Iraq. He couldn't even put together a coherent question when it was on a piece of paper in front of him. Even with Cheney's hand in his back, W will be eaten alive by Geena Davis.

Actually, are we sure this isn't an Onion article?

Well, it started off believably enough - I can see how Bush may have trouble distinguishing between fiction and reality - but I'd say it has more than the whiff of spoof about it.

It amused me, though. :lol:

Ouch! Poor Georgie must be knee deep in a bottle of Whiskey after hearing that :lol: :lol:

I think she should do it... and make sure that there is radio interference so Bush can't get his answers provided remotely like he did in those other 'real' debates.

Commander in Chief: Hollywood Love Fest with Hillary Clinton
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By JB Williams
Sep 27, 2005

NBC successfully designed and launched a prime time series titled West Wing geared to provide an escape for millions of hardened socialist liberals jonesing for a Clintonesque ideology fix in the post-Bush election era.

ABC now ups the ante with a new series Commander-in-Chief designed to prepare the American psyche for our first female President, Hillary Clinton in 2008. The show is scheduled to premier this evening and the American people are supposed to fall head-over-heals in love with Geena Davis, as our nations first Commander-in-Chief.

When asked about the coincidence of the timing by The Village Voice, script-writer Steve Cohen responded "I have no doubt she is capable, qualified, and ready to be the president of the United States should she choose to run," speaking of Hillary I guess?

When I heard about this series in production months ago, I suspected that there might be more to the timing and story line than the typical Hollyweird love-fest with the Clintons. I was right, there is much more to it…

The Village Voice reports "Writer Steve Cohen used to work for her in the 1990s, serving as the then-first lady's deputy communications director." Newsmax reports, “in fact, Mr. Cohen goes all the way back with the Clintons to their very first presidential campaign. In fact, Cohen is so tight with Hillary's top brass that he once shared an apartment with the top Democrat's chief fundraising coordinator, Patti Solis Doyle. In an interview with Newsweek in 1992, Cohen marveled at the exalted positions he and Doyle had achieved.”

“Commander in Chief" creator Rod Lurie tells The Voice that “he modeled his female president not on Hillary, but on Susan Lyne, the former head of ABC who now runs the Martha Stewart empire.”

However former Hillary deputy communications director turned Hollywood screen-writer Steve Cohen, who referred to Hillary as “potentially the next President of the United States”, say’s "We support the notion of a female president from either side of the aisle."

Ideally, the American people will be unaware or unconcerned with the tight relationship between ABC brass behind the new series and their obvious choice for our next President. But even if the American people know the connections between this show and the impending Hillary bid for the White House, many American’s are accustomed to taking their marching orders from Hollyweird folks already.

Hell, I love Geena Davis! But not even Michael Moore, Steven Spielberg, Sean Penn and Barbara Streisand combined can make a Geena Davis out of a Hillary Clinton. Can they? Talk about trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear…

Keeping with the modern liberal tradition of subliminal socialist indoctrination via the electronic genius in every living room across America, Commander-in-Chief seeks to accomplish more than prime time entertainment.

If the American people embrace Geena Davis as a TV Commander-in-Chief, I’ll give them credit for knowing a hot Hollywood starlet when they see one. But if they fall for the overt attempt to “pre-empt” a Hillary run in 2008 by such means, they will have only proven why the founders believed that only men smart enough to be land owners should have a right to vote.

Commander-in-Chief seeks to connect Hillary with all those “soccer-moms” that voted her perverted husband into the oral office, twice. If anyone can do it, Hollyweird can. Wait till you see Geena and Hillary soon campaigning together on a stump near you!

Which is the test of all good satire.

According to his bio:

Andy Borowitz is a political humorist, TV commentator and the man behind the news parody website borowitzreport.com.

Borowitz, a Cleveland native, created the smash TV comedy The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, appears on CNN's American Morning and NPR's Morning Edition and writes for The New Yorker and The New York Times.

His latest book is The Borowitz Report: The Big Book of Shockers. His previous book, the hilarious, The CEO's Guide to Surviving Prison sent him on a moral and ethics speaking tour throughout the Ivy League business school circuit.

The story Ocean posted is today’s (Nov. 2, 1005) Borowitz Report.

Alternately, Mr William's American Daily bio:

“JB Williams is a business man, a husband, a father, and a writer . . . has a degree in BS from the school of hard knocks, and a uniquely entertaining way of helping even the most liberal among us, to discover the obvious. . . He is published nationwide and in many countries around the globe, and is currently working on a book. . . ”

I take exception to that ‘sow’s ear’ remark.

In any battle of wits, I would far rather be paired with Ms Davis, than Mr. Williams. Even if my IQ doesn’t match Ms Davis’, at least I’m not a complete cod’s head.

RE: Bush Challenges Femal

I do not watch Commander in Chief but it has been in the top 10 quite often so obviously there is a market for it.

Maybe it is a precursor to Hilary running and maybe winning? I dunno, but I think America is ready for a female president in real life though. Hard to believe a female president would be a first in America though.

Wow, I haven't heard that much paranoia since I picked up a really weird hitchhiker.

What's this "Hollyweird" crap though? Have they forgotten that their now-dead hero, Droolin' Ronnie Rayguns, was an actor? Not only that, but he was a worse actor than anybody these guys ever go after.

And "subliminal socialist indoctrination?" It was the right who insisted, on behalf of the advertising lobby, that subliminal ads didn't exist and wouldn't work if they did exist.
