The thing is, Stewart doesn't even really need to do anything to most of the Bush clips. The jokes write themselves- or would, if Bush wasn't such a joke to begin with.
What did he think about meeting the president of the EU?
In terms of your Prime Minister, he's an interesting guy. He's a lot of fun to be around. He promotes serious business in a way that endears himself to people. And so I think his presidency has been an important presidency for the EU during difficult times, and he's handled it well. And I was going to say he's a piece of work, but that might not translate too well. Is that all right, if I call you a piece of work?
And of course, while Bush was uttering this perfectly assinine little nugget of backhanded, faux-hayseed cultural ignorance, the EU president did that classic face that all foreign politicians get around Bush. That face that says: "I am completely disgusted and terrified at the same time. This idiot man-child has the last say in the most heavily armed and wealthiest nation on the planet. How did this guy make it through the airport, much less four and a half years of a presidency?"

Funniest stuff I have read and seen all day!
That's kinda sad in a way...

GWB=moral fuckwit
haaaaaa, i'm freaking laughin' my head off all the way over here in asia.
It'd be funnier if it weren't so dead-on accurate. The only way I keep from being terrified is to ignore it most of the time. And did I tell you I drink and smoke? That helps a little, too.
Don't forget this classic:
