This is epic (I LOL'd at Belz doing karate and getting a piggy-back ride!). Belz would also go on to reprise his role as "the President" in the god-awful misogyny and boobs vehicle Species 2! XDD

00:02, look at that crappy drawing goddamn

Reagan wasn't the President then, numbnuts.  Ford was. Jesus.

No, you are the numbnuts. Reagan was governor of California at the time and bidding for the GOP nomination for President. The filmmaker Ken Shapiro HAS SAID that it was a send-up of Reagan. This is a parody - he doesn't have to wait for Reagan to win to poke fun of him and his party in a skit. But I guess you know more about his movie than he does. Fool.

Plus, you didn't even respond to the gist of the thread. "Jesus".

My bad. It was such a poor parody I didn't notice who was the intended target.

You didn't notice because you didn't read the thread before you jumped in with your reply. Your ignorant, off-topic reply. You knew all you needed as soon as someone said something bad about a Republican.

Blind partisanship: attack the film because the filmmaker attacked Reagan. The funniest thing is you think that insulting a film that insults Reagan will somehow insult me, but guess what: I don't pick my likes and dislikes based on what some radio commentator says!

well, he speaks well because he doesn't do with without his teleprompter-someone doesn't need to be a great speaker to be a good leader-though I'm not exactly what you would call a Bush supporter.
As for the "I won" comment-it would have been fine, except that it was a direct reply to the repubs when talking with him about their concerns for tax cuts-it was a coment that he would do as he chose and wouldn't listen to them at all.
Obama is no better than Bush, maybe worse-we'll see.

A good speaker because he doesn't speak without his teleprompter? That's just demonstrably false.

The skit was *actually* about Reagan, and hits the head on GWB. Any similarity with the current pres is purely a creation of blind partisanship: "I know you are but what am I?". You don't have to like him to admit he's NOTHING like the character in the sketch, which is the subject here.

America: one more party than communism; and political discourse that would embarrass a schoolyard bully.

"Blind partisanship". LOL! Good one.
