Bush Lampoons Self at Press Corp Dinner
President Bush Invites Lookalike Sidekick to Poke Fun at Self During Correspondents Dinner

By ELIZABETH WHITE

WASHINGTON Apr 29, 2006 (AP)— It was twice the fun for members of the White House Correspondents' Association and guests Saturday night when President Bush and a look-alike, sound-alike sidekick poked fun at the president and fellow politicians.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel chipper tonight. I survived the White House shake-up," the president said.

But impersonator Steve Bridges stole many of the best lines. Vice President Dick Cheney and his hunting accident was the target of his humor on a couple of occasions.

"Speaking of suspects, where is the great white hunter," Bridges said, later adding. "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."

Bush continued a tradition begun by President Calvin Coolidge in attending the correspondents' dinner.

He invited Bridges to play his double. The president talked to the press in polite, friendly terms. Bridges told them what the president was really thinking.

Bridges opened like this: "The media really ticks me off the way they try to embarrass me by not editing what I say. Well let's things going, or I'll never get to be.

Why not? It's a good show from any perspective. And his favourite movie is also one of mine; Firestarter.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss
