Bush

 

Hello, I'm Bill Hicks, and I'm standing at one of the foot of one of the halls of justice of our great country. You know, when the producers of this video asked me to discuss my opinions on the George Bush administration, I was struck by the very cynical thought, 'What is the fucking point? People still love Ronald Reagan.' After eight years of lies and hypocrisy, people love this guy. Leads me to a very disturbing question: how far up your ass does this guy's dick have to be before you realize he's fucking ya? Ha, people are just, 'I like Ronald Reagan. He looks good on TV, he made the country stronger, patriotism's at an all-time high. Hold on a minute, something's slappin' my ass. Hey, he's fuckin' us! 'What's the point of George Bush? Reaganlite. No one cares that he was the ex-head of the CIA, now elected president. The CIA - political assassinations, overthrowing governments, death squads, drug-running. Let's give them more power! Let's put em in the White House! No one cares that George Bush's first two executive decisions were to name a vice-president who's whiter than Arsenio Hall. I guess you could commission Ted Turner to colorize Dan Quayle later. Bush's second decision was to name a secretary of defence who would begin every unilateral arms agreements of with 'Hi, I'm John and I'm an alcoholic.' Now, people love him. What is the point? People are already saying, 'I like George Bush. He looks good on TV, he brought back family values, he's fighthing the war on drugs. Wait a minute, something's slappin my ass. Hey! He's fuckin' us!'
