George W. Bush continues to be poked fun at; as last nights' Saturday Night Live (SNL) mocked the way the Republican Party kept Bush far away from the McCain / Palin presidential campaign. 
  
Will Ferrell playing Bush opened the skit by endorsing Sarah Palin and John McCain, though only Palin played by Tina Fey could be found. A Palin look alike Fey admits to being busy 'traveling around this great country' and 'doing a little shopping', though her running mate McCain went missing, soon after hearing Bush's endorsement of the pair, 'last seen traveling on foot through the Adirondacks'. 
  
Bush had the audience rolling in the aisles when he tells Palin how important the Vice President's job is as he / she gets to decide 'when we go to war, how we tax the citizens and how we interpret the constitution. The president can do nothing without checking with the vice president'. 
  
Cutting Bush short, Palin stuns him with '…..but I think it's actually the other way around. I think the vice president reports to the president'. To which a stunned Bush responds: 'Really? That's not what Dick Cheney told me when he sat me down on the first day.' 
  
Ferrell's impersonation as President George W. Bush offering of his political 'strategy' to Tina Fey's Sarah Palin, is one of the two most popular political impersonations on SNL history. The other being Amy Poehler's Hillary Clinton, Dana Carvey's George H.W. Bush, and Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford.
