Over the weekend HBO had a special live showing of Will Ferrel's smash hit Broadway show in titled "Your Welcome America A Final Night With George W. Bush." The comedic icon plays the former president George W. Bush. Anyone who has a sense of humor and watches SNL knows the hilarious Bush impression that Ferrel does. Ferrel's impression might not be as spot on as the so called funny man frank caliendo (hes not funny). However, the "Anchorman" star puts his own little spin on the ex commander and chief that is utterly irresistible. He creates this character in Bush that enables the audience to see him as this over privileged dim wit who always has a good time due to some form of blind confidence. Complete with the Texas accent and infamous glare Ferrel's Bush is so funny that it is difficult to know where will Ferrel ends and George Bush begins. I enjoyed this progrom not only because I am a huge fan of the comedian, but also because it gives me faith in America. Many people take for granted all of the freedoms we have concerning free speech. A person could not get away with making fun of a government official on this grand a scale in some other countries. So I know this is a tough time for many Americans, but just keep solace in the fact that we are still allowed to enjoy great shows like "Your Welcome America."
