Who says you can't you have fun during a Presidential campaign?

Kerry Does ‘Top Ten’ on Letterman Show

Somehow I have a difficult time seeing George W. Bush agreeing to do something like this. Given that Bush and his handlers like to project an image of serious, buttoned-down gravitas, doing something that even remotely smacks of being unscripted, off-the-kuff, or overtly satirical is no doubt anathema to the current occupant of the White House. It’s too bad, really; it would be nice to see if the guy actually has anything resembling a sense of humor.

Kerry’s “Top 10 Bush Tax Proposals” are:

10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. presidents.

9. W-2 Form is now Dubya-2 Form.

8. Under the simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.

7. The reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it just makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.

6. Attorney General (John) Ashcroft gets to write off the entire U.S. Constitution.

5. Texas Rangers can take a business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.

4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa (Heinz Kerry) to cover the whole damn thing.

3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent.

2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it “nuclear” instead of “nucular.”

1. George W. Bush gets a deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

Yeah, liked you could ever even THINK that you’d see George W. Bush on “Live with Regis and Kelly”. That probably wouldn’t reflect well on the Imperial Presidency, would it?
