GEORGE BUSH IS BEING INTERVIEWED.

INTERVIEWER

So President Bush now you're retiring as America's most brainless president since Lincoln got shot in the head. What will you do with your time?

GEORGE

I'm gonna start a business by golly and it's all thanks to Iraq.

INTERVIEWER.

Mercenary, demolition specialist, especially scary Circus clown?

GEORGE

Naw, watch this. (SHOUTS OFF STAGE) hey Iraq, how you all doing?

A HAIL OF SHOES ARE THROWN AT HIM.

GEORGE

I'm gonna be a second shoe sales man. Reckon they got nice shoes in Pakistan, France, New Orleans...

INTERVIEWER HITS HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A SHOE ALA BENNY HILL.

INTERVIEWER

How's the London shoe suit you?

There must be mileage in a George Bush meets an undercover journalist who happens to be Imelda Marcos type gag.

Well go write that sketch Mr!

Well go write that sketch Mr!

I'll try. You are good at topical humour though, I'm a virgin in that area.

Or Imelda Marcos as his new bodyguard?

Or Heather Mills assassinates him by pegging her whole leg at him?

Or Imelda Marcos as his new bodyguard?

Like that one

Made me chuckle. Any mileage in the fact that only one shoe would be thrown at first? So the ending could be:

GEORGE
I'm gonna be a second shoe sales man. Reckon they got nice shoes in Pakistan, France.

INTERVIEWER
So.....

GEORGE
Hold on, there's no market in second hand single shoes. (TO CROWD) Hey, y'all what's your beef !?

A SECOND BATCH OF SHOES HAIL IN

GEORGE
Heh, heh. Not just a pretty face am I.

Or somin like that.

The whole shoe thing is definitly a gift, and there is some really funny angle \ sketch waiting to be written somewhere (sadly not by me).

And by implication not me neither!

Not this one certainly, but I did love the original take.
