The funniest thing I’ve ever seen was Will Farrell’s “You’re Welcome, America.  A Final Night with George Bush.”  The sketches in the play were great, but even more significant, Will Ferrell became George Bush, capturing both his mannerisms and his speech patterns and making his performance less a caricature than a true portrayal of W. I nearly fell off the couch was Ferrell’s Bush dance around the office with “Condolezza Rice.”  When Ferrell’s Bush started creating nicknames for audience members, I was in hysterics.  Ferrell even managed to elicit some sympathy for George W. Bush, something I thought unimaginably since I view Bush as evil incarnate (second only to Dick Cheney).  In any case, Will Farrell’s “You’re Welcome, America.  A Final Night with George Bush” was a laugh riot.
