"We were talking a
little bit about the president's trip to the Middle East. The president's going
to give himself a chance to do all the things that he always wanted to do. So
please welcome another installment of [on screen: 'Bush's Bucket List']. The
president's Middle East trip is at an end, but the memories he'll have, the
things he got to cross off the list.
He reconnected with old friends. He
danced. He watched people dance. He held a bird. He sold over $20 billion in
arms to an unstable region. And on the last night of his trip, there was still
one thing left undone. One thing he desperately wanted to do -- to conduct an
incredibly awkward interview with ABC's Terry Moran.
Well, guess what?
Sometimes wishes come true [on screen: Bush saying, 'What am I supposed to do?
Go in the fetal position because of your poll?']. Obviously, the president is
not afraid of Terry Moran's poll. But what would the president do there in
Saudi Arabia when the conversation turned to oil? [on screen: Asked what he can
say to the king to get the high oil prices down, Bush, 'Well, I will say to him
that if it's possible, your majesty, consider what high prices is doing to one
of your largest customers'].
How did the 'wanted dead or alive' requests guy
turn into Woody Allen all of a sudden? Watch how Bush handles Moran's follow-up
[on screen: Asked if he thinks Americans might want him to be a little tougher
than that, Bush, 'What's that mean?'] What's that mean? What you did right
there! You just scared the crap out of Terry Moran!" --Jon Stewart
