The White House Christmas Video Is Insane

The annual White House Christmas Video came out on Monday, and I've been avoiding it since then because it's the annual White House Christmas Video. But I was wrong, and I apologize. This thing is fucking nuts.

President Bush: Where is my crack pipe? I know I left it around here somewhere.
Laura Bush: It doesn't matter, George, I smoked all the crack in it already.
Barney: I run this bitch.
Barbara Bush: Crack doesn't affect me, because I'm a robot!
Jenna Bush: I'm married!
Michael Phelps: Gold medals. Olympics. Swimming. Pancakes.
Barbara Bush: Oh look, Michael Phelps is a robot, too.
Michael Phelps: Olympics. China. Swimming. Gold Medals.
President Bush: Laura, I thought we agreed that whoever finished the crack was in charge of buying more crack.
Laura Bush: You're right. I'm sorry dear. It's just hard to remember things when you're so consumed by the constant terror of having killed someone with your car.

And scene.

Leave it to white trash from Texas to have such hideous decorations. (i totally went there).

Seriously, I've seen some similar shit piled on some houses over here in Dallas. Just tragic.

The money used to make this video could have saved a starving child in Africa.

No way. That crappy video probably cost $10. There is more production value and better acting in a High School drama.

C'mon Bush! You're the freakin' President of the US! You couldn't tap FOX "News" to get some help making that video?

Who was the pretty girl who called herself a champion? I presume she was an olympian, but I don't know who she was specifically.

You guys, I think when you talk to a dog, you're suddenly super stoned. It's a theory worth testing.

scariest part: jenna's voice is EXACTLY like her mom's.
best part: olympic medalists should stick to medaling not acting.

pro-tip: want to decorate your house for christmas? get a dog to walk past it, and you're golden.

i love how Laura Bush refers to her OWN HUSBAND as "President Bush" at the end. i bet he makes her call him that, like he gets all bitchy and pretends not to hear her if she calls him "George" or "Georgie" or "Dumbass". also if Barack Obama REALLY wants to reach across the aisle, he'll appoint Barney the Secretary of Being Too Fucking Adorable For Words.

Damn, what was that bullshit at the beginning where the two dogs got to sit on the sofa, but the two daughters had to sit on the floor?

Republicans!

I always love these, they're always about Barney and Mrs. Beasley. I hope the puppy that Obama got Joe Biden makes videos this funny.

Seriously, I wish Bush wouldn't of war crimed so many people so I could look back on this kind of thing with happy nostalgia.
