Who do you think was/is the most humorous President of the United States?

Personally, I think Ronald Reagan takes the cake on this one. He always had something witty and charming to add, whether it was meant to lighten up the conversation, or give us all a quick giggle.

I thought it was the Japanese Prime Minister...

Anyway, funniest president intentionally? Reagan; he had a great sense of humor. Funniest president unintentionally? G.W. His most recent brick of comic gold? "Justice should be fair."

Heck, who needs a President when you can single out an ideologue?

Noam Chomsky... Or Al Franken. They're both off-the-wall, and they're both oogly. OK; Michael Moore too.

Well, you've convinced me. I'll throw out a President - Bill Clinton. Why?

"I did not have sex with that woman"

Although now that I think about it, liberals in general are pretty funny as well; with thinking they have credibility and whatnot.

Lol. You're wrong...it's Chester Alan Arthur! Seriously I was born at the beginning of GHW Bush's tenure in '89, so the only two I can remember are Clinton and Gee Dub.

Iran Contra was perpetrated by Republicans.

Abu Ghraib was covered up by Republicans.
THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT LIBERAL AFFAIRS

I see, I see. So basically what you're saying is that 95% of the world is liberal because 95% of the world is to the left of you. Maybe you should take into consideration that when I say 'conservative' I mean what the vast, vast majority of people consider to be 'conservative'. I'm sorry if I left out you guys over there on the fringes of extreme conservatism.

Well the ZOG needs to make itself look democratic, so it invents "political parties" such as the Republican and the Democrats. The Jewish media tells the people "Rush Limbaugh is so conservative... Michael Moore is so liberal." And the fools fall before them. Republican equals not Conservative.

George W. Bush churns out pure comic gold when he speaks. Remember when he asked the president of Brazil, "Do you have blacks, too?" Oh, oh, and that time he said, "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we"? Pure gold. Pure, pure gold.

Don't you think it's convenient that EVERYONE in NationStates gangs up on you? Is it because we're all fooled by the media, or maybe it's because *gasp*--you're the fool?! You claim to be the only sane one here, and that must be so, because nobody else thinks so.

Damn, not another guy who thinks Jewish people and Zionists are bad, evil people! Let me tell you, I have very nice Jewish friends, and they are not scheming, conniving people who try to get people to follow them.

Bringing up the Zionists is totally uncalled for. All being a Zionist means is that you support the idea of a country based on Jewish law in the area the Bible designates to be the promised land.

Thanks dude, you ruined my mood. 'The Jewish media?' You're on your way to becoming the funniest person in this thread! Today there are very few moderates (Thank goodness for John McCain), but most Republicans are conservatives.

Jimmy Carter...c'mon, you know he had to think that blaming the American public for the general state of malaise (his choice of words,) was a smart way to get re-elected. And what about the vicious attack rabbit incident? Hi-la-rious.

And, he has become a huge comedian ever since staining the presidency...only a comedian would proclaim the completely recall election results in Venezuela, a fair and clean election. And only a comedy genius would think the American public would vote en-masse for Jean Francois Kerry after seeing Michael "Jabba" Moore sharing a presidential suite with him (Carter) during the convention.

I think Al Gore deserves a special mention in the "Could've been, Would've been, let's all thank God Almighty he never was" category, due to his sheer nuttiness ever since Nov 7 2000. He shares this special mention with Howard "Yeaaaaaaargh" Dean.

Jean Francois Kerry gets another special mention in this category, due to whoppers such as (but not limited to) "I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it," and the ever-popular line about the foreign leaders telling him they wanted him to win the election.

I'm guessing you didn't hear the whole story...here goes:
There were two versions of the bill to send more armor to the troops. One mostly supported by the GOP, and one mostly supported by Democrats. Kerry voted FOR the Dem's version, but it was rejected. When it was time to vote on the GOP version, Kerry voted AGAINST it. Just think for a second--you can't vote twice on the same bill anyway!

in truth i think it was the nato wargames immediately after that comment that the russians were really afraid the us was going to attack, but the comment along with his evil empire rhetoric really had some of their analyists convinced they us was going to launch a preemptive strike. luckily they weren't convinced enough to try to beat the us to the punch.

Totally inaccurate ... like TOTALLY! There were no "Republican" or "Democratic" versions of the bill, the amoral opportunist first voted for the overall bill authorizing troop-support equipment, such as body armor, then voted against the bill allocating funds for same.
