On Letterman, Robin Williams Cracks Bush Was 'Cute' Like a Drunk Uncle Making a Mess in the Jacuzzi
Appearing as a guest on Thursday's The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS, comedian Robin Williams took some shots at GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, and ended up bringing up former President Bush, comparing him to a drunk uncle who "took a dump in the jacuzzi."
After making cracks about Romney sometimes not knowing the right thing to say at campaign events, he brought up Bush. Williams:
Or like somebody's feeding him a line. It used to be like with W., you'd think that someone was going, "Move your arm, move your arm." "Hi, nice to see you."
Host Letterman condescended that Bush was "our cutest President ever":
DAVID LETTERMAN: I miss George W.
ROBIN WILLIAMS: Oh, yeah.
LETTERMAN: I think he was our cutest, our cutest President ever.
WILLIAMS: Yeah, I think he -- the cutest?
LETTERMAN: Yes, I think he was our cutest President.
Williams went on to further lambast the former President:
WILLIAMS: Shoot, in kind of a, in kind of a, "Hey, what the hell?" kind of way.
LETTERMAN: That's right. I think he-
WILLIAMS: Kind of like your uncle who drinks a lot going, "Uncle Bob, he just took a dump in the jacuzzi. He's cute that way!"

I think you could group everyone in the world into two categories concerning him. I'm in the camp that has never found him to be funny, but incredibly annoying.
I'd say he's like the meth head nephew that you can't allow in your house because he'll steal everything you have.
As usual, liberals keep it

BO is failing miserably so lets focus on George W. Bush.
Anything to avoid talking

Anything to avoid talking about this:
Feds' [that means the Obama administration] favorability at 15-year low
White guilt

I'd say Williams (and Letterman) have a large portion of the above.
Me? I don't feel at all guilty for what somebody else did or does.
Robin Williams is cute

In a "$6.7 million lawsuit for transmitting herpes" to a partner sort of way.
You can clean up that jaccuzi, but Williams delivered the gift that just keeps on giving.

He just got out of rehab for the millionth time. He was doing speedballs with Belushi the night he died. What a legacy!

He has this George Carlin/Whoppi Goldberg conceit that their comic ability/sense/talent endows them with some deep insight into the human condition. Some how cheap shot one liners=deep thought.
Prime Example: At the same time he destroyed his marriage by fornicating with his son's nanny, he would regularly wax poetic and oh so sensitive, about how much he loved his son.
The reality being, the most painful thing you can do to your child is betray his mother and break up his home.
It is hard for me to imagine a more selfish act than forcing your child to live in a broken home having to go back and forth between parents because you wanted to satisfy some momentary sexual desire.
Also, if he and Dan Acroyd could have intervened in the days/ hours before John Belusih's death, but neither did a thing,neither lifted a finger to challenge or stop his self destructiveness. (not hip to be judgmental when it comes to drugs, only when it comes to conservative politics)
Every interview I ever see with Mr. Williams, at some point he always makes some ugly stupid slanderous remark about what ever Republican is the left's current whipping boy and then offers up some trite piece of "wisdom", posing as this sensitive sage. Sure Robin tell that to your ex-wife or the woman you are currently cheating on.
