Campaign ’92: The Race To Avoid Being The Guy Who Loses To Bush

Moderator…..Julia Sweeney
Sen. Bill Bradley…..Kevin Nealon
Congressman Dick Gephardt…..Dana Carvey
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen…..Keifer Sutherland
Tipper Gore…..Victoria Jackson
Gov. Mario Cuomo…..Phil Hartman


Moderator: Good evening. I’m Fay Sullivan, of the League of Women Voters. Welcome to this, the first in a series of debates among the five leading Democrats who are trying to avoid being forced by their party into a hopeless race against President George Bush. Most of them have already announced that they’re not interested in the nomination. But each, of course, is under enormous pressure to be the “chump” who will take on the futile task of running against this very, very popular incumbent. They are.. Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey..

Sen. Bill Bradley: I am not a candidate for President in 1992.

Moderator: House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt of Missouri..

Congressman Dick Gephardt: I do not seek my party’s nomination.

Moderator: Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas..

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: I do not wish to be my party’s nominee in the next election.

Moderator: Here for her husband, Sen. Al Gore of Tennessee, Tipper Gore..

Tipper Gore: He’s not interested.

Moderator: And Gov. Mario Cuomo, of New York.

Gov. Mario Cuomo: No way!

Moderator: Gov. Cuomo, let’s begin with you. In a way, one might say there’s no reason for any of you to be forced into this race. After all, there are already several announced candidates for the Democratic nomination – Sen. Kerrey, Sen. Harkin, fomer Gov. Brown, and so on. Why is your party beggin you, or any of you, to enter the race?

Gov. Mario Cuomo: Fay, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you something – if the Democratic Party were to make me its candidate in 1992, it would go down as its worse defeat in history.

Sen. Bill Bradley: Oh, come on, Mario! You’re probably the best candidate we’ve got!

Everyone: Cuomo! Cuomo! Cuomo! Cuomo!

Gov. Mario Cuomo: Please, please! Bill! Now, I resent the implication that I’m the strongest candidate here. Let’s be frank – you’re far better than any of us, or have you forgotten your brilliant play as you led the New York Knicks to victory in the 1973 NBA Finals?

Everyone: Bradley! Bradley! Bradley! Bradley!

Gov. Mario Cuomo: Now, Bill, you could show me polls that have me losing to Bush by 7 points, and I can show you polls that have me losing to Bush by 40 points – that’s not the issue! The issue is my record. After eight years of my mismanagement as governor, the economy of New York State is in a shambles! Now, I don’t think anyone here can point to a record like that.

Congressman Dick Gephardt: Now, wait a minute..

Moderator: Congressman Gephardt?

Everyone: Gephardt! Gephardt! Gephardt! Gephardt!

Congressman Dick Gephardt: Well, hold on! Now, if you wanna talk about shambles, let’s talk about the U.S. House of Representatives, of which I am the Majority Leader. You know, the real enemy facing this country isn’t the Soviets, it isn’t the Japanese – it’s people like me! And the American people know it. The fact is, I couldn’t beat David Duke in Harlem! What this party needs is someone with the vision, the integrity, and the guts of an Al Gore.

Everyone: Gore! Gore! Gore! Gore!

Tipper Gore: That isn’t fair! My husband isn’t here tonight to answer to that kind of smear!

Congressman Dick Gephardt: Then, I have to ask you, if your husband doesn’t think he should be this party’s nominee, why didn’t he bother to show up here tonight?

Tipper Gore: My husband is with our kids at a gay porno theater.

Everyone: Oh, come on! Come on!

Moderator: Gentlemen, please! Sen. Bentsen, we haven’t heard from you yet.

Everyone: Bentsen! Bentsen! Bentsen! Bentsen!

Moderator: Please.. please.. Senator, tell us why Lloyd Bentsen should not be President.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: Oh, Fay, there are so many reasons. But, ultimately, it comes down to one – this election is about ideas. And the fact is, I have none. Nothing, covers empty, nada, not a one! You know, I remind myself of that commercial, “Where’s The Beef?” And that’s the problem with Lloyd Bentsen – where’s the beef?

Sen. Bill Bradley: Uh, may I?

Moderator: Sen. Bradley?

Sen. Bill Bradley: What about me? If Lloyd wants to talk about lack of substance, I say what about me? I’m an ex-jock. End of story. The fact is, Lloyd is one of the finest minds in the Senate! In fact, he reminds many of us of another great democrat – John F. Kennedy.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: Sen Bradley, I knew Jack Kennedy.. I worked with Jack Kennedy.. I am no Jack Kennedy.

Sen. Bill Bradley: Senator, that was uncalled for.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: The fact is, when most people hear the name Lloyd Bentsen, they don’t think of Jack Kennedy; they think of two other fellows – Michael Dukakis and Willie Horton.

Tipper Gore: Lloyd, that is shameless!

Gov. Mario Cuomo: Sen. Bentsen, I resent the suggestion that you are somehow more the candidate of Willie Horton than anyone else here! The fact is, as governor of New York, I have pardoned criminals far worse than Willie Horton! Including key figures in organized crime, who happen top be close friends of mine! Yes! I’m talking about the mob!

Moderator: Well.. gentlemen, Mrs. Gore.. we’ve reached the end of our alotted time. Each of you is now allowed a brief closing statement. Let’s begin with Tipper Gore.

Tipper Gore: Thank you, Fay. I’m a mother of three children, and, like any mother, I want the best possible future for my kids.When I think of a future with my husband as President, frankly, I’m scared. Thank you.

Moderator: Congressman Gephardt?

Congressman Dick Gephardt: There’s a feeling abroad in this land. You can sense it from the textile workers in South Carolina, from machinists in Detroit, and ranchers in Wyoming. The feeling that Dick Gephardt repreents everything that’s wrong with this country. You don’t want me as your president, and neither do I. I want to remain in Congress. After all, that’s where the money is – your money. Thank you.

Moderator: Sen. Bradley?

Sen. Bill Bradley: Well, there are people that will tell you that I can beat George Bush. Why? Because I’m a sports celebrity. But I think you, the American people, are smarter than that. You want a leader you can defend against terrorism, not jump shots; who can make a foreign policy, not an inbound pass; a leader who can run an economy, not a three-man weave. If America ever needs a man in a low post.. perhaps I’m the guy.. but, when it comes to our nation’s highest post, I just don’t cut it. Thank you.

Moderator: And now, Sen. Bentsen.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: I’m old.. and I’m only gonna be getting older. Older and more confused. Hell, I can’t tell you all the names of the people that are standing right here. One thing I can tell you, is that George Bush would beat the living bejebus out of me. He’s done it before, just ask a couple friends of mine – Michael Dukakis and Willie Horton.

Moderator: And, finally, Gov. Cuomo.

Gov. Mario Cuomo: Thank you, Fay. Tonight, we’ve heard a lot about images of perception, about what poll shows what candidate losing by the least to whom at any given time.. Now, I could stand here and talk about the inaccuracy of polling, or the subjective nature of the process – but that’s not the real issue here! The real issue is simple – I.. have.. mob ties!

Moderator: Well, that brings to a close, the first in a series of Democratic Presidential debates. Thank you, all of you, for your participation here tonight. And I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind our viewers at home that democracy works only when you vote. When you don’t take the time to vote for the candidate you find the least offensive, you run the risk of electing the candidate you find the most offensive. Good night.

Weekend Update with Kevin Nealon

…..Kevin Nealon

Announcer: Weekend Update, with Kevin Nealon.

Kevin Nealon: Good evening, I’m Nealon, Kevin, and I’m a recovering dyslexic.

Well in Madrid the Mideast peace talks got off to a bad start this week when one of the delegates refused to shell out the 4 dollars for the headphones.

And another problem developed when Palestinian delegates complained that the Israelis were occupying their seats. In response the Israeli delegates claimed the seats had always belonged to them. A game of musical chairs will be held to settle the dispute.

[picture of Bush and Arab] President Bush is seen here greeting a tricker treater and then pointing him in the direction of a house that gives out Zakorski attack helicopters.Israel will not accept land for peace but will accept land for some really good concert tickets.

President Bush’s Kennebunkport neighbors complained to local police following an all night party in which George and Barbara trashed their house.

This week Louisiana gubernatoral candidate David Duke said that new poll results show him to be in the lead. To celebrate his supports held a fundraiser in New Orleans.

Researchers have theorized that young black men are best suited for long term space travel because of a genetic trait that gives them denser, stronger bones. It was later revealed that this theory was merely a hoax by white supremisis to encourage black men to leave the planet.

JC’s in Memphis have apologized for an exhibit in their annual haunted house exhibit entitled Dead Elvis. The exhibit, featuring a toilet, half eaten jelly donuts and empty pizza boxes has been renamed the Palm Beach Kennedy compound.

And for Halloween Ted Kennedy wore pants and went as a commoner.

Donald Trump’s mother was mugged for $14 this week. Police are looking for this suspect. [sketch of Donald Trump]

A 22,000 pound steel sculpture entitled Hammering Man was twisted and bent when it fell atop a crane that was hoisting it into the Seattle Art Museum this week. The sculpture will now be entitled “twisted and bent when it fell atop a crane that was hoisting a man.”

More mysterious carved patterns and symbols showed up in a Minnesota wheat field. Experts theorized that these markings are the work of an alien sports fan.

Air traffic controllers at Chicago’s Ohare Airport reported hundreds on near mis-incidents recently, when anti-collision alarms on airlines malfunctioned. In an attempt to lessen these incidents, the FAA will require airliners to shorten their wings [picture of airplane with small wings].

An MIT study has concluded that more people die in crashes in planes with more passengers. For instance, in a plane carrying 220 people, 220 people would be killed. As opposed to a plane carrying 15 people where only 15 people would be killed.

A further study reveals your best chance of survival is to fly in an empty plane.

Mother nature has filed harassment charges against father time. She claims every 3 months or so he leaps on top of her while she’s changing seasons… that can happen.

27 people were injured this week after they were told to spring ahead and fall back.

Monoxidil, the hair growing drug sold under the name Rogaine is now being used as a mace substitute. You spray it in the face of the attacker, his eyebrows grow over his eyes, obstructing his vision. Unfortunately the FDA claims it must be used on the attacker religiously twice a day for 6 months in order to see any noticeable effects.

The restaurant Planet Hollywood has been opened in New York by co-owners Arnold Schwarteneggar and Sylvester Stallone. Appropriately the kitchen will specialize mussels, ham and large, slow speaking Italian vegetables.

Well I decided to read Katherine Hepburn’s #1 best seller ‘Me’ this week and unfortunately it’s horrible. She knows nothing about me, totally off, nice try.

According to a recent survey, 70% of this pie chart is yellow while the remaining 30% is blue. [shows pie chart]

On a bright note the 40,000 stolen video cassette copies of Disney’s Fantasia were recovered yesterday in Memphis. A Detroit based distributor was happy to have them back but said 15,000 of those tapes were not rewound.

Because of the success of Heraldo Rivera’s first book listing all the women he has slept with, he says he will write another. This time he says he will list all the women he has thought about while masturbating.

In an upcoming Vanity Fair issue Bette Midler said Heraldo drugged and molested her. Mr. Rivera called these accusations preposterous. True, but preposterous.After all the recent negative criticism, Dr. Kavorkian’s infamous suicide machine killed itself this week. In addition the suicide manual ‘Final Exit’ jumped off the bookshelf and plunged to its’ death.

Stanford University hospital surgeons last week removed a 303 pound cyst from a 34 year old woman. The woman is doing fine and went home yesterday. The cyst is recovering and will go home sometime next week.

[picture of sexy Calvin Klein ad] This ad for Calvin Klein jeans has drawn much critical response from media watchers, consumer groups and concerned citizens. After reading all the mail, I promise I won’t pose for another one.

Kevin Nealon: I’m Kevin Nealon and that’s news to me.

Birth place of the baby back rib, and home to a certain undefeated team, in witch come January will be hosting, hoisting, a certain Super Bowl Trophy over it’s collective head. A team that is known as, DA Bears!

    Together: Da Bears!!

    Todd: (Burp) that’s was me!

    Bob: Very nice, alright, by the way I should mention that Todd, was kind of enough to show up today. Even though earlier this week, he had yet another heart attack.

    Todd: It’s alright Bob; actually this one was really just fibulation. So I just got to limit my Pork intake to Four Hundred grams a day!

    Carl: Yeah it’s Tuff.

    Carl: Yeah well Michael uh, what about the Olympics. You’re representing our country. Isn’t there a concern that these games are a little lop sided?

    Bob: Yeah, why don’t you just play these countries by yourself?

    Todd: Yeah that’s a good idea.

    Michael: I don’t think they would let me do that, guys.

    Carl: What if you could have two players? Say you, and a certain coach Ditka.

    Pat: That’s already unfair again.

    Todd: Yeah that’s no contest.

    Bob: If I may shift gears for a moment gentleman, coach Ditka vs. The Hurricane, who would win?

    Todd, Pat, Carl: Ditka, Ditka!!

    Bob: Course, go ahead.

    Michael: Well it’s just about the Michael Jordan Foundation, it was established about five years ago, by my mother. I mean I am really proud of it. You know, it was established in the mid-west, I think it helps a lot of good cases. Cases like the Ronald McDonald house, Lung cancer mid-west, HIV research fund, etc. I really think it’s a good organization. I just thought this would be a good time to express my gratification about the whole ordeal. You know, you don’t mind. I think it’s very important, alright is that ok, it’s a family thing, my brother is in it, everyone is in it. You guys don’t mind do you?

    Bob: No, sure go ahead.

    Todd: Yeah that’s important stuff.

    Carl: Absolutely.

    Bob: Now thank you for coming out Michael, but before we sign off Todd here, has a special ritual that he would like to perform in honor of the Bulls. (Pause) Todd as you can see is standing in a Hula Skirt and a Coconut Bra. Todd, When was the last time you performed this ritual?

    Todd: January 26, 1986, when the Bears won the Super Bowl.

    Bob: Ok you may proceed.

    Todd: Daaaaaaaaaaaa Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls, Da Bulls (while dancing).

    Weekend Update with Kevin Nealon

    …..Kevin Nealon
    …..Jesse Jackson


    Kevin Nealon: Morning!

    On Friday, an evenly divided Senate Judiciary Committee refused to recommend the confirmation of Judge Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier in those hearings, Judge Thomas requested a restraining order against the People For The American Way. He later withdrew this request when it was explained they were trying to “Bork” him, not “pork” him.

    Vice-President Dan Quayle says the solution to the food distribution problem in the Soviet Union lies in neighboring China. He suggests the Soviets simply call Chinese restaurants for take-out, and have the food delivered.

    This just in: President Bush, in a surprise news conference, announced that the U.S. will officially recognize the Banana Republic’s independence. The popular clothing store is free to break away from Hickory Farms and the rest of the mall.

    The Dead Sea Scrolls, rare documents from Biblical times, have been made public and partially translated. It seems the correct pronunciation after all is “Hey-Zeus”, and not “Jesus”, as formally thought.

    Final Exit, the book that instructs its owner on suicide techniques, remains on the bestseller list for seven weeks in a row. One tip: don’t try to find this book at the library – people just don’t return it.

    Pee Wee Herman.. nah. Why beat a dead horse!

    Kevin Nealon: Theodore Geisel, known to his loyal readers as Dr. Suess, died this week at age 87. Like many of us, I grew up with Dr. Suess, and one of my favorite stories is “Green Eggs and Ham”. Here to read from this classic, is the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Reverand?

    Jesse Jackson: Tonight, rather than read from First and Second Samuel, I read from Sam I Am, according to the latter day saint Suess.

    “You do not like green eggs and ham?
    I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
    I do not like green eggs and ham.

    I could not, would not, on a boat.
    I will not, will not, with a goat.
    I will not eat them in the rain.
    I will not eat them on a train.
    Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
    Not in a car! You let me be!

    I do not like them in a box.
    I do not like them with a fox.
    I will not eat them in a house.
    I do not like them with a mouse.
    I do not like them here or there.
    I do not like them ANYWHERE!
    I do not like green eggs and ham!
    I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

    You do not like them.
    So you say.
