Stranger…..Horatio Sanz

[open on cartoon graphic of Michael Jackson in a blue roller coaster car with yellow lettering: “Michael Jackson in a Roller Coaster”]

Narrator: And now, back to “Michael Jackson in a Roller Coaster”

[dissolve to Michael Jackson in a roller coaster car with Johnnie Cochran, Elizabeth Taylor, and others]

Michael Jackson: Wheeeee! Wooooo! Hold on, everybody! Here we go! I love roller coasters! Look, we can touch the clouds! Hello bird! [waves] Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo bird! I wanna buy you! Here we go! Get ready everybody! Put your hands up! [raises his hands]

Lawyer: Michael, we have some very serious things to talk about. As you lawyer, I think we should go over these allegations–

Michael Jackson: Put your hands up! Get your hands up! [raises his hands]

Lawyer: I think I speak for all of us when I say, Johnnie Cochran, welcome to the team.

Johnnie Cochran: Thank you, thank you.

Michael Jackson: Johnnie’s my friend. Liz Taylor is my friend, too!

Elizabeth Taylor: Oh, Michael, just listen to these people for once! You’re in great, great danger!

Johnnie Cochran: Michael, we all love roller coasters, but I think surely you must be aware of the impending legal ramifications–

Michael Jackson: Get your hands up everybody! Here we go!

[everybody raises their hands]

Michael Jackson: [shouts gleefully] That was fun! Again-again-again-again-again!

Lawyer: They have you on tape trying to leave the country! Your bail was three million dollars and you are running out of money, Michael.

Michael Jackson: Yeah. We need to buy more money.

Johnnie Cochran: That’s impossible, Michael.

Michael Jackson: No! Nothing’s impossible at the Neverland Ranch, Johnnie Cochran. I’ll buy you a million-dollar watch!

Johnnie Cochran: I’ll take that watch, but as your legal council I would advise you to resist buying watches for other people.

Lawyer: Your financial situation is bad, Michael.

Elizabeth Taylor: Michael, I beg you, listen to these people. You need help. I can’t take it anymore. Oh, Michael! [sobs]

[sad music plays]

Michael Jackson: Oh, I’m sorry, Liz Taylor! I’m sorry, lawyers! [points to man behind him] I’m sorry, stranger! I really made a mess of everything. Nobody likes me. I’m sorry, the man who makes the snow-cones! I’m sorry! I’m not mean. I wanna make things right. Please don’t cry, Elizabeth Taylor.

Elizabeth Taylor: [sobbing] Michael!

[music stops]

Michael Jackson: Here we go, everybody! Put your hands up!

[everybody raises their hands]

Lawyer: Michael, you could go to jail!

Michael Jackson: I’m gonna get my baby, Blanket! He loves roller coasters! [lifts baby from below as “Daisy, Daisy” beings to play] Hey, Blanket, get ready! [throws baby into the air and shouts gleefully, accompanies by a playful musical flourish on the soundtrack] Bye, Blanket! I’ll see you when we come back around! Get your hands up, Johnnie, everybody, get your hands up! [everybody raises their hands] Again-again-again-again-again!

Johnnie Cochran: Michael, maybe we should get off this roller coaster and rehearse what we’re going to say to the press. They’re gonna ask some tough questions!

[music changes]

Lawyer: Like, did you share your bed with the boy?

Michael Jackson: Huh?

Johnnie Cochran: Did you engage in any inappropriate behavior?

Michael Jackson: What?

Lawyer: Did you buy the boy expensive presents?

Michael Jackson: Huh?

[music stops]

Elizabeth Taylor: Did you buy the boy my fragrance, White Diamonds?

Michael Jackson: Oh, look, here comes Blanket! [twinkly music plays as Blanket falls back into his arms] Oh, Blanket, I love you so much! I wish I knew how you were made! Okay, everybody, let’s get ready! Here we go, get your hands up, get–whooooo! [everybody raises their hands]

Lawyer: Michael, stop this roller coaster right this instant! You could spend the rest of your life in jail!

[darker music plays]

Michael Jackson: You’re right, lawyer. This is serious. I got an idea! [playful music plays] I’m gonna call Quincy. I’ll buy a new ear. I’ll turn into a werewolf. Then I’ll take my sleeping pills and sleep until this all goes away.

Elizabeth Taylor: Michael, you’ve done it again! You’re a genius!

Lawyer: Council, what’s our strategy?

Johnnie Cochran: Well, I think it’s important to shield Michael as much as we can from the details. Also, I think it’s important that I get that million-dollar watch. If you know what I mean.

Lawyer: I know exactly what you mean. Hands up!

[everybody raises their hands]

Michael Jackson: Everybody, get your hands up! Here we go! I love roller coasters!

Al Sharpton’s Monologue

…..Al Sharpton
Old Version of Al Sharpton…..Tracy Morgan

Al Sharpton: Thank you! Thank you very much! What a pleasure it is to be here, hosting “Saturday Night Live”. For me, it’s a wonderful opportunity – to reach out, to a broader audience. Maybe tonight, people can finally get to know.. the real Al Sharpton! President Al Sharpton! I know many of you out there think you know me! But what you are probably thinking about is the old, more flamboyant Al Sharpton. Mind you, I’m not apologizing for any of my past, but.. I think we’ve all done some things we’d like to forget. We’re just lucky our past can’t come to life, and haunt us now.

[ Old Version of Al Sharpton steps onto the stage ]

Old Version of Al Sharpton: I heard that!

Al Sharpton: Who.. are you.. supposed to be?

Old Version of Al Sharpton: I’m you, fool! The old Al Sharpton! Don’t I look good!

Al Sharpton: [ incensed ] I never looked that bad!

Old Version of Al Sharpton: Uh-uh! Think again!

Al Sharpton: Okay, you got me. That’s the way I used to dress – in the 70’s!

Old Version of Al Sharpton: What are you talking about?! You wore this suit five years ago! This is a 100% velour track suit by.. uh, hold on.. [ checks the tag on the back of the suit ] ..Lord Crumbley Brothers! You talked to Yassar Arafat in this suit!

Al Sharpton: I did not!

Old Version of Al Sharpton: Well, you should have! There would be peace in the Middle East, if you had just flashed your bling-bling!

Al Sharpton: Man, I’m trying to be president! I can’t walk around looking like that! I have to look a little more dignified!

Old Version of Al Sharpton: Look ‘atcha! Up here, on this racist television show! All dressed up like Pat Boone.. trying to appeal to people in Iowa! You used to be the touring manager for James Brown, the Godfather of Soul!

Al Sharpton: Hold on! Just because I don’t wear flashy suits and gold medallions, it doesn’t mean I still can’t get down!

Old Version of Al Sharpton: You an old man!

Al Sharpton: Not too old to do this! [ to the band ] Hit it!

[ singing ]
“I feel good!
I knew that I would!
I feel good!
I knew that I would!

Hey!

So good!
So good!
I got you!“

Woww!!

Together: [ singing ]
“I feel nice!
Like sugar and spice!
I feel nice!
Like sugar and spice!

So nice!
So nice!I got you!

Al Sharpton: Hey!

We got a great show! Tracy Morgan is here! Pink is here! So, stick around, we’ll be right back!

Al Sharpton’s Casa De Sushi

…..Rev. Al Sharpton
Dancers…..Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, Will Forte, Kenan Thompson
Harvey Fierstein…..Horatio Sanz

[ Fade in on videotaped footage of fish being caught with a net and pulled onto a boat. Dissolve into shot of Rev. Al Sharpton, dressed as a pirate, looking into a telescope]

Rev. Al Sharpton: [à la a pirate] Ahoy, mateys! The seas look right as rain! [drops the pirate act and addresses the audience]: Hi, I’m the Reverend Al Sharpton. Everyone knows I love fish: fried catfish sandwiches, grilled shrimp salad, salmon stir fry. Yum, I love me some fish – cooked fish, that is! But some goofy son-of-a beestings like to eat that stuff raw. Yes, raw. People paying top dollar for food that ain’t cooked. That’s why I opened up Al Sharpton’s Casa De Sushi.

[Four dancers, two women with geisha girl hairstyles and two men with katanas (samurai swords), dressed in plain blue bathrobes come out, bobbing back and forth to the music and half-heartedly singing a parody of “California” by Tupac Shakur]

Dancers: [singing]
“Al Sharpton’s Casa De SushiAl Sharpton’s Casa De SushiIn the cityOf SeacaucusWe don’t like it (We don’t like it)But we’ll serve it to yaAnd charge ya money.”

[The Dancers leave]

Rev. Al Sharpton: That’s right! [an off-screen stagehand to the left gives Sharpton a platter of sushi rolls and Sharpton gives his telescope to him]: I don’t like this stuff! [throws sushi rolls in a wastebasket held by an off-screen stagehand to the right, then hands the platter back to the offscreen stagehand to the left] This stuff is nasty! But if you’re a weirdo, by all means, come to my place: Al Sharpton’s Casa De Sushi.

[cut to Al Sharpton’s face in a circular inset on the lower left side of the screen superimposed next to a plate of octopus]

Female V/O: Octopus.

Rev. Al Sharpton: Gross!

[cut to another plate, this time with squid on it]

Female V/O: Squid.

Rev. Al Sharpton: Yuck!

[cut to a final plate, this time with two eels on it]

Female V/O: Eel.

Rev. Al Sharpton: Heck, no! [cut back to full shot of Al Sharpton at the sushi restaurant] But that’s just my opinion. People ask me, “Al, why open a sushi restaurant?” Well, presidential campaigns don’t finance themselves, people.

[The Dancers return to “dance” and sing another verse]

Dancers: [singing]”Al Sharpton’sCasa De SushiIf you like sushiYou should come here.”

[The dancers leave]

Rev. Al Sharpton: You don’t believe me, then listen to this lady from Broadway, Harvey Fierstein.

[enter Harvey Fierstein]

Harvey Fierstein: [in a gravelly voice] Hello, I’m Harvey Fierstein. I play a fat lady in the Broadway musical “Hairspray”. Eat your heart out, Nell Carter!

Rev. Al Sharpton: [calmly] Be cool. Nell Carter’s dead.

Harvey Fierstein: [in disbelief] What?! Nell Carter died! That’s not funny! She’s a good friend of mine!

Rev. Al Sharpton: Well, I’m afraid she’s dead.

Harvey Fierstein: [wailing] Oh, Nell! Nell Carter died! [Sanz pulls a Chris Farley by passing out on a restaurant table and breaking it]

Rev. Al Sharpton: Harvey Frankenstein, you dummy! You just—you better pay for my table. Okay, let’s just sing the song and get on out of here.

[The Dancers return for their finale]

Dancers: [singing]”Al Sharpton’s Casa De SushiIn the cityOf SeacaucusWe don’t like it (We don’t like it)But we will serve itAnd charge you money.”

Rev. Al Sharpton: What they said.

[cut to title screen with the words “Reverend Al Sharpton’s Casa De Sushi. Rt. 14 In Seascaucus, N.J.” over four shots of the Japanese dishes that were shown earlier in the sketch]

Announcer V/O: The Reverend Al Sharpton’s Casa De Sushi. Route 14 in Seacaucus, New Jersey. We don’t like sushi, but we will serve it and charge you money.

Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey

…..Jimmy Fallon
…..Tina Fey
…..Paris Hilton

Announcer: From Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, it’s “Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey.”

Jimmy Fallon: I’m Jimmy Fallon.

Tina Fey: And I’m Tina Fey. Here are tonight’s top stories.

According to The New York Times, Michael Jackson’s financial advisors have told him that, to avoid bankruptcy, he must limit his spending to $1 million a month. Upon hearing this, Michael dropped the boy he was molesting, and said, “Are you kidding me?”

Jimmy Fallon: President Bush is working on a new American plan to travel back to the moon. This, after officials talked him out of his original plan to go Back to the Future.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow announced on Wednesday that she and her boyfriend Chris Martin from Coldplay are expecting a baby. Also, Jessica Simpson announced that she and her husband, Nick Lachey, have been putting it in the wrong place all the time.

Tina Fey: Shuan-Shuan, a female giant panda, was flown to Japan this week, in hopes that she will mate with Ling-Ling, the male panda at the Tokyo Zoo. Biologists are optimistic, because it’s well-known that Shuan-Shuan is a slut. The mating of Ling-Ling and Shuan-Shuan was brokered by their friend, Pimp-Pimp.

Jimmy Fallon: Sen. Hillary Clinton is criticizing President Bush, saying that his plan to reduce the number of troops in Iraq is simply a PR move, designed to boost his 2004 re-election bid. However, the President denied this, saying, “That’s what my crazy moon plan is for!”

Ground was broken in Fredericksburg, Virginia this week, for the National Slavery Museum. For the punchline of this joke, tune in next week when we have a different host.

Tina Fey: Well, because our host, Rev. Al Sharpton, is an active presidential candidate, a number of NBC affiliates around the country are refusing to air tonight’s show, for fear that other candidates will demand equal time. Since our how isn’t being seen in these cities, we can finally say whatever we want about.. Des Moines, Iowa —

Jimmy Fallon: Snoozeville, U.S.A.!

Tina Fey: — Sacramento, California —

Jimmy Fallon: More like, Suck-romento!

Tina Fey: — Portland, Maine —

Jimmy Fallon: The fart capitol of the world!

Tina Fey: — Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee —

Jimmy Fallon: Y’all come back, now – ya’ queers!

Tina Fey: — Oklahoma —

Jimmy Fallon: Never heard of it.

Tina Fey: — Boston —

Jimmy Fallon: Well.. they..

Together: ..just hate black people.

Tina Fey: — and, finally – Rochester, Minnesota.

Jimmy Fallon: Nerds!

Tina Fey: You guys are —

Together: NERDS!!!

Don Pardo V/O: You’ve been watching “Jimmy & Tina Yelling At Cities That Refuse To Show Saturday Night Live Tonight.” This is Don Pardo saying, “Suck it, Des Moines!”

Tina Fey: It was reported that Justin Guirini has been dropped by his record label – RCA – for poor sales of his debut CD. And, apparently, the news has really been taking its toll on him.

Jimmy Fallon: Len Wagner, a Pennsylvania man, cashed in over a million pennies, after four decades of collecting. Wow. A million pennies. Can you imagine how much money that must be?

Tina Fey: Yes. $10,000 —

Jimmy Fallon: That’s like, $40 million.

Tina Fey: You’re an idiot!

Jimmy Fallon: [ smiling ] Yeahhhh..

Tina Fey: On Wednesday, Thailand opened its first monkey hospital. It did not go well.
[ show picture of monkeys dressed as surgeons and handling an operation ]

While appearing on “Larry King Live” Monday, Linda Tripp revealed that she is marrying her childhood sweetheart, who gave her her first kiss at age 14. Luckily for Tripp, in all their years apart, there was never a cure for blindness.

The ceremony ended with the words: “I now pronounce you Man and.. that.”

Jimmy Fallon: Rolling Stone Mick Jagger is asking the Queen of England not to release pictures of him being knighted later this month, because he’s afraid of upsetting bandmate Keith Richards. Yeah, Mick, I know the feeling. I tried to keep it quiet from Bitchy McJealous over here, when I was made a Jedi!

Tina Fey: Well, Paris Hilton is a name that’s on everyone’s lips these past few weeks. Here now, in an exclusive interview with Jimmy Fallon, is Paris Hilton.

Jimmy Fallon: Thanks for coming on.

Paris Hilton: It’s nice to be here.

Jimmy Fallon: Uh, as we agreed, we won’t be discussing the scandal, uh.. that’s been in the papers the past couple of weeks, alright?

Paris Hilton: Thank you, Jimmy. I appreciate that.

Jimmy Fallon: We just want to find out about you – Paris Hilton. Okay. So, your family – I don’t know if a lot of people know it – the Hiltons – they own hotels all over the world, right?

Paris Hilton: Yes, they’re in New York, London, Paris..

Jimmy Fallon: Oh, wait – so there actually is a Paris Hilton?

Paris Hilton: Yes, there is.

Jimmy Fallon: [ his set-up secure, begins the “real” interview ] Is it hard to get into the Paris Hilton?

Paris Hilton: Actually, it’s a very exclusive hotel – no matter what you’ve heard.

Jimmy Fallon: Uh, I-I-I hear the Paris Hilton is very beautiful.

Paris Hilton: I’m glad that you’ve heard that.

Jimmy Fallon: Uh.. do they allow double-occupancy at the Paris Hilton?

Paris Hilton: No.

Jimmy Fallon: Is the Paris Hilton roomy?

Paris Hilton: It might be for you.. but.. most people find it very comfortable.

Jimmy Fallon: Well, I-I-I-I’m a VIP, alright? I might need to go in the back entrance.

Paris Hilton: It doesn’t matter who you are – it’s not going to happen.

Jimmy Fallon: Okay, now, uh.. I throw a lot of events. Uh, do they have a ballroom there?

Paris Hilton: We do.

Jimmy Fallon: Great! I’d love to have my balls held by the Paris Hilton. It sounds awesome! I’d actually like to, uh.. I’d like to check in to the Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton: I don’t think you can.

Jimmy Fallon: Really? Because.. really.. I’d only be able to stay there, like, a minute – minute and a half, or something.. two minutes, tops. I mean —

Paris Hilton: Good luck.

Jimmy Fallon: Paris Hilton, everybody! For Weekend Update, I’m Jimmy Fallon!

Tina Fey: I’m Tina Fey! Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow!

Balthazar: It’s the cops! Whatever you do, don’t turn around!

[ sirens sound, as the other Wise Men turn to look ]

Balthazar: [ defensive ] We’re just going up there!

Cop: Oh, yeah? What’s up there?

Melchior: Bethlehem! Why did you pull us over?

Cop: I-I noticed your right saddlebag is.. busted..

Balthazar: We were sent to meet someone!

Cop: Meet someone, yeah, right! What’s his name?

Balthazar: [ defensive ] I don’t know his name!

Cop: You don’t know your friend’s name? Okay, I’m going to need to see some ID. Come on. Hand them over..

[ the Three Wise Men hand over their IDs in scrolls ]

Cop: [ unfolding a scroll and glancing at it ] Balthazar? It doesn’t even look like you at all.

Cop: Sure, it is. [ opens next scroll to check ] Melchior. You ever been arrested?

Melchior: No, I haven’t! You just pulled us over because we’re black! We’re not doing anything illegal! We’re just following the bright star in the East!

Balthazar: No, sir!

Cop: Well, what’s that smell, then?

Melchior: Frankincinse.

Cop: Really? You seem pretty jumpy, for guys who aren’t doing anything wrong. Why is that.. [ reads final scroll ] ..Gaspar?

Gaspar: [ not paying attention ] Huh?! We’re just tired! Uh – by the way – I just met these guys!

Cop: Sure, you did. What you got in the bags?

Balthazar: ..It’s just some stuff!

Cop: You mind if I take a look?

Melchior: We weren’t doing anything wrong!

Cop: Then, you won’t mind if I take a look, then.

Balthazar: All I got is some frankincinse!

Cop: [ to Melchior ] How about you, Chief?

Melchior: Some gold!

Cop: What’s in your sack there, Gaspar?

Gaspar: Just some myrrh..

Cop: Oh, myyrh. Hunkie! Is that kind of.. designer drug, or something?

Gaspar: No, sir.. it’s just some incense!

Cop: Alright.. let me get this straight, okay? You guys are driving around in the middle of the night, following a star, with gold and two bags of incense, to go see your friend, whose name you forgot! Is that pretty much it?

Balthazar: Yeah..

Cop: I’m going to need you to step down off the camel. Come on! Get up!

Gaspar: [ whining ] I don’t want to go to jail..!

Melchior: We’re not! Officer, this is some big misunderstanding! You see.. we’re Three Wise Men!

Cop: More like three wise guys. Now, step down, and keep those hands where I can see them, okay? Come on! Get down!

[ Angel appears hovering above the Three Wise Men ]

Angel: Fear not. I can explain all.

Cop: Balthazar, is this the friend you were planning on meeting?

Balthazar: I never seen this guy in my life!

Cop: You guys stay put for a second. [ shines his torch at the Angel ] What’s your story, buddy?

Angel: I am an angel, sent from Heaven!

Cop: Sure, you are. Look, uhhh.. it looks like you’ve been busy tonight – what’s that all over your robe?

Angel: [ hesitant ] Uh.. I don’t want to say, because it’ll sound bad.

Cop: Come on, what is it!

Angel: It’s, uh.. angel dust.

Cop: Okay, Mr. Angel! I’m gonna need you to put your hands on top your head, okay?

Melchior: He’s telling the truth! He’s an angel sent from Heaven!

Cop: Save it, Ace, okay? I’m arresting all four of you, alright? Come on!

Melchior: [ to the others ] Let’s get out of here!

[ Three Wise Men and the Angel scamper off quickly ]

A Message From the President of NBC Entertainment

Jeff Zucker…..Jimmy Fallon

[ display animated NBC logo ]

Announcer: and now, a message from the President of NBC Entertainment – Jeff Zucker.

[ dissolve to Jeff Zucker at desk, who waves his arms frantically throughout the sketch ]

Jeff Zucker: Good evening, America. I’m NBC Entertainement President, Jeff Zucker. When I heard that Rev. Al Sharpton was available to host “Saturday Night Live”, I was very excited. He’s a charismatic figure, and a New York institution. And I knew his hosting tonight’s show would get millions of African-Americans to tune into NBC for the first time. But it was only after I gave Lorne Michaels the go-ahead for Al Sharpton, that I found out about the Equal-Time laws that applied in presidential campaigns. You see, for every minute that Rev. Sharpton appears on the show tonight, we’re obliged to give each of the other eight candidates an equal amount of time on NBC. But we’ve made a negative into a positive, and done what we do best here at NBC – tuen lemons into television programming!

You’ll be blown away by this week’s “Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit: When a convicted sex offender escapes from prison, and heads to Manhatten, to look up his former victim, Detective Benson finds herself held hostage by a sadistic monster – played by special guest, Sen. John Kerry!

[ promo photo is displayed ]

Then, gather the whole family ’round the TV, for the Joe Lieberman special: “Hanukkah in Connecticut”!

[ promo photo is displayed ]

Only on NBC, Wednesday, December 17th, at 1:45 a.m.

Uh-oh, everybody! Whoopi’s cousin from Chicago is in town, and – oh, snap! – she is a handful! Look for Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun, on three consecutive sets of “Whoopi”!

[ promo photo is displayed ]

And, talk about surprise twist – who will Melana pick, when Congressman Dennis Kucinich becomes a surprise contestant on the season finale of “Average Joe”?

[ promo photo is displayed ]

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark says he’s the best choice to lead our military. But, will that still be true when Carson and Kyle are done with him?

[ promo photo of “Queer Eye For the Straight Guy” is displayed ]

Who knows? Who.. knows?

[ promo photo is displayed ]

And, look what’s coming in daytime – make contact with your loved ones on: “Crossing Over”, with John Edward and John Edwards!

[ “Friends” theme pots up ]

Does that sound familiar to you? I can’t go into too much detail here, but all of America will be tuning in to see this Spring, if Rachel ends up with Ross, or.. Congressman Dick Gephardt!

[ promo photo is displayed ]

Hey, America! Would you eat a camel rectum? Well, Howard Dean will! This monday, on “Fear Factor”! At 8 p.m., 7 Central.

[ promo photo is displayed ]

It’s all part of NBC’s Equal-Time TV. Each and every Democratic candidate will get their legally-protected chance to say: “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!!!“

Dean For President 2004

Al Gore…..Darrell Hammond
Howard Dean…..Jeff Richards

Announcer: The following is paid for by Dean For President 2004.

[ dissolve to Al Gore and Howard Dean sitting side by side ]

Al Gore: Hello. I’m Al Gore.

Howard Dean: And I’m howard Dean!

Al Gore: As I’m sure you’re all aware.. we are, to-day, a na-tion.. in cri-sis.. poised on the edge.. of ca-tas-tro-phe.. and without a change in leadership.. we are quite literally.. doomed. It is essential.. that we have a new.. president.. in 2004. A leader with the judgment.. courage.. and vision.. to change our nation’s course and save it.. from disaster. A leader.. like Vermont governor – and my friend – Howard Dean.

Howard Dean: Thank you!

Al Gore: That’s why I’m pleased – and proud – to give him my support for President of the United States.

Howard Dean: I’m honored, Mr. Vice-President!

Al Gore: Like you.. Howard Dean knows.. that, under our current asministration, life in america has been good mainly for the wealthy! For everyone else.. it’s a living, breathing nightmare. As Paul Krugman has pointed out in the New York Times.. George W. Bush is not only.. the worst president in american history.. he is the worst leader of any nation on Earth.. going back more than 500 years!

Howard Dean: Really? I mean.. I’m no fan of President Bush, but uh.. but what about Hitler?

Al Gore: Number Three.

Howard Dean: Pol Pot?

Al Gore: Number Six.

Howard Dean: [ scoffs ] I’m not sure I’d buy that.

Al Gore: Oh no, that’s accurate. It’s from Tuesday’s column. [ back to his sales pitch ] Like you, Howard Dean knows.. the wreckless.. foreign policy of the current administration has alienated our allies.. and left us in a hopeless quagmire in Iraq, where, quite frankly, our military’s looking like a bunch of incompetent.. cowardly.. losers!

Howard Dean: Let me just say that I, uh.. I have nothing but.. respect for our troops.

Al Gore: As President, only a Howard Dean.. could end this insanity. Only a Howard Dean.. could go to Saddam Hussein and say, “Look! Why are we fighting each other? Our real enemy.. is George.. W. Bush.”

Howard Dean: For the record, that is, uh.. not actually my position on Iraq, I.. don’t know where you got that..

Al Gore: In domestic policy, Howard Dean will show the same kind of leadership.. by calling for massive across-the-board tax increases.

Howard Dean: No.. [ chuckles nervously ]

Al Gore: Tax increases may not be popular.. but Howard Dean knows.. they’re essential. Essential! If we’re to fund the huge new government programs our nation needs!

Howard Dean: I never said that!

Al Gore: Now.. in this election.. you’re gonig to hear a lot from the right wing about gay marriage.

Howard Dean: Ix-nay, please. Ix-nay.

Al Gore: That’s because, under Governor Howard Dean, Vermont became the first state in the nation.. to recognize gay marriage.

Howard Dean: Civil unions, not gay marriage.

Al Gore: Basically the same thing.

Howard Dean: You’re not help-ing.

Al Gore: As President, only a howard Dean could have – or would have – the vision to make gay marriage a national policy.

Howard Dean: This isn’t helping.

Al Gore: Now, some people don’t approve of gay marriage, but I’m with Howard Dean. Why shouldn’t gays marry? They let people like George W. Bush get married!

Howard Dean: That doesn’t even make sense.

Al Gore: As our nation continues its downward spiral.. and Americans desperately cry out for leadership.. our current president can only tell us, “Don’t worry, we’ll be alright, God has blessed America.” Like you, Howard Dean.. knows.. that’s a crock!

Howard Dean: Actually, I’m a very religious person..

Al Gore: This November, let’s all put our faith.. in Howard Dean.
