Will Ferrell’s ‘Dubya’ returns to SNL for major announcement

The opening of this weekend’s Saturday Night Live featured a surprise guest with a big announcement.

George Bush, played by Will Ferrell, took the stage to let the American public know that he would be joining the GOP candidates seeking the Republican nomination.

“I’m entering the race for President of the United States of America,” he said.

“The field of Republicans out there is so messed up, it makes you miss me. And that’s saying a lot.”

‘Dubya’ then went on to offer his thoughts on his competition.

Ben Carson: “He’s some kind of brain surgeon. And I got news for him. Running the country is not brain surgery.”

Carly Fiorina: “She’s not qualified in any way to be president. In many ways she reminds me of me.”

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio: “Rubio and Cruz. Sounds like a Miami law firm. These two guys, the sons of immigrants hate immigrants.”

Donald Trump: “This knucklehead. Whenever I picture his big, fat, orange Oompa Loompa face I just piss my pants.”

Jeb Bush: “You got to admit it’s a pretty good plot twist that I turned out to be the smart one.”

Ferrell’s Bush then finished his speech explaining why he should be the next President of the United States.

“Running the government is a lot like driving a school bus. You don’t want a crazy person driving that bus. You want a simple, underachieving, not-very-educated but reliable guy behind that wheel. Someone with a steady hand that will be on time, and get into one or two, but no more than four accidents a year,” he said.

“That someone is me. I’ll see you in the White House.”
