Former U.S. President George W. Bush may wish to remain out of the spotlight, even in the wake of Osama Bin Laden’s death, but that’s not stopping the wheels of parody. In a new Funny or Die video, Will Ferrell’s back in his tremendously popular impersonation of Bush, issuing a statement from the “Sizzler Steakhouse on Canyon Ranch Road.” In the video, Ferrell’s Bush details how he’s personally overseen a “strategic and covert operation that killed the gopher who’s been tearing up my backyard.”
“President Bush” then gives detailed intel on the complicated history of his uphill battle with the gopher, named Ardilla. The account comes complete with a timeline of the riveting hunt which took place at his gated estate outside of Dallas, ending with the gopher’s demise in a vicious firefight including a garden hose and a rake.
When informed in the video that bin Laden has been killed, Bush responds that “they got bin Laden? that’s two good things!” He’s then promptly ushered to the taco bar.
