BEST POLITICAL 'STRATEGERY'
George W. Bush on Saturday Night Live
Ferrell (alongside Darrell Hammond as Dick Cheney) played Bush as a word-mangling but fun-loving guy, a portrayal that the real George W. Bush seemed to take as a compliment, much as his father had taken Dana Carvey's impression a decade earlier. In fact, showing he was a good sport about the spoof, Bush appeared on SNL's ''Presidential Bash 2000'' special (which no doubt helped him win votes in his first presidential race). The performance also earned Ferrell an Emmy nomination.
