Funny or Die: 'Bush' responds to Bin Laden's death

Funny or Die

Will Ferrell spoofed former president George W. Bush in a Funny or Die clip in response to Osama Bin Laden's death.

Hey, America! Don't forget that George W. Bush has his share of problems too.

The former president, played to a T by Will Ferrell in a Funny or Die clip, announced to America "and all the folks here at this Sizzler steakhouse" that he had accomplished the impossible: Captured and killed Ardilla, the gopher that had been terrorizing his backyard.

"None of us will ever forget the day when that sucker first reared its gopher head," he said. "I was reading Us magazine on the toilet when I heard a scuffle outside and ran to find my copy of The Dallas Morning Union Tribune Guardian newspaper was missing."

What followed, according to comedic straight man Ferrell, was a two-year investigation into the critter's whereabouts, which his "reliable source" - his gardener, Alberto - identified and honed in on.

The ensuing struggle, which "involved hissing, a garden hose and a rake," ended with Ardilla's killing and a definite end to the gopher's backyard terrorism.

"Bush" made sure of it - by tossing the remains of the animal into his neighbor's yard, wrapped in a bathroom mat.

Not bad for a day's work - until a secret service agent creeps into the picture to tell the former president that President Obama had captured and killed Osama Bin Laden.

"They've got Bin Laden? Well, that's two good things," he reacted. "They've got a taco bar?! That's three good things. How did I miss it? Show me where it is."

The video spoof is just the latest in a series of Internet memes circling the web, and the most recent reminder that America is quickly�finding the funny in its triumph.
