Top Ten Good Things About Having a President With A Temper

Late Show with David Letterman - January 10th, 2000
Top Ten Good Things About Having a President With A Temper
10. Fun to hear White House spokesman use phrase "'roid rage"

9. 4 words: Vice President John Rocker

8. Sam Donaldson would find himself on a raft to Cuba

7. New monument: Tomb of the Unknown Guy Who Looked at the President Funny

6. Instead of jar of jellybeans on desk, president claims to have "can of whoop-ass"

5. State of the Union address begins with the words "Hulk mad..."

4. Years from now, it would be cool to have coin with a guy giving the finger on it

3. Ends each radio address with "Well, I see it's clobberin' time"

2. Goodbye presidential veto -- hello guy named Vito hired by the president to break legs

1. Look how well it worked for Nixon!

A little dated (John Rocker), but it holds up pretty well, wouldn't you say? I think #7 is probably my favorite.
