(In their third
debate, monitored by Jim Lehrer, Al Gore and George W. Bush take questions at a
town hall forum. The GOP candidate’s father, former President George W. Bush,
has already tried unsuccessfully to inject himself into the contest, but he
remains resourceful.)
Debate
Moderator Jim Lehrer (played
by Chris Parnell): “Next, a question for Governor Bush, from Mr. Jorge
H.W.B.”
Former
President George Bush (played
by Dana Carvey):
[now reappearing, disguised in Mexican garb with his
Secret Service Agents] “Well, as an undecided Latino voter - mi English unbiquito here - but I'd like
to ask Governor Bush here.” [Turning to
his son, Gov. George W. Bush, played by Will Farrell.] “Didn't that last
question seem a little biased? A little skewed? Not totally on the level? That
last fellow - possible shill...possible Democratic operative over there…”
Lehrer
(annoyed):
“President Bush, please!!!”
George
Bush:
[takes off his hat] “Alright, Jim.
Just trying to even things up, level that playing field. Won't happen again.”—Saturday Night Live, Season 26, Episode
