Bush ... open your case

20 April 2008

U.S. President George W. Bush will make a guest appearance on Monday's episode of the NBC game show "Deal or No Deal."

Yes, he is doing television game shows as president.

More likely, Bush should think about being a contestant, but no Bush taped a video message for "Deal" contestant Capt. Joseph Kobes, a U.S. Army transportation officer who served three tours of duty in Iraq.

In the message, Bush thanks Kobes for his service and wishes him good luck in trying to win the show's $1 million prize. Referencing the difficulty of balancing the budget as president, Bush also jokingly asks "Deal" host Howie Mandel how he would feel hosting a $3 trillion dollar reality show.

Mostly assuredly, Bush needs the money, with the U.S. being so much more in debt then $3 trillion.
