Review of Four More Years
"Four More Years" is a hilarious parody of a celebrity documentary, complete with family member testimonials, childhood aspirations, the rise to fame, realization of The Dream, The Inevitable Crash, and, of course, The Comeback. Except, the twist is that the celebrity in question is Charlie Schroeder, a George W. Bush impersonator. Just like the TV specials it's parodying, this piece is sleek and punchy.
Presidents' Day is February 20th...I would swoon if I heard this on the radio. This is the kind of thing I link my friends to.
