NEW YORK — The end of the Bush administration also marks the end of “Great Moments in Presidential Speeches,” an enduring feature on David Letterman’s “Late Show” that pokes fun at the president’s less eloquent moments.
Tonight’s show will feature a retrospective of the best “Great Moments,” such as when the president talked of the right hand not knowing what the left was doing, while motioning with the incorrect hand.
“Late Show” writer Tom Ruprecht was something of a student of Bush’s speaking style. “I first noticed that he would often say things in the cadence of a joke, but it wasn’t a joke, but the audience would laugh.”
