Will Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live last night as George W. Bush in the cold open to throw his name into the ring for the Republican presidential nomination. Watch below as he mispronounces "The Fugees," shares his enlightened views on immigration ("The way I see it, unless your name is Running Bear or Chief Two Rivers, we're all anchor babies"), laughs hysterically at "knucklehead" Donald Trump, reveals the truth about Tiny Leprechaun Internment Camps, and addresses his brother Jeb: "You've got to admit, it's a pretty good plot twist that I turned out to be the smart one."
Ferrell ends the sketch on a high note with a description of Bush that encapsulates the cuddly/unthreatening image he's cultivated in the years since he left the White House (especially compared to the current batch of GOP loons): "Running a government is kind of like driving a school bus. You don't want a crazy person driving that bus, you want a simple, underachieving, not-very-educated but reliable guy behind that wheel. Someone with a steady hand who will be on time and will get into one or two, but no more than four accidents a year."
Check back for our full recap of last night's episode a little later.
