Number 42 on the C&L Countdown Hit Parade is an oldie from 2007, former (ah, I like that word) President George W. Bush's standup routine from the 2007 Correspondent's Dinner, more fondly referred to as NerdProm. I can't say for sure why this video landed in our Top 50, because I think President Obama lighting fire to Donald Trump's rump (verbally, at least) was a far funnier video.

Some highlights:

A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," Bush said at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner Wednesday.

"Ah," he said, "those were the good ol' days."

Noting that Vice President Dick Cheney was not in attendance at the event at a Washington hotel, Bush said: "He's had a rough few weeks. To be honest, his feelings were kind of hurt. He said he was going on vacation to Afghanistan, where people like him."

Cheney's recent trip to Afghanistan was marked by a bombing near where he was meeting with officials.
On the controversy over the Justice Department's firing of eight federal prosecutors, Bush said: "I have to admit we really blew the way we let those attorneys go. You know you've botched it when people sympathize with lawyers."

Acknowledging Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the head table, Bush said some had wondered how he'd get along with her. "Some say she's bossy, she's opinionated, she's not to be crossed," he said. "Hey, I get along with my mother."

Looking ahead to life after leaving the White House, Bush said he might follow President Bill Clinton's lead and produce a memoir."I'm thinking of something really fun and creative for mine," he said. "You know, maybe a pop-up book."

Possible titles: "How W. Got His Groove Back," "Who Moved My Presidency?" and "Tuesday with Cheney."
Bush noted that another person missing from the audience of broadcast journalists was Sen. Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat running for president.

"Not enough press," the president cracked.
