Funniest Political Moments of 2006

Politics is filled with ups and downs -- especially this year in particular.  During this roller coaster ride, there were some lighter moments -- the stuff that makes following politics completely worth it.  Bust out the popcorn, kick-back, relax, and enjoy.  Here are the 10 funniest political moments of 2006, starting with number 10 and counting down to number 1:

10) CNN cuts to Bush before he was ready.  It just comes down to bad communication, nonetheless funny.

9) Adam Carolla hangs up on Ann Coulter.  It happened in July on the Adam Carolla radio show.

8) Bill O'Reilly and David Letterman went at it.  The thoughtful one always wins.  This was from October.

7) President Bush fondles German Chancellor Merkel.  This was one of the many embarrassing episodes for Bush during the G8 Summit.

6) Tucker Carlson dances.  Cover your eyes everyone.  Good effort though.

5) Bush teases a reporter about his shades.  Little did Bush know that the reporter was blind.

4) Bush impressionist Frank Caliendo steals the show.  This is from the David Letterman Show back in February.

3) Bush talks to Blair at G8 Summit while the microphone was still on.  This was the second embarrassing moment for President Bush during the G8 Summit in July.  Now we can understand why Bush doesn't like diplomacy so much.

2) Ted Stevens on Net Neutrality.  This definitely tops them all.  Over the next five years, Net Neutrality will be a huge issue.  What better way to solve it than by putting a complete idiot in charge of regulating it.  Jon Stewart of the Daily Show reports (The scary part was that until the Republicans lost their majority, Ted Stevens was only three heart-beats away from the presidency).

1) Stephen Colbert makes fun of Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  Colbert demonstrates why he is so masterful -- because the press didn't understand his jokes.  There are three parts to this:

Part One

Part Two

Part Three
