VIDEO: FareCompare’s Grumpy Santa Does Poor Nixon Imitation

Filed under: Nixon, On The Move, Video — Rick Seaney @ 2:02 pm

Well, Grumpy Santa tried a Richard Nixon impression-but it’s clear he’ll never make it in stand-up comedy.

The point, you may well be asking? Well, Mark Ashley of the esteemed “Upgrade: Travel Better” site asked Santa to do one of the former President’s patented Air Force One waves, to illustrate an historical parallel.

You see, back when he was campaigning against JFK in 1960, Mr. Nixon went on a journey similar to our Santa’s…but the presidential candidate’s trip didn’t work out so well.

Please forgive my poor impersonation. I wasn’t alive when Mr. Nixon did his tour.

definitely you should have done your arms in the “Y” like in YMCA from the Village people and flatten it out a bit - We forgive that your rusty on Nixon 50-state tour poses.

Was the plane at least in JFK?

For your benefit, Kennedy was who he was opposing that election that year… I wasn’t born then either …
