3. I find Reagan pretty easy. Once you get the "well..."
the rest is butter...

2. Ford? All you got to do is fall down a lot, like Chevy Chase did.

9. Hunch your back, waggle your jowls, talk in a growl...
voila... Nixon.

6. It's that faux-Texas accent. It's all over the fucking place.
My Clinton improves when I have a cold.

8. I can do Clinton and Dumbya easily.

My H.W. sounds more like Dana Carvey doing George H.W. Bush, and I can only do Nixon when I shake my head, rocking my cheeks and mouth. I can do JFK, but it also serves as Ted Kennedy, RFK, and Mayor Quimby.

13. The high voice and the country accent are too much for me.
Or do you do a Raymond Massey-style Lincoln?

14. I've got the accent down.
I just need a swift kick in the balls to get the high voice. :P

15. Yeah. Also Bobby Kennedy was easy to imitate.
A lot of parody records in the sixties with Sen. Bobby (impersonater) singing on them. Fave: "Sock It to Me Bobby" by Bobby and the Bobbysockers.

19. Do you remember the RFK "Wild Thing" impersonation? I don't
remember who did it but it was a hoot. There was also an Everett Dirkson impersonation record but I don't even remember the song they used.

23. Yes! I loved that one, too.
"Now Teddy on the ocarina!" "Ethel could you please get the kids out of here, they're stepping on the musicians."

21. Not mine!
Mine is pretty good, or so I'm told. My JFK just sounds like Mayor Quimby.
