Political satirist and impressionist JIM MORRIS. He's always done impressions. He began lampooning the Presidents at about the time Reagan was sworn in to office. Since then he's impersonated Bush, and Clinton, as well as presidental contenders, Michael Dukakis, Paul Tsongas, and Ross Perot. He's also impersonated some well known broadcasters. He impersonated Bush at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner, in front of the President himself in 1989. CBS's Mike Wallace described it as "Mean. Mean. Mean. Mean." And The New Yorker says of MORRIS, "Like an obsessive character actor, Mr. Morris doesn't just impersonate his subjects; he becomes them.
