George W. Bush and Jim Meskimen (audio)
Jim Meskimen is a wonderfully talented actor and comedian. He’s also not too bad as an impressionist. Most recently he had the opportunity to perform a series of shows and conduct workshops in England and then upon returning to the United States, Jim dialed it up in Chicago and Toronto.
