RIP Steve Bridges

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

RIP Steve Bridges

George W. Bush impersonator Steve Bridges dies at 48

http://www.aiowiki.com/wiki/Steve_Bridges

He appeared in 17 episodes of Adventures in Odyssey, and played 22 characters.

48 is too young to die. He was not in that many episodes, but did a good job in them. I remember him best in Hidden in my Heart as several characters and John Madden imitation in gambling episode.

I always really enjoyed his appearances on the Tonight Show as George W. Bush. He did really good Clinton and Obama impersonations as well.

I saw this on Drudge. He seems to be connecting it to Andrew Breitbart's death and the fact that Bridges was an Obama impersonator. It's starting to get a little suspicious... :anxious:

This is very sad. And to think, he was only forty-eight.

The good thing is is that from what I've heard, he was a Christian.

Bill O'Reilly named him a "Patriot" in today's "Pinheads and Patriots" segment on the O'Reilly Factor. \:D/
