Billy Bush is trying to wiggle his way back into the media limelight.
I never thought I’d be commenting on him ever again. You know who this guy is, right? He was the other guy in an infamous 2005 video talking to a reality TV celebrity/real estate mogul about certain aspects of his private life.
The fellow to whom he was talking that day now is the president of the United States, Donald John Trump.
Bush is now 45 years of age. He got fired from the “Today” show after the video surfaced. Many Americans — yours truly included — thought for certain that Trump’s presidential campaign would go down in flames after the video surfaced. It had some audio with it in which Trump joked about how he grabbed women by their private parts.
Yep, the man who would be elected president actually admitted to committing sexual assault.
Ahh, but then we have Bush, the fellow who yukked it up with Trump as he regaled “Access Hollywood” listeners about his boorish behavior.
Does this guy deserve to return to the public spotlight? Not if I had any pull over his future. Then again, I am just one individual.
Pop culture being what it is, however, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see this clown re-enter the entertainment world. I’ll just have to make a point to look the other way.
