George W. Bush impersonator appears in Japanese commercials

George W. Bush lookalike Brent Mendenhall has been appearing in tea commercials on Japanese TV.

Each scene of the Bush lookalike acting goofy/stupid is followed by a message letting you know that Herbal Clear is supposed to help wash away bad things.
