Bill Gates...Has a Sense of Humor?

Tonight, Comrade, was the 2008 CES keynote address.
While most of it was pretty boilerplate ("Here's what to expect from technology in the next few years."), Gates did include a short video of what his last day as CEO of Microsoft will look like.
Highlights:

Gates cuts a track with Jay-Z called, "Pimp Master Bill." Yes, this was Bill Gates rapping...and it was bad.

The Master of Microsoft sends an audition tape to Steven Spielberg. Scenes include Gates as Wolverine and as...Napoleon Dynamite.
Spielberg then calls Clooney about playing Gates, who whines about not being able to do it.

Next, he starts calling pundits. First it's Clinton to see if she wants a running mate. She declines.
He calls Obama and says, "Barack...it's Bill."
The response?
"Bill...Shatner?! How are you."
"No...It's BILL."
"Clinton?" Obama asks. "Does SHE know you're calling?"

There's also a scene with John Stewart where Gates asks, "Can I be a co-host of the [Daily] show?"

Gates, in what is easily my favorite section, calls Bono and pulls him off stage to make him listen to Bill's Guitar Hero playing. Bono listens and then says, "Oh for fuck's sake, Bill. I already told you we don't have any room in the band."

You have to love a guy who's willing to poke fun at himself and throw around a ton of money to get celebrities to help you.
No one will probably remember (or care) what Gates says tonight, but they'll remember the video.

When it is posted on Youtube (and it will be), I'll update with a link.

Here endeth the lesson.

Update: yeah...I thought so.
