I'd go so far as to say it's one of the best impressions ever, because it's completely stuck in my head. Any time I watch Maher I think of Dunnigan's impression. "Really? You're one of those people. You're wrong. Okaaay?" If George Clooney came on and talked like himself Bill would be like "yes! Now that's a perfect impression of me!" That's where Bill's ego is.
