Bush administration to be cartoon (on Comedy Central)

[deadparrot]

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Comedy Central has ordered "Lil' Bush: Resident of the United States," a cartoon satire that re-imagines President Bush and key executives in his administration as elementary school misfits.

The title character is surrounded by close pals like Lil' Cheney, who grumbles unintelligibly, and Lil' Condi, who pines for Lil' Bush and does his homework for him.

"Bush" is not without its risque moments. When Lil' Bush's school serves falafel instead of hot dogs for lunch in one episode, he and his pals torture the cafeteria employees with methods made famous during the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.

Six episodes from writer-producer Donick Cary ("The Simpsons") have been ordered to air on Comedy Central next year.

1. Yea! What happens if Bush is impeached before it airs?

[KingFlorez]

2. Sounds great

3. Elementary school misfits is

probably just what they were too. The bullies on the playground who stole lunch money and taunted littler kids. It's just what they are like today playing all grown up at the White House.

12. I don't think he can play anything!

"He was the head football cheerleader his senior year, a member of his class rock-and-roll band, the Torqueys – not singing or playing an instrument but clapping"

[Wwagsthedog]

14. Sure he is

He's a bonafide largemouth bass.

6. Will there be a Lil' Rummy?

He would be the one who walks around spouting gibberish ('known unknowns" anyone?) or asking himself questions which he then answers. (The real Rummy would've been hilarious for those reasons had it not been for the fact that he's so dangerously incompetent and an unrepentant warmonger.)

[Kahuna]

7. Since Rummy is older, he should be a Fonz-like character spewing

his unintelligible meanderings.

15. LOL .... Quayle Lmntary

...the school they attend ... "Raising future DeciDers since 1936"!!!!!!

Pretty biting satire; I love it!

[tuvor]

16. I watched "Nuked". Didn't find it that funny, to be honest.

When your pedigree includes The Simpsons, the expectations are a little higher.

17. Thanks!

Kickin for later.

[BattyDem]

11. The Bush administration is already a cartoon!

:P

13. Love it!

Must see TV!

18. Problem is, as I see it;

Is that it may become a hit, the way "That's my bush" was pre-9/11. The moment bush 'saved' the universe they took off that funny and well done show before it offended anyone.
