WASHINGTON (AP) - Want to vote a Republican off the island? How about all of them? If so, House Democrats are here to help with a new Web-based cartoon program, Republican Survivor.

President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Rep. Katherine Harris and conservative commentator Ann Coulter are the cartoon contestants in a program patterned after reality television shows. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia makes a late appearance as the ``immunity fairy,'' whose function is to designate contestants who can't be voted off the island.

The cartoon moderator, no friend of any of them, says the overall instructions are to ``lie, cheat, steal, coddle, cuddle and pander. In other words, do what comes naturally to you.''

Suffice it to say the cartoon images are no more flattering to the GOP survivor crew than the dialogue.

3. Weak execution

Not a bad idea, but unwatchably dull. I turned it off after 60 seconds.

For relief, visit www.theonion.com or stream Daily Show bits from comedycentral.com.
