Seems like the Bush Abministration would provide a fine example with many examples for a wide range of potential episodes--for a television mockumentary series (comedy/tragedy). It could serve as a proper record of their administration (the corruption, insanity, intentional mistakes, inexcusable blunders, foolishness, poor judgement, delusions, lies & deceptions and imperialist tendencies as well as their ignorant, unworkable, arrogant, dogmatic and aggressive aims/goals, strategies and policies), made both palatable (interesting/entertaining/funny enough perhaps to sit through/endure the pain) and understandable (since much of what they do isn't obvious to the average Republiboob/conservidiot). Much of their grievious hzens best descriistory would finally be made accessible through the wonder of humor to those populations of citibed as disintersted, uninvolved or deluded. And at the very least, it would be an enduring record for posterity (to laugh/cry at).

Conflicting emotions makes for much more riviting theater, and what could be more conflicting than laughing at the antics of these boobs while being painfully informed or reminded of the enormous (and pervasive, permanent and pernicious) damage they've done to America and it's future? Future generations; at least they'd have something to explain to them why they're still paying on trillions (with a 'T') of public debt caused by the Tax Cuts (and to a lesser extent, an elective "war" and unwise spending) decreed by that former president, Bush Jr.--you know, the one who thought he was 'King', all those many decades ago.

However, currently, it may just be that they (the aforementioned people, not the Bush Admin--since we already know they don't have one) might just lack a sense of humor. No sense of humor at all, and may also not be able to take a joke (which is a shame, because the rest of us have had to put up with a 'Joke' for a President for more than five years now).

At a minimum, someone could make an animated comedy series along the lines of 'The Simpsons' or better yet, 'South Park'. Maybe 'Beavis and Butthead'... heh, though Bush is one 'Queer Duck' (to be fair, he may not be Gay (any more(?)) even if he's only had a few 'Gay' experiences such as his Skull and Bones initiation and a close relationship with one of his former Yale/Skull&Bones college roommates--but then again, he has good excuses: that was all before he 'found the Lord', and 'that was many years ago, when he was a young man', and after all, his homosexual roomie/P.A.L. was transferred to Warsaw, Poland--you know, "out of sight, out of the newspapers"), but maybe the Bush Administration wouldn't transfer well onto the 'Queer Duck' format. Yes, a 'Beavis & Butthead' meets 'South Park' set in West Texas and the White House with George and Dick as characters like Beavis and Butthead... hmmm. Sounds promising. Hehh-heh-he-heheh-heh-heheheh.... but who do we cast as The Great Cornholio? Condoho-or-Rumsicle perhaps?

Boy, did they (George-n-Dick) ever "Do America"...

6. Credits said Bradley Whitford wrote this episode.
He's a damn good writer! Nothing against Whitford, but I wonder if Aaron Sorkin ghosted this teleplay; the writing tonight had the old familiar snap crackle and pop of the Sorkin days on "West Wing".
