Comedy Central: New Cartoon Show Attacking Entire Bush Family
NewsBusters.org ^ | 4/21/07 | Warner Todd Huston

Proving once again how badly the left suffers from BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), Comedy Central is launching a new animated show lampooning George W. Bush and all surrounding him that was originally broadcast through cell phone networks.

Included in the cartoon attacks will be Vice President Cheney, Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice and a brother JEB who is "dumb as paint".

Lil’Bush Makes the Big Time on Small Screen

In what may be a TV first, Comedy Central’s new series Lil’ Bush (which premieres in June) comes to TV by way of mobile devices such as web-enabled cell phones. The property began as mobisodes seen on 2” mobile screens.
While the technology is interesting and it is also historic that a show migrated to TV after originally being debuted over a cell phone network, they just can't resist it to be an attack on the man they love to hate.
The show follows the misadventures of Lil' George Bush and his precocious pals Lil' Condi, Lil' Rummy and the unintelligible, foul-mouthed wisecracker Lil' Cheney. They're like the Lil' Rascals except they access to weapons of mass destruction. And instead of getting into mischief and learning stuff from other kids in the neighborhood, the little people in Lil’ Bush square off with rivals such as Lil' Kim Jong-Il and Lil' John Kerry. As with the venerable series The Simpsons, this one features celebrity guest voices while pushing the social satire envelope.
Notice how they never want to "push the social satire envelope" by using a liberal icon as a platform to make fun of Americans.
Each week the show follows the Lil' gang (along with irascible dad George Sr., sweetly sinister Bar, and dumb as paint Jeb) as they get mixed up in all sorts of crazy adventures from taking a field trip to Iraq to just taking crank. This show will probably not end up on any top ten list of the Republican National Committee—unless it’s an enemies list.
Yes, Bush derangement Syndrome is epidemic.

My guess is this "show" will fail. But it will endear Comedy Central to the left and that, in the end, is probably the main goal.

They just LOVE to hate Bush. But, where is the funny cartoons with lil' Clinton getting Blow Jobs in the White House? Oh, right. They don't think that leftists can be funny.

This doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. Even if it is wildly successful, won’t it self-destruct after Bush, Cheney, Condi & Company leave office in not much more than a year?

That would be South Park. The only good show on CC.

It will not be aired for long. Like “My Bush” it will be unfunny and pathetic.

I forgot to mention, the Hitlery Clinton episode of South Park a few weeks back was so down and dirty that I can’t even describe it here on FR.

I have watched Sat Nite Live since it first aired but sometimes I don’t even turn it on now because every episode contains Bush bashing. I used to like Amy Poehler but now she makes me sick, same for Seth Meyer.

I used to go to Comedy Central, but lately there hasn’t been much funny on it.

Most of the ads are for other shows, and very few of them are even slightly entertaining. Who funds this junk?

I tell you what, the Left in its various forms never lets up. And rarely says anything intelligent.

and a brother JEB who is "dumb as paint".

Too bad they didn't have a half-brother ROGER that was not only stupid, but a cokehead and drug dealer to boot. One who couldn't even brag about being a successful governor of a large, diverse state.

In "The Red Badge of Gayness", didn't Cartman blackmail Bill Clinton by claiming to have a video tape?

Since Bush and Cheney aren't running for anything, I'd rather the moonbats expend their ammunition on them, and South Park snipe at Demonrats in episodes like "The Snuke".

I don’t see how people who hate Bush would be interested in a show about him. If there was a cartoon series making fun of the Clintons, I wouldn’t bother to make time to watch it... because I’m not interested in them.

Lampoons like this work best when they’re short pieces in other work. But a whole show of the same lampoon is like just telling the same joke over and over again. It’s funny the first time, and then you want something else.

I think that’s why “That’s my Bush” failed. People that like Bush are put off, and people that don’t like him are bored by a show about him. The lampoon might be even be cute and funny as an SNL skit, but there’s just not enough there for an entire half-hour show, let alone a whole series.
