1.) When Trey Parker and Matt Stone reupped with Comedy Central for another three years of South Park, part of the deal was for them to create another TV series.  Originally entitled Family First, it was to place the next President of the United States in sitcom situations.  [...] The deal was signed just as the 2000 Presidential campaign kicked off, and whoever won, Al Gore or George W. Bush Jr., would be the central character.  Boom.

2.) Matt Stone and Trey Parker are going political with a new half-hour live-action sitcom, tentatively called Family First. [...] Stone and Parker say the show will be cast after the presidential election November 7, so they can fine-tune Family First to mock the new first family. [...] The animators-cum-sitcom producers describe themselves as Republicans. Boom.

3.) From the reliably conservative Jewish World Review: Of course, anyone who has watched more than a few episodes of "South Park" knows that Parker loathes liberal "values." He and Stone have blasted casual (and not so casual) divorce, lefty spelunking in the Constitution for special rights for gays and ethnic minorities, and parents who are too busy with other things to teach their children right from wrong. Boom, muffin.

4.) ... and yet again: "[Stone and Parker] sold the idea of a sitcom about the presidency to Comedy Central (half-owned by AOL Time Warner, parent company of TIME) the summer before the election; the recount pushed the show back from its planned March debut and also reduced the number of episodes from 10 to eight. In fact, before November, the only plot they had sketched out had President Gore trying to convince people that he was the real President while being usurped by a life-size robot. And before they chose the presidency as their canvas, the duo considered making a sitcom about the Baldwin brothers." Certain invisible (and conveniently unverifiable) "friends," clearly, never had the proverbial Clue One as to what they were gibbering at you about, plainly. Ah, well.

5.) ... and here's the WWF-style smackdown: Matt Stone and Trey parker publicly identifying themselves as REPUBLICANS. On camera, on FOX. With BRIT HUME rolling the film, no less. OUCHIE -- !!!

Google -- and the facts -- can be your friend.

"RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!"

Hey - don't try to use facts on her! She knows someone who was a producer, and according to her connection, they hate bush - so that's all we need to know!

Google is a listing of articles, news reports and press releases...not facts.

The fact is Comedy Central would never have aired an anti-Gore sitcom and anyone who knows the execs involved would understand that. "That's My Bush" was totally, completely anti GW and no "conservative Republican" on Earth would have created it.

It wasn't satire, parody or even comedy. It was filth directed at the President and First Lady. I'm a working comedy writer in Hollywood who is no shnking violet and it made me sick.

Google all you want...that doesn't change reality.
