Bush administration to be cartoon
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 risqué 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. Bush got its start in September as six five-minute clips offered by Amp'd Mobile, a US-based wireless service that packages video entertainment programming with cell phone service. It won't be Comedy Central's first foray into devoting an entire series to poking fun at Bush. In 2001, the live-action spoof That's My Bush, from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, had a short-lived run on the network. Source: CNN.com
