South Park creators score hit with Bush!
Funny as heck, *That's My Bush!* is a uniter, not a divider, defily fusing the presidency with another venerable American institution; the television sitcom. A robust sendup of both, *That's My Bush!* allows the excesses of one offset excesses by the other.
By Frazier Moore The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Just a few more votes for Al Gore in Florida.. it's hard not to marvel at how different everything might have been.
In short, That's My Bush! does full justice to sitcom conventions (no, Gracie, that's not where polls
A different outcome in the Sunshine State and instead of Comedy Central's That's My Bush! we'd now be chortling at a spoof of the Gore White House — maybe titled That's Al Folks!
Meanwhile, That's My Bush! is doing W. a favor in airing Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. CST, it reaffirms on a weekly basis that Bush, not Gore, won their bitterly contested race. "I can't believe he's actually in the White House," goes the theme song, but, it's official: "He's the president in residence, he's kinda in charge." So there!
While Gore as chief executive would have furnished ample inspiration for Matt Stone and Trey Parker (creators of Comedy Central's hit Parks), their new That's My Bush! has suffered from no shortage of material. In his first 100 days, President Bush has proved fully qualified to feed the comic maw.
nominate their candidates). But unlike, say, NBC's cartoonish DAG, a sitcom about a fictional first lady and her Secret Service agent, That's My Bush! is rooted in what passes for our real world.
When broadcasting's coveted Peabody Awards were announced earlier this month, it wasn't Nightline, CNN or NBC News saluted for outstanding campaign coverage. It was Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Indecision 2000.
On Inauguration Day, CBS News 'Bob Schieffer weighed in on Bush's speech. "He's gotten very good at reading from TelePrompTers," said Schieffer.
"Abortion is a very serious, personal issue," says its hero on one episode, delivering a TV address while the TelePrompTer rolls, "and let me assure all of you that tonight you promised to have dinner with Laura."
Or consider the scene where he invokes a fairy tale to sell Congress on his trillion-dollar tax-cut plan, which he describes as not too big and not too small but just right.
Ooops! It was the REAL President Bush who did that, weeks before the premiere of That's My Bush! As funny as it is, how can it ever catch up with the truth?
