Now that the Sopranos have faded into television history, a lot of people will be looking for a new television fixation.

"Lil Bush," the new animated comedy show, likely won't fill the void. But it looks like it'll be good for some occasional comic relief.

If you can imagine the Bush White House team as "South Park" characters, you've basically got the concept.

The people behind "Lil' Bush" may need to make a few changes, however. They have a Don Rumsfeld character, for instance, even though the former defense secretary has been off the stage for, oh, about six months. He was whacked Washington-style.

Maybe the show's creators plan to portray Rummy's Washington demise. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Here's a CNN segment on "Lil' Bush" that tells you what you need to know.

Niiice,

Furthering Left wing folklore through comedy. Well if you can't win a debate make fun of them. It's what liberals do 2nd best.

(Demonizing opponents that they can't win debates with is what they are best at)


If one enjoys cartoonish Bush hatred, why not just read Frank James's "Swamp" postings?

Predictably, Frank James omitted the fact that Donick Cary, the creator of "Lil Bush", was and is a bigtime contributor to the Kerry campaign, the Democratic Party, and assorted left wingnut causes:

Of course he is a Democrat. This is not a surprise, and contributing to a cause is permitted in this country.

As for demonizing, I think the Dems are late to this game. It was taken to a level of perfection by the current occupant of the WH. For a "how to" guide see the destruction of John McCain in 2000. The sequel was 2004 with John Kerry. The last installment (which has not been as big a blockbuster) is the Nancy Pelosi Chronicle. She has been stubborn in getting torched. Much to the chagrin of the original demonizers.

I will be watching this show. It looks hilarious.


It's Comedy Central, people. Lighten up.


The comments by Bruce and JD just prove two things: the oh-so-wrong Right doesn't like being on the losing side -- especially not again and again! -- and they have WAAAYYY too much time on their hands.


Frank,

Would you consider yourself a biased blogger?

Please answer.


and your point is JD?

i'd be more embarrassed "coming out" as a rightwing republican like you just have. it doesn't take any brains or common sense to be a republican though. just get in line with the other lemmings that follow president cheney and boy george.


Looks like Mr. Cary just keeps giving.

I'd recommend a more authentic cartoon series like Aquateen Hunger Force. It's funnier, and a better cultural window.

I've seen the previews for this, it looks hilarious. It's going to be on my "must see" list for sure.

They should have called it: "Lil' Commander Guy".

Ah, JD as a victim. Whatever happened to your pulled myself up by my footstraps routine? You guys were terrible winners, but the worst losers.


(Demonizing opponents that they can't win debates with is what they are best at)

The only debates, so far, have been among the parties. Surely you can't be going all the way back to the 2004 Presidential debates when John Kerry mopped the floor with a bewildered and irritated little prince georgie?

As for comedy, we know the neo-convicts have no sense of humor. We've seen Karl Rove's very un-funny and racist "rap" performance. I know you would change it if you could, John, but the First Amendment applies to EVERYONE. Nice to see that you're out on a Monday morning working so hard at your "job". And don't say it.... I'm on lunch.


OK, let's say us right wingers are "lemmings." The what exactly are the Loony Left? Geez, post after post has the exact same stuff: Chimpy McFlightsuit; Bush lied, people died; Darth Cheney; Smirky McFlighsuit; etc.

Now on the demonization front, hmmm the Left demonized Judge Bork, Clarence Thomas, George Bush the father; Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan, Oliver North, the Contras, Newt Gingrich (Time's The Gingrich Who Stole Christmas), George Bush the son, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, Joe Lieberman, Tony Blair, Israel, the U.S. millitary. I oculd go on, but that is quite the list of people.


I think that there are only two points of view on every issue in the world, Liberal and Conservative and that if you're not talking about one you're clearly talking about the other because there are ONLY two. The world is completely black and white and there are only two points of view and you must subscribe to one as completely right and the other as completely wrong. Each and every time, no matter what the issue. I think that's the smartest way to think. You should also assume that everyone who disagrees with you is on the opposite side of the issue and that they can not possibly have any valid considerations whatsoever because as we all know, the OTHER side is 100 percent wrong and yours is 100 percent right. It's a good idea to totally lump all people into categories like that.


It is interesting that the Tribune refuses to have a conservative blogger to counter the liberal writings of Frank James and Mark Silva. When was the last time either one made fun of a Democrat? Is it any wonder that newspapers, with declining circulation and ad revenue, are placing themselves on the scrapheap of history?


Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld were at a bar:

A sleazy, dark out of the way bar. They were sitting in the tattered old corner booth drinking cans of Old Style and scribbling notes on the back of cocktail napkins.

The bartender after an hour or so of this decided that he just had to figure out what the heck was going on, so he walked over to them and asked them.

Rumsfeld told the bartender, "We are planning the invasion of Iraq that will claim the lives of thousands of Americans, maybe a million Iraqi's and one beautiful blonde girl with a huge rack".

The bartender in disbelief asks: "Why the one beautiful blonde girl"?

At that Cheney elbows Bush in the ribs, leans over to him and says, "See, I told you no one would care about the million dead Iraqi's and thousands of dead Americans."


There were three doctors sitting in a bar bragging about who was the better surgeon.


The first surgeon said,"I reattached the legs of a soldier injured in Iraq, and he went on win a marathon."


The second surgeon said, "Oh, that is nothing, I had a child whose hands were cut off in a terrible farming accident, and he went on to become a concert pianist."


The last surgeon said,"Oh, come on, all that is nothing compared to my best acheivement. There was a terrible accident where a cowboy and his horse were hit by a train. All that was brought to the ER were the cowboy's boots, and the horses backside...and that guy is our President now".


Who ever said I was a victim?

I just come here to point out how silly, demented and sometimes downright hilarious you lefties are.

You live in a self absorbed Bush hating world that causes you to act infintile. The funny thing is that you go on as if the rest of the world buys into your immature left wing rants, folklore and cospiracies. Some of you try to play it off like only a pseudo intellectual could.

I mean...have any of you actually read one of John E.'s posts?

John D., Bruce and whoever else are actually laughing at most of you on a daily basis.

So maybe this show is just payback because the left's frustration. Frank James's BDS seems to be flaring up this morning as well. Yeah, Frank, I'm sure this show will make us ALL forget about the Sopranos.


The "Con-Dumbs" have their own comedian shows, Rush, O'Really, Hand-it-to-me, Colter. (I mean, really, who can take any of their shows seriously.

I actually don't have anything to add to this blog, other than to spread the term "Con-Dumbs" in response to the "loony Left".

Lets face reality, this administration
is to Conservative what Intelligence is to what Tennet gathered on WMD's.

This must be the "Dumb"est administration ever.


There once was a guy named John E
Who never received a grade higher than a D
He flunked out of school
Lives the life of a fool
But loves being the looniest of the Trib'Camp Swampy


If you want to read a conservative bias in the Trib, you need only turn to the editorials.


John E.,

You're always on top of your game, but today's posts are exceptional.

But then again, the nutty neocons make it easy.


It is interesting that the Tribune refuses to have a conservative blogger to counter the liberal writings of Frank James and Mark Silva.

Not just interesting, but FASCINATING! Much like the preponderance of conservatives on the Trib's editorial page, and the fact that the paper endorses the Republican in nine out of ten races....


Mrs. J, since NBC's David Gregory, an avowed far lefty, was in on the Karl Rove "rap" routine, does that make him a racist too?
Is Eminem a racist as well since he is a white man doing rap?

Does that mean if Jesse Jackson was to do a Van Halen routine, then he is racist too?

You weirdo Lefties love to throw racism around to suit your deranged ideas, but in fact the true racists in the world is the Loony Left and their politically liberal cohorts.


Anybody remember "That's my Bush" on CC that was taken off after 9/11? FUNNIEST show in years... I miss it!!!


Bada bing, JD, Smidgen, and Bruce!

I love it when you guys feel oh, so picked on. November 06 really hurt, didn't it?


Rick/Sneads Ferry, NC,

You ain't lyin' pal.

But ya gotta wonder why all these nutty neo-con tough guys don't join the military to show us they're all not just a bunch of pansies.

What a bunch of wah-wahs.


Ah so Doogie Zook admires John E. The same guy who has no job (maybe Doogie Zook has no job either), who posts as other people (maybe Doogie Zook posts as others too), John E., who last fall typed in the Swamp to me "I am your worst nightmare. Don't mess with me."

Well, since John E. has made it his hobby to investigate me, I guess he meant it. But John E and Doogie Zook, for that matter, you aren't my worst nightmare, you weirdos are the worst nightmare for all clear-thinking, hard-working people.


This is considered news?
And there is no liberal bias in the media?


Mrs. Jesus, you should change your name to Mrs. John E.

Glad I could join you for lunch.


*yawn*


If you don't like the show, can't you just admit which side of the line you fall on? Either you disagree with the politics, or (like me) you didn't find it funny (seriously, Rummy's still in the cast?). Pointing out the creator gave $500 to Kerry makes us look like nitpickers.


WoW-you guys are uptight. This wasn't even a glowing review, it's a blurb about a new show on a COMEDY channel.
