Some years ago, Comedy Central did a Bush-based sitcom called “That’s My Bush.” Created by Parker and Stone of “South Park” fame, it was a parody of old-style sitcoms that was distinctly hit or miss in its execution. It did, however, deftly capture what many saw as the essential banality of George W. Bush.
Then the Twin Towers fell and suddenly making fun of the President was no longer deemed acceptable. The show quickly evaporated.
So now it’s five years later and Comedy Central is launching a Bush-based sitcom called “Lil’ Bush.”
No, I don’t REALLY think there’s cause-and-effect involved…
…but it’s making me nervous.
