Bush Toon To Air On Comedy Central

Oh boy, the Bush groupies sure aren't going to like this:

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 risque 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.

For more details on episodes and characters, check out the promo site. Here's the YouTube clip that's been circling around:

Well, after watching that pilot clip, I'd say we can categorise this as dark comedy. Lampooning Bush appears to be the new 'in' thing. Should we take credit for starting a fad?

BTW- That Lil' Rummy is just adorable, eh?
