Little Bush: Pathetically Repugnant

Political satire is timeless. Great satire humbles our leaders. Great satire provokes laughter and a common voice. Our President, Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries, and Congressman are human. They are not immortal. Spoofing them reinforces the aforesaid.

Last night, I viewed Comedy Central’s “Little Bush.” The program is not satirical. The cartoon is disrespectful and repulsive. The program featured a Hillary Clinton-Condoleezza Rice lesbian kiss, President Bush-Rice sexual overtones, and a Barbara Bush-Vice President Cheney sexual tryst. The endeavor also mocked Jeb Bush as defective and Laura Bush as chubby.

I respect free speech. This endeavor was not. Little Bush was crude, offensive, and vulgar. The creators, writers, and actors are despicable. Yes, I am a Republican. Had they mocked Democrats, my outrage would not dwindle. Shame upon Comedy Central. America deserves better than your filth.
