3. Yes it's funny
But I find it somewhat disturbing to make a cartoon character out of a war criminal. It is an extension of what the MSM and late night comedy shows like the The Tonight Show and The Late Show etc have been doing ad nauseum for 7 years. It has an effect of making him seem 'harmless'.

Is George W an ignorant, selfish, stupid toad who can't string two sentences together? Yes. But he's also politically savvy, able to stay on message, can lie expertly, has a psychopathic ability to ignore suffering he may cause, and has used those abilities to be used by others to further his family and his "have-more" base to steal billions from the treasury, and slaughtering millions of innocents to get it.

It's like somebody ACTUALLY seriously trying to put on "Springtime for Hitler" right after WW2.

So I laugh, because I can vent that way, but I also shudder somewhere deep inside.
