4. I really wanted to like Lil Bush....
The promos made it look promising, but I kind of felt like I was watching years-old "Weekend Updates" from Saturday night live. It just felt a little stale to me.

7. I thought it was hysterical. The "abortion" sequence was too much!!
I thought the opener was great...if the remaining episodes are as good as the first one, which had to expend time to lay out the premise as well (Big Bush is the President, not Little Bush, they live in the White House, and Condi, Rummy, and Cheney are the playmates) I'll keep watching. It's like any number of "Babies" cartoons from Disney or what have you, only on crack! And the humor is vicious, which is the best kind....

9. I totally agree that the premise is solid....
Which is exactly why I tuned in to check it out. Initially, I laughed at Lil Cheney but the unintelligible speech with a recognizable keyword interspersed here and there gag only carries so much weight. Same with his biting the heads off of birds and sucking them dry- it was funny the first time, but quickly becomes the proverbial dead horse. I just didn't find it particularly vicious, given the subject; Methinks the writers were holding (or being held) back.

That said, I'll probably continue to watch it in hopes that it evolves a bit.

5. Such things used to make me laugh
... now they practically make me cry. Will this show actually change anyone's mind? Or will it help foster the notion that this is the "new normal"?

12. It is terrific.
I had seen a preview and didn't think much of it, but after seeing the two episodes on Comedy Central I had to change that view.

Once again, comedy packs more solid information about the administration into 15 minutes than a whole month's worth of Corporate Media broadcasts can seem to manage.

They also show the proper amount of respect earned by BushCo through their actions.

It's a good thing.

That's pretty freakin' funny. I can't believe it's on tv.
