every joke is...(SPOILERS)


...how Bush is a homophobe, a racist, or an idiot.

And yet, he is none of those things. Jokes are only funny if there is some truth in it. Bush doesn't call people "f*gs" or "n*****s" (although I do concede to some idiotic tendencies). He speaks Spanish and picked his cabinet by their competency, not their skin color.

This was a Hollywood-left caricature of what they wish Bush was. His father, Bush 41, was a decent man who saw combat and served his country as head of the CIA and the POTUS. His mother is a sweet and decent woman, strong enough to raise 5 children and keep her family together despite the demands of her husband's service. No mention of Laura Bush, there was nothing to make fun of.

Imagine a similar stage show depicting Clinton getting bl*wn while on the telephone, cheating on Hillary, being impeached and disbarred, explaining what the meaning of "is" is...can you imagine?

Nah, me neither.;-) Anyway, I didn't laugh once at this thin show. Will Ferrell was great in "Old School" and "Stepbrothers", though.

They play to their audience. New York is like 4 to 1 Dem to Republican. Big City folk who love to make fun of conservatives with the vilest curse words possible while ignoring their own hypocrisy at calling out the much worse racism and hatred that occurs in ghettos near them because they are too scared to be anything other than politically correct.

RIP Firefly, Arrested Development.

You are a Bush supporter, no wonder you didn't get it.

Also, having black people in his cabinet and speaking spanish is good PR.


Not everything is about politics, you can make fun of a president, and it doesn't have to be because you are the opposite party as him.

You don't know he doesn't say those things behind the scenes. It's an EXAGGERATION of a person. Bush doesn't say or do a ton of things Ferrel presents in his "character."

And that's exactly what Bush is when it comes to Will Ferrel--a character. It's not meant to be accurate, it's meant to be funny and exaggerated...a caricature of a former President. Sorry if you don't understand humor...you are taking it all a bit too literal.
