This one is totally pro-Bush. There's not even a token acknowledgement that Dems are people too.

Fuck those assholes. I don't wanna hear anyone say "They make fun of Both Sides!!" because they don't. They just don't. Bush is ssen as an amiable, slightly goofy man who wants to "bury the hatchet" and is psyched to be working "together" with the rest of the world, while the rest of the world looks a lot sillier, doesn't get to state their side of things, and a bunch of "liberals" decry Bush's second term under a big sign that says "Hollywood." So I guess no one east of Barstow voted Kerry, eh? ....it's bullshit.

If there was any doubt that these pricks were republican shills, that myth has been dispelled by anyone watching that piece of shit cartoon.

1. I knew all along that they were Repub shills.
Of course Leno would show this because he works for Defense Contractor GE. Maybe Leno will fall off his bike at a high speed.

:mad:

27. they say they're independents, but
my experience with independents has been they back Bush but don't want to be lumped in with the Bushies as it might hurt their standing with their following.

5. It's "pro-Bush?"
You watched the one called "Second Term," right?

It slams Bush but good, especially his tax breaks to Wall Street bigwigs, and his screwups in Iraq.

11. I don't know, it did show Bush amending the consitution
with a crayon.... and who was that guy next to Cheney in a speedo?

Might be worth a watch to see for yourself.

RKZ is correct.

If we can't laugh at ourselves too, we deserve to keep losing.

17. I'm all for being able to laugh at oneself
but I didn't find this one funny, I found it insulting. Should I be taking this more lightly? Yes. Can I? No, unfortunately. Lack of sleep is making me pissy.

15. Well, before, you could say "Oh, they're sniping at both sides"
and not be lying. This time, they've produced pretty blatant pro-Bushness, with a couple token "light" "jabs" at the boy king (SS privatization, which a lot of RWers think is a good thing, and got no laughs; "no Gay marriage" across the consitution with a crayon, which a lot of RWers think is a good thing, and got no laughs) to deflect criticism.

Usually, I'm pretty unperturbable about this shit, but this time they've abandoned any pretense of magnanimity and the satire doesn't work.

25. No actually I thought the last one was pro-Bush too
I was offended by parts of that one and didn't understand why people liked it.... and I have a really good self deprecating sense of humor. I was trying to tell Chavez to just go ahead and see it so he can make up his own mind, oh and then tell me who the guy was in the speedo.

26. At least with the last one, you could say, "well.....
they're trying to be equal opportunity offenders."

You can't do it with this new one.

10. JH You-Know-Who.
If we can't laugh at ourselves, the same way we laugh at how stupid the GOP has become, no wonder we'll keep losing.

And you call yourself a "liberal." PAH!

REAL liberals feed babies dioxin until their skin resembles the surface of the moon, then tie their little legs to the back of a truck and their tiny arms to a horse and then tell the driver to "let 'er rip."

Freeper.

That is, if by "socialist," you mean "child murdering sodomite."

Earth to NBC: It is lame, laaaaaaaame.

30. 10% half assed potshots 90% Bush kissass Dem bashing
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 12:13 PM by SideshowScott
there were a couple of VERY VERY VERY weak jokes that were directed at Bush not unlike Fox trying to be " Fair and balanced " when they DO try and the rest was nothing but a cartoon that was made up Bushes ass..
This is what passes for satire these days? Please! Its offical, JibJab sucks!
On Edit: Yes i can take a joke directed at the Dems and the Left but lord is everyone but Letterman chickenshit to really make fun of Bush? The Bush Jokes in that cartoon were just weak.
