BUSH JUMPS THE SHARK

[CatWoman]

In recent days it has become increasingly obvious that the Bush administration has mutated into a poorly written television sitcom.

With its main characters giving improbable and shifting explanations for misunderstandings that lead to conflicts with foreign characters, the Bush Administration has descended to the level of implausible sitcom. Since the Bush administration has become a comedy of errors, I think it would be fitting to pay this administration the same degree of respect it has shown the American people by critiquing its latest escapades as the episodes of the sitcom that it has become.

As viewers of “The Bush Administration” will recall, after a shaky first season, it became one of the highest rated administrations of all time as it adopted a heroic storyline chasing one of the worst villains in American history to the mountains of Afghanistan. For a while in its second season, The Bush Administration seemed to be closely in tune with the desire of viewers (including this one) for a heroic story. Surprisingly, however, the Bush writers seemed to lose interest in this popular plot and never bothered tying up the loose ends in the Afghanistan story – and even downplayed their inability to come up with a way of bringing the villain to justice.

The Bush Administration tried to revive this storyline – and its popularity – as it started its third season with a new villain in a new location – this time in Iraq. This new plot certainly had potential. Many reviewers (including this one) thought the confrontation with Iraq potentially had merit if handled thoughtfully.

The writers of The Bush Administration, however, rushed into the Iraq War storyline, apparently without adequately thinking through how they would resolve the story of reconstruction that would follow. The result is that the Iraq plot has become a jumbled mess. This viewer believes the Iraq story would be heading toward a more satisfying conclusion if the Bush Administration writers had spent the time to integrate more international players into the story, rather than rushing to war.

1. Don't forget who the target audience is...the gullible U.S. public

It's not at all unlikely that this sitcom will be renewed for another god-forsaken season.

2. News Flash: Condi Rice to be replaced by Ted McGinty

This season, there will also be a special guest appearances by the Olsen twins, Anna Nicole Smith, and the cast of Friends.

4. Say what you will; it's still better than "Perfect Strangers."

I'd take George W. Bush over Bronson Pinchot ANYDAY! "Co-sin!" God, that show sucked.

Okay, I'm done now, everybody stop shaking their heads, okay?
