 "Bush" League: The President Bullied
It's often implied that, President George Bush's actions are like that of a schoolyard bully mixed with the hard-headedness of a third-grader.
Donick Cary took that idea and developed it into the hilarious new program "Lil' Bush." The animated series originally debuted as a cell phone show; it will premiere on Comedy Central on June 13 at 10:30 p.m. The half-hour shows have been expanded from their cellular beginnings, featuring two stories with some musical interludes by Lil' Bush's cartoon band.
In the tradition of Comedy Central's previous presidential satire, "That's My Bush!," the show stars George W. Bush, but reverting him into a third-grader who's living at the White House with his presidential family, including his dad, George H.W. Bush, his mom, Bar, and his mentally challenged brother, Lil' Jeb. He attends school with the likes of Lil' Rummy, Lil' Cheney, Lil' Condi and an assortment of other political guest stars.
Cary and rocker Iggy Pop — the voice of Lil' Rummy — discussed "Lil' Bush" in a recent press conference.
Frank Black from The Pixies is doing voice of Satan in an episode where Lil' Cheney has a heart attack and goes to hell and then bugs Satan so much that Satan has to kick him out of hell.
Jeff Tweedy from Wilco is doing a voice. He's doing the voice of God — or as Lil' Bush calls him, "Goddy" — and tries to help Lil' Bush understand evolution. Henry Rollins did a voice for us where he's playing an Iraq War veteran who gets stuck in Walter Reed and the kids come in and try to fix the place up and annoy him.
And Colin Meloy from The Decemberists is doing a voice where Jeb Bush — who is played fairly dumb in this — he gets hit in the head and becomes smart. His smart voice is going to be by Colin Meloy. And then the weirdest one, we're about 90 percent closed on, is it looks like Boy George is going to do the voice of Tony Blair. He and Lil' George have a special friendship — not gay, exactly, but they do a duet about being buddies.... |
