Great satire. The problem is . . . the skit is not very funny. I am not talking politics here either. It just did not make me laugh.
Not according to George Bush, last I heard... I think he says Eye-Rock. That would have been amusing, too. Still, the mispronunciation is part of the parody.
I thought it was more of an '`ih-' sound, 'ih-rock' as in 'it'. Anyway, unfortunately, in the States at least, the "eye-rack" vulgarism is heard all over the place. You'd think after 4 years we'd at least have gotten the pronunciation down..
Yeah, that's better. Just couldn't think of a better way to type the phonetics. Definitely not eye-rack though - sounds so red-neck when people say it that way, same as "nukular"...
Maybe not that funny per se, but I definitely liked it.
Though the show has become a shell of it's former self. In it's first season, it was the anti-SNL. Seemed to get worse from there, actually getting worse as SNL has gotten better (and worse, and better again, and worse again...). Once a new beacon with fresh, radical ideas for the better, now it only seems to become that which it claims to be fighting against. Collapsing under it's own decadence and greed.
Ok, maybe my analogy wasn't as good, but I was actually alluding to the current US gov too.

I'm sure I'll be lambasted for being a fanboi, but I've always found Mad TV to be horrifically un-funny, regardless of whether they're making fun of Apple, or Osama Bin Laden. Then again, I do find my comic tastes slanting a little more to the vulgar i.e. Jim Norton, Lewis Black, Bill Hicks.
Lol
But I don't get it. If you Americans don't like George Bush, why did you vote him in a second time

Sorry but I just didn't find it too funny... They overdid it, and they just used it as a platform.
Political jokes are everywhere, and I'm so sick of them...

At least half of us didn't. The other half ignore reality and watch Fox news (aka republican propaganda network). Apparently the "department of Bush justice" has been trying to prosecute democrats and promoting Rove assistants who prevent democrats from voting.Lol

The video is pretty funny, though not the funniest thing I've ever seen. Though I'm disappointed I can't get an iMicrowave .

Yea don't group all Americans together there. I sure as hell didn't vote for that waste of life.
To be fair, it IS the Bush DOJ, and he has every right to hire and fire anyone he wants, as every President has had. The problem is that they've been lying about their involvement in the hiring / firing decisions, and that's not okay.
Oh, and I thought that video was quite entertaining!
I did vote for Kerry. But in hindsight, I was better off not voting. They both sucked, and this country refuses to have (believe in) a 3rd canidate. (See Ralph Nader)
