...While Dubya signed into law the ban on “partial-birth” abortion this week, I found myself repeating the president’s words. There is a photograph of Bush posted on the National Abortion Rights Action League website; nine other white, male colleagues circle around him like a big, happy, arch-conservative family, and Dubya’s grinning like it’s Christmas. This photograph paired with Bush’s stirring quote brings home the dreariness of our current political situation...
...Bush? Weirdly, albeit predictably, energetic I hear. He keeps telling people to work out and on the plane one night playfully teased some staffers sleeping.

Franken, who titled his speech “Democracy in the Age of Dubya,” directed the majority of his jabs at Bush and the right wing in a talk before an audience of over 600 at the First Parish Church...

Realistically, I’m not asking anyone to pawn their iPods tomorrow to help fund Head Start (which, alas, thanks to Dubya, is well on its way to extinction).

The title character of The Madness of George Dubya, a comedy in its sixth month on the West End, is another childish dimwit, who wears red cowboy pajamas and mangles the names of his enemies ("Saddama bin Laden"). Creator Justin Butcher says the play grew out of his outrage at the way Britain was "sleepwalking into war at the behest of the Administration in Washington." Unfortunately, the topical jokes soon give way to a long, obsessively detailed parody...
