Leno tweaks $hrub's nose for a change
"The White House Easter egg hunt will be open to the public, but President Bush will not be there. How embarrassing would that be? It's bad enough he can't find weapons of mass destruction, what if he can't find any Easter Eggs either."

"President Bush has begun his Easter week vacation in Crawford, Texas. It's part of his plan to get in touch with ordinary Americans, to see what it's like to be at home and not working."

1. It's kinda hard to raise your right hand
...and cover your {behind} at the same time.

3. the tipping point...
... is at hand. The comedians will be on the vanguard, but the rest of the media will follow. In a few months it will be as common to hear Bush* bashing as it is to hear uncritical support now.

Ok, maybe I'm being too optimistic, but really - this is very possible.

6. It's Already Happening...
The Comedy world has never been a Repugnican haven. Notice how much the wingnuts glammed onto Dennis Miller, and how his career has gone straight south since.

I credit Stewart and Letterman with being the most unswervingly critical of this regime on their shows and now moving along with the time...more emboldened with their knowing truth is on their side. Letterman was classic last week when he starred right into the camera and called this regime liars! Stewart was the only one to not lob kisses and softballs at Karen Huge.

Plus, there's the movements of people like MTV's "Rock The Vote" (it still opens up a lot of new eyes to politics and usually from our perspective), Russell Simmon's money and push to sign up several million young black voters, the upcoming summer rock tours that will register thousands of new voters, Deaniacs and so on.

Unlike 2000, we all know the other side very, very well now...and they have a record to run on. For young people, that could mean a year or two in Iraq. The stakes couldn't be higher.

Bunnypants bashing is already making a splash when CNN and other channels replay those parts of the late night shows in the morning and afternoon. And we're close to that happening.

Cheers!

7. Thank God Dennis Miller is still around to kiss Bush's ass.
What is this world coming to when Leno makes fun of Bush?
