NEW YORK (AP) - Like most political satire, "Lil' Bush" pinpoints the logical extreme of real life.
Take its title character. Lil' George Bush is a pushy if none-too-swift lad making mischief with his pals from Beltway Elementary: Lil' Condi, Lil' Cheney and Lil' Rummy (pint-size versions of Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld). Another thing: Lil' George resides in the White House.
Oh, sure, this new Comedy Central cartoon show does take lil' liberties with the truth. For instance, "Lil' Bush" is set in the present, yet George H.W. (not George W.) Bush is the nation's chief executive. And though Lil' Cheney mutters in an indecipherable growl (seem familiar?), his practice of biting off the heads of live chickens has no basis in real life.
