It's not hard to spot the common theme in three New York theater offerings this season that go by the titles "Bush is Bad," "Bush Wars: Musical Revenge" and "Laughing Liberally."Look at the sophicated title "Bush is Bad".Other probable musicals in New York city could be "Wal-Mart is bad".If you don't know, America's largest city is yet to get a Wal-Mart because politicians have been bought off to prevent that sort of thing.Another title could be "Long commute times are fun".
The Web site for "Bush is Bad," which is subtitled "The musical cure for the blue-state blues," features a grand piano falling on the head of President George W. Bush.
"Bush Wars" promises what it calls a counterattack on "the disgraceful agenda of the Bush administration." It features a dance number with Bush and Osama bin Laden taking their mothers to lunch at the same restaurant, and another with New Orleans residents singing as they await help after Hurricane Katrina, in a dig at the Bush administration's slow response.
There is also a spoof romantic duet between Bush and his chief adviser Karl Rove, and a naughty bedroom scene which has Vice President Dick Cheney literally in bed with a pair of scantily-clad women named after oil companies.
