George Bush Cartoon With Dick Cheney JibJab Animation

This jib jab style animation takes us on a surreal tour of the Bush Administration and its many misadventures. Like a ride through a fun house, we are taken into the bizarro world of GW. A surprise ending makes this sometimes uneasy jaunt worth the ride.

Decent animation, decent lyrics, but the music nearly put me to sleep.  However it was appropriate for this story.

I guess I wasn't feeling upbeat when I wrote this song so it came across in the music. I still think it was best to go with this tempo rather than to bounce it up more like the Jib Jab shorts.

I'm sure it's popularity would have been enhanced, but I usually go with my gut feelings when I write my songs and then accept whatever criticism comes my way.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

The original song was called "When Johnny Comes Marchin' Home" from the Civil War.

A very enjoyable but sadly accurate production of our current state. How could so many Americans be stupid enough to re-elect this shame of a president! Bush is doing nothing but leading our country toward ruin! I'm glad we at least still have the ability to show Bush for what he is, a "specail needs" president.

I agree, it's certainly is frustrating. Making these short videos has helped me to redirect some of that energy.

Pretty funny, but the only thing that cuts the laughter is the not so funny truth about the whole thing. Whoever gets to be the next president will have a real tough job cleaning up after these guys!

Yeah, that's interesting. I wrote "When Georgie Goes Marchin' Home" in 2005 and although there are some rewriting of history being done in their books (i.e. GW) I'm glad this video is still getting viewings.

Have you seen my video called "Parallel Worlds" about Abu Gharib and my memories of working at a state hospital in the early 70's. Check it out if you get a chance.

1:53 is a great image.

I'm really not sure if I should laugh or cry, because this doesn't even begin to cover Bush's crimes in office. He really needs to join Saddam at the end of a rope!

[RealityBitesYouNow]

I would laugh if this wasn't the truth. What does it take to get rid of these criminals?

[Lisaworld1]

This is the truth! But so many people just turn their heads and look the other way while their sons and daughters, husbands and wifes are getting killed and mangled over a war that is just wrong!
