Talk:Fictionalized portrayals of George W. Bush

untitled

This article was created as a result of discussion on the George W. Bush talk page, in order to maintain this information without adding to the main article and continuing a revert war. Jpers36 06:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

National Headline

I remember reading a national newspaper about 2.5 years ago that the criticism of Bush on SNL had taken on a much more harsh nature than with previous presidents. I think it was New York Times, but it might have been Rolling Stone. I don't know if anyone could help me out, but this seems like an important addition. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll see what I can find. --Iriseyes 00:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Doonesbury

In the political comic Doonesbury President George W. Bush was symbolized by a Stetson hat atop a giant asterisk (a la Roger Maris), because he was Governor of Texas prior to his presidency (Trudeau accused him of being "all hat and no cattle.") and also due to the controversy surrounding the 2000 presidential elections.

Can someone explain what this has to do with the elections? - Che Nuevara 19:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

No clue, I took this text directly from the Doonesbury article. --Iriseyes 03:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

It should be pretty obvious what it has to do with the election: it references the debate about whether Bush "really" won, on account of his getting fewer votes than Gore and the disputed result in Florida that put him over the top in the electoral college. If you're familiar with Roger Maris's home run record, you know that for many years there was an asterisk placed beside it in the record books. Because it was questioned at the time whether, due to the lenghtened baseball season, his surpassing Babe Ruth should actually be counted. Likewise, this asterisk represents a (rhetorical) question as to whether Bush's presidency should be counted. 71.203.209.0 01:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Comics

There are more comics on George W Bush for e.g. DubyaMan http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1430438.cms It been running for a very long time and should be added. if there is a reason why it shouldnt be added please post here.

Etc.

There's also Steve Bridges, Robert Smigel on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and others I'm sure. But isn't "fictionalized portrayal" redundant? Шизомби 13:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Hm, I guess it is a bit redundant, but "Portrayls of GWB" just doesn't sound right to me. --Iriseyes 04:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The Master of Disguise?

What about the appearance in The Master of Disguise? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.36.119.134 (talk) 10:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC).

Song?

Didn't he have a song about him and his opponent for president fightning and calling each other names like " A texas wiener?"

That would be JibJab. - auburnpilot talk 00:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Anything?

There's nothing else about the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) thing? It was an impersonater right? No clue who?

Expand notice

I took out the expand notice. Maybe it applied a few months ago, but I don't think it applies anymore. Another Slappywag Among Petorians 19:37, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Bush 2DTV Advert.jpg

The image Image:Bush 2DTV Advert.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:

The Simpsons

George Bush father and Bill Clinton had appeared in many cameos in the Simpsons. George W., despite being frequently criticized (either himself or his administration) by indirect means (such as in Bart-Mangled Banner, or random quotes here and there), hasn't been included at any notorious cameo during all of his presidency. Is there something about this that may be said in this article? Has some explanation ever been given, or did he simply not appear, period?MBelgrano (talk) 13:38, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
