Though I understand the frustration in the OP, it’s hard to empathize too much when a person complains that his relatively no-value-added entertainment (other than its value as entertainment) is put off for two minutes to make room for some national/international news. And yes, maybe Bush said nothing that hadn’t been said before (I wasn’t watching TV, so I wouldn’t know), but even _that_ fact is relevant. I find Bush a failure as a leader on many levels, but that doesn’t mean that when he speaks (about something or nothing at all) I can’t learn about my leadership and my country. ---

I must confess to being confused. I’m watching the Bears on ESPN, and haven’t seen either Tha Family Guy or Dubya all night. ---

I’m just going to say, If the President(ANY PRESIDENT), the Dali Lama, the Pope, etc, wants to interrupt Family Guy, it had better be about something that can’t wait. Like say: [ul] [li]The Second Coming of Christ[/li][li]Somebody important has been killed/taken hostage[/li][li]Something big and/or important has blown up.[/li][li]The US is now under Martial Law. [/li][li]Nuclear Missles have been launched [/li][li]A rock the size of Texas is on a collision course with Earth[/li][li]Everyone in the US gets a free Xbox 360[/li][li]etc. [/li][/ul] “Iraqis have had Free elections. Stay the Course” is not something I consider worthy enough to prempt family guy, particulary since the election thing has been in the news for the last week and Bush has never said anything but “Stay the Course”(making it offically NOT NEWS). News would be: “Iraqis are now free. We begin a phased pullout tomorrow”. or “Iraqis are now free. I’m sorry for making a bad call and invading” or “I fucked up on the WMD thing, and the invasion, and a couple other things. Being the honorable man I am, I’m resigning at noon tomorrow”. ---

You know what? If you crazy ranters think that this sort of rhetoric: Eat my shit George W Bush is going to work in your favor in 2006 or 2008, I humbly suggest that you keep it right up. ---

Yeah, they were indeed suggesting it be used as the official Democratic campaign slogan. ---

I don’t like Bush. I don’t like what Bush has done, is doing, and likely will do. On top of that, he is a miserable speaker that is literally painful for me to watch. That said: he is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. No matter what dribble he is spewing, it will ALWAYS be more important than Family Guy. He could get up and sing “I’m A Little Teapot” for two hours and it will make more of a difference in our world than Family Guy will. For fucks sake, I hope most of you are exaggerating just to be funny and don’t honestly believe that fucking Family Guy is more important than something the “Leader of the Free World” has to say. Sheesh. ---
