That's My Bush!
Overview
That's My Bush! is an American comedy television series that aired on Comedy Central from April 4 to May 23, 2001. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, best known for also creating South Park, the series centers on the fictitious personal life of President George W. Bush, as played by Timothy Bottoms. Carrie Quinn Dolin played Laura Bush, and Kurt Fuller played Karl Rove. Despite the political overtones, the show itself was actually a broad lampoon of American sitcoms, including lame jokes, a laugh track, and stock characters such as klutzy bimbo secretary Princess, know-it-all maid Maggie, and supposedly helpful "wacky" next-door neighbor Larry.

Episode 2: A Poorly Executed Plan

Episode 5: The First Lady's Persqueeter
Laura’s 24-year old cat Pun’kin is old and smelly. George realizes it’s time to put the cat to sleep but he’s afraid to talk to Laura about it. Laura notices that George isn’t as amorous as he used to be and is afraid she’s the one that’s old and smelly. While Laura tries to solve her feminine hygiene problems, George breaks Jack Kevorkian out of prison to help kill the cat.
Episode 6: Mom 'E' D. E. A. Arrest
George decides to get tough on drugs. The plan is to make an example of the one-millionth drug offender by arresting him on national television. Former First Lady Barbara Bush is on hand to participate in the event and make her daughter-in-law’s life miserable. Looking to escape the tension between the two women in his life, George drops ecstasy, mistaking it for aspirin, and the anti-drug event turns into a rave.
Episode 7: Trapped in a Small Environment
Laura sets Karl up on a blind date — too bad he never mentioned he was married. George has enough on his plate when environmentalists show up to protest his decision to drill for oil in Alaska. Now Karl’s wife is accusing the first couple of ruining her marriage.
Episode 8: Fare Thee Welfare
George is forced to resign and leave the White House for a trashy apartment and a series of dead-end jobs. Will this be the end of the line for the Bush Administration, or a foundation for a spin-off?
