Bush to Bartlett: “You’re Fired!”

(FiniteTimes.com) – Citing his powers as Commander in Chief, President Bush has cancelled the TV drama The West Wing for “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”

“It’s a misinterpretization of what we’re trying to do here,” Bush said at a Thursday press conference. “The terrorists think we’re all about feelings now, and we’re not. We’re about kicking ass. The West Wing did not kick enough ass.”

The West Wing was one of the members of the so-called “TV axis of evil” that President Bush attacked in a major speech last November. Of the other two in the axis, only Commander In Chief remains on the air. Comedy Central’s That’s My Bush was cancelled years ago.

Bush’s right to create or destroy television programming was one of the central questions that came up during the Alito Supreme Court nomination hearings. At the time, Judge Alito indicated that he felt that the president did have this power.

A remake of Leave It To Beaver starring the President’s twin daughters is expected to fill The West Wing’s slot in next fall’s schedule.
