Battle of the Network Stars

Okay, so I didn't get to watch any of the convention coverage last night. I've not lived up to my patriotic duty. Neither, apparently did most Americans. I've heard and read story after story this week about how the big three networks have decided to cut back their coverage. And, y'know, it's absolutely fine. PBS does a great job, so I personally say that Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw (plus whatever trained monkey is covering the convention for FOX) can stay the fuck home and let their networks show Who Wants to Completely Lose Their Dignity or whatever piece of dung-encrusted reality trash they want.

Meanwhile, back in New York, my sketch troupe and I have found ourselves in a bit of a quandary. We're doing an anti-Bush show during the Republican National Convention and are trying to figure out what to call it. Initially, we were going with Lick Bush, but, dammit, I think that's just too bumper-stickery.

So I'm asking for your help. Do any of these catch your eye/ear/genitals?

Bush Bash
Kill the President...With Love
George W. Puffenstuff
Right Wing Hootenany
Alphonse D'amato's Persecution Parade
I Came to the Republican National Convention and All I Got Was This Lousy President
Agit-Props to the Peeps
Three Purple Hearts, You Cowardly Fuckbag
Laura Bush Douching
Cheney's Clogged Artery
Fuck the Right
Honkeys for Sharpton
Centrist Flapjacks
Revenge of the Sith
Hey! This Isn't the Lion King!
Get Out the Vote and Shove It Up Your Ass
Bush Has Crotch Rot
Tepid Political Humor
Tic Tac Dough
The Chucklenuts Go Loony

What do you think? Anything standing out? No? Damn.

How about "les Misunderestimated"? "The Bushwackers"?
"Billionaires for Bush".

myself, I like Bush Has Crotch Rot. It's a pun and works on a visual level as well.

I came to the convention one is good, I should say.
Ditto with Puffenstuff.
Let us know when the show is.
