Somewhat dim President George W. Bush's White House more closely resembles the set of a sitcom than real life, down to the laugh track.
Was originally conceived as a satire of the sitcom genre rather than a mockery of the George W. Bush Administration, using clichés like the moronic husband, the knowledgeable wife, the wacky neighbor, et cetera.
Karl Rove:
The head of the Anti-Abortion group is here, and I hear he's sort of a freak.
George W. Bush:
What kind of a freak?
Karl Rove:
Well, apparently he was aborted 30 years ago, but survived. He is bitter, he is angry, and he hates being cancelled on.
Timothy Bottoms and Carrie Quinn Dolin are listed as George W. Bush and Laura Bush in the opening credits respectively. In the closing credits they are listed with both their real name and their characters name.
