Bollywood Movie Pokes Fun at Bush: Welcome to the last Decade, India

Bollywood movie The President is Coming is a comedy about a contest where the prize is to shake hands with President George W. Bush in his 2006 visit to India. It follows six contestants and their exploits. The producer of the film explained it as a mix of satire about Bush and the different types of Indian eccentricity. The President is Coming is an adaptation of a play by the same name. The movie was released two weeks before the end of the Bush presidency.

Way to beat the fucking horse after its been dead, buried, dug-up, raped, and then beaten again. Granted, I only stumbled across this movie almost two months after its release, but even two months ago this was the kind of material that had already trickled down to the D-list of writers and comedians; and even then we were fucking tired of it. Not that I'm saying George W. Bush jokes are off limits, but jesus-fucking-christ it's been more than eight years of the same shtick: the guy is dumb! I know! That's why I voted against him twice! That's why I stood with my jaw on the fucking floor and shit a brick when America proved just how fucking backwards it is by electing him twice (yes, that totals to two jaws to the floor and two bricks shat).

But listen, those days are over. I think all of America now realizes that he wasn't just a good-ol-boy and he didn't just say stupid things sometimes, but that he was in fact full-blown mentally retarded. And it was cute for a while in a Dan Quayle sort of way when he'd get a saying wrong or not know how to pronounce words... then he started two wars, blew his nose on the fucking constitution, and helped plummet the economy into the ground faster than a skydiver who accidentally packed an anvil. After that... well it stopped being so fucking funny. After that it was like realizing that the slow kid you've been picking on in homeroom for so many months is actually retarded. Then you just feel shame.

So Bollywood, you really want to jump on the fucking bandwagon now of all times? Fine. Whatever. Because you know what? Your shitty movie still isn't going to make any fucking sense to anyone outside of India. Sure, you'll throw some clever dialogue around, maybe some physical comedy, but you know what? I bet people in silly clothes are going to break out into random group dancing scenes, separated by gender. Am I right? Yeah, that's what I fucking thought.

Yeah, fine, I'm being very ethnocentric and jingoistic here, but seriously, George W. Bush has become America's retarded nephew that we lock in his bedroom so he doesn't embarrass us when we have company. You want to start picking on him again? Fine. All bets are off, motherfuckers!
