==Plot== The series centers on the fictitious personal life of President [[George W. Bush]], played by [[Timothy Bottoms]]. Carrie Quinn Dolin played [[Laura Bush]], and [[Kurt Fuller]] played [[Karl Rove]]. Episodes dealt (with deliberate heavy-handedness) with the topics of [[abortion]], [[gun control]], the [[war on drugs]], drilling in the [[Arctic National Wildlife Refuge]], and the [[death penalty]]. Every episode ended with George saying "One of these days, Laura, I'm gonna punch you in the face!", a parody of [[Jackie Gleason]]'s line from ''[[The Honeymooners]]'', "One of these days, POW!!! Right in the kisser!" The show was more of a spoof of the banality of television [[sitcoms]] in general, rather than a cutting political satire. As ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' put it:<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.avclub.com/thats-my-bush-the-definitive-collection-1798202112| title=That's My Bush - The Definitive Collection| author=Nathan Rabin |newspaper=[[The A.V.

While audiences waited for Parker and Stone to tear into the [[George W. Bush administration|Bush administration]], they instead attacked the hoary conventions of the 1970s and 1980s sitcoms, which proved a surprisingly apt target for [[satire]] and [[pop-culture]] riffing.}}
