Barbara Bush (Ellie
Dvorkin) consults a
Doctor (Corey Moosa),
who sings:
He seems to be
completely unimpressive!
Testing shows a problem
with his brain.
Ironically, his condition
is progressive.
It's clear to me he's
criminally insane

Over dinner, Governor Bush informs Laura of
a new plot hatched by the Project for the
New American Century.

New American Century.
Young George, it's revealed,
has only one talent: Torturing
small animals, especially the
frogs which gather in his
family's yard after a good rain.
He ain't got no compassion;
he doesn't seem to care.
He's really on a rampage --
amphibians, beware!
It ain't safe on your lily pad;
evacuate the bogs!
That dumb kid
sure is mean to frogs!

The opening number, "Who's Bush," deals with his early childhood.

The Finger Report
Peenack
It was in Midland, Texas that George met his
soul mate -- and a girl named Laura.
LAURA:
Two people on a moonlit Texas evening.
Your eyes reveal the feeling that you care.
Candlelight and whispered conversation.
It really makes me wish that I was there.
Well, I met you at a party three whole months ago.
You came on strong, we married on a whim.
Now I guess I'm sort of happy you're my husband,
but I wish that you loved me like you love him.
Karl Rove, what do you got that I don't got?
Karl Rove, how do I catch his eye?
It hurt me when they asked him,
"Do you take this woman?"
And he said, "Hold on, let me ask this guy!"

trophy of his conquest: The
moustache of Saddam Hussein.
