[Ichneumon]

Anything bashing Bush is considered "art" these days.

Here's a thread on a superb essay pointing out the vacuousness of Bush-bashing in an attempt to be "clever" or "with it": Satire has forgotten its function. Excerpt:

A really good attack on George Bush has not yet been done, mainly because resentment is being asked to do the task of imagination, and contempt the work of inspiration. The people who work him over are far too pleased with themselves to bypass self-congratulations over how superior they are to their target, to bring either wit or cogency to what they fondly conceive of as their mighty indictments.
