Will Ferrell: Proving Once Again that Leftwing Lunacy is Alive and Well in the Bowels of Hollywood

Is George W. Bush being allowed to ride off into the sunset and enjoy his retirement? Not if the rabid left has anything to do with it.

Apparently Will Ferrell hates George Bush so much that he's put together a "comedy" show on Broadway called "You're Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush," complete with dirty sex gags and the usual "let's make fun of his speech patterns" jokes. It's a hot show that everyone wants to see, apparently.

And according to Kyle Smith of the NY Post, who had to sit through this, Ferrell uses a moment of silence for our fallen troops in Afghanistan and Iraq as a set up for his next gag.

This coming from a guy who makes his millions by doing things on screen like dressing up as an elf and eating spaghetti with maple syrup. Okay, I liked the movie Elf. But nothing infuriates me more than these idiots who live the good life, thanks in great part to those who put their lives on the line to keep America free - including clueless dunderheads like Ferrell, who exploit their sacrifices for a tasteless joke about a man whose policies kept America safe from attack for more than seven years after 9/11.

Smith says it best:

The military is the military. It isn't going to whine. It isn't going to organize a team of protesters to cause a ruckus in front of the Cort Theatre. It is just going to keep its head down and drive on. The military's finest men and women will continue to be ignored at best and loathed at worst. No Medal of Honor winner will get even one percent of the publicity Ferrell will generate with this show. For every hundred books written about the failures in Iraq, there will be one paragraph written about the post-surge turnaround.

But is it too much to ask for our war dead to not be ridiculed by wealthy comedians? Maybe those who fly on private jets, live in closely policed communities with surveillance cameras covering every inch of their property and send their kids to private school don't understand that there is such a thing as public security, and that it isn't a joke.

I suppose, though, that jokes about Bush will have to sustain the left for the next four years, as no one dares to make any jokes about The One.

I'd say, "Stay classy, Will," but I'm afraid he probably didn't have any class to begin with.
