"George W. Bush's penis has made it to Broadway"

By GottaLaff

There are some visuals I never, ever want inside my tiny little noggin. Here's one now:

As The New York Times reports this morning, former President George W. Bush's penis has made it to Broadway. And it was not demure in saying so.

Yes, this member of the administration has a cameo in the new Will Ferrell tribute, "You're Welcome America," already one of the toughest tickets in town. It appears suddenly in the show, in living color, projected on a big screen, drawing gasps but also a few ahhs. It goes away and then appears again, provoking more shock and awe.

Must've been a small screen.

I assume Broadway got around the penal-- or in this case penile-- code.

Reviewers have often beat around the Bush in describing, or failing to describe, the body part. [...]

Since Will Farrell could not get the real thing his team searched the Web for a possible likeness.

How did that happen? Director Adam McKay tells Playbill.com, "There are plenty of dudes out there who don't mind having their [penis] used in a Broadway show. I'd love to know whose it is. He's putting himself on the line as much as anyone out there."

The idea of using the image of a penis originated one day in rehearsals. McKay and Ferrell recalled Dubya's comment that he had enjoyed being "a free man" before he entered the White House.

"We were joking that now that he was out of office, he could do whatever he wants," McKay told the Times, "and so I said, 'Let's have him show his own penis,' and Ferrell was like, 'O.K.' He is a frat boy, a big party guy, and you could imagine him doing this...."

I'd rather not imagine that, but hey, if it sells tickets, go for it.

One reviewer noted, "There is full frontal male nudity, ostensibly to imply that President Bush is compensating for something."

Understatement.

Get ready... Here comes my "shortcomings" line. Nah, never mind. You've heard it before. I obviously need to bone up on my penis jokes before I really blow it. Although, I have to admit, I'm having a ball thinking of them. But it's harder than I thought... really hard. Maybe I should pour myself a stiff drink.

I'll be heading off now, before I get myself into real trouble. I wouldn't want you guys to give me the shaft.
