All Cartoon Stars To he Rescue with no mention of Bush?
by omoide
How can you do a piece on All Cartoon Stars To he Rescue without mentioning the bizarre intro from then-President and First Lady George H. W. and Barbara Bush?

It's bad enough you're stealing ideas from That Guy With The Glasses, but this really doesn' quite do justice to how really terrible this thing is. Not only did you leave out Bush, but also the part where he goes straight from pot to smoking crack!

BTW, I think that cartoon (which was re-shown in my elementary school as part of a big "D.A.R.E." day and presented by police officers) made me WANT to do drugs more. I mean, I was five. I had no idea what marijuana even WAS.

WTF is "the guy with the glasses"??
Plus they usually keep their videos short - 3 to 4 minutes - so that's why they probably cant include EVERYTHING - I loved this one - thanks for spotlighting it, Slate!
(I saw it in school too - in 7th grade - we thought it was ridiculous even then)
