With all they hype over Stephen Colbert making fun of the president, it seems all the other people who make fun of him have been unfairly brushed aside.

Evidently, late night comedians have made 307 jokes at George W. Bush's expense so far this year — over 100 more than were made during the same three month period of 2005 (197). Yes, the Center for Media and Public affairs have tracked the ramblings of Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Conan O'Brien. The conclusion? Everyone is making an effort to shame Dubya to the public.

"Bush's numbers in public approval polls may be sinking consistently, but he's never been more popular with the late-night hosts," said Robert Lichter, the center's president.

Most of the jokes are about Bush's intelligence, rather than his policies, the center said.

Yeah. You know you're popular when cool kids call you a dumb fuck about 100 times a month.
