New JibJab Film Roasts 'DC' Bedfellows

John Edwards in a bikini brief? Dick Cheney making an obscene gesture? The political satirists at JibJab are at it again.
The short film "It's good to be in DC!" debuted Thursday night on NBC's late-night mainstay, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Shortly after that, both JibJab and its partner, Atom Films, made the flash animation piece available for viewing and download on their Web sites. By midmorning Friday, however, heightened traffic made it difficult to reach the JibJab site. In the new piece, which puts an obvious spin on the term "political bedfellows," JibJab co-founders Gregg and Evan Spiridellis again poke fun at President Bush and his rival for the Oval Office, Sen. John Kerry, as well as vice presidential candidates Cheney and Edwards. Other prominent people lampooned in the musical film include President Clinton, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, filmmaker Michael Moore and beleaguered CBS anchorman Dan Rather.

    I thought it wasn't NEARLY as funny as the first, and it was a bit short. But it's still hilarious! :D

    several million of us have dial-up and to try and stream the good/dc film clip it gets choppy and off a full second, it would be easier to just let us download the full version thats 90 seconds not 60 @ 15 megs
