Anti Bush Jab in "Wicked"? — Page 2

I always assumed the "regime change" line was referencing Bush (in a not so subtle way).

The great communicator line always made me think of Ronald Reagan, because he was referred to as the Great Communicator. However, it very easily can be applied to politicians in general.

The references in Wicked don't date themselves nearly as much as lines in Avenue Q ("For Now", which I suppose is very easily changed) and Scoundrels ("The Bushes of Tex..."). 30 years from now, when they revive Scoundrels, that line won't get the laugh it gets now.

Oh use the word "retarded" as much as you want, im on the left in politics and honestly what makes me vomit is liberal guilt, which is where PC stems from especially White Liberal Guilt.

Aren't you considerate. It's so nice that everyone now has permission to use the word "retarded" because you're on the left and don't feel any guilt. There's a difference to being PC (which I admit to being on occasion) and being considerate of the feelings of others. But since we have your permission let the epithets flow.
