The Boss and Bush

Dukes of Hazzard was ahead of its time. Watching a re-run over the weekend, it is apparent that Boss Hog is a larger-than-life caricature of our own real life president G.W. Bush. Anytime something’s awry, it’s got to be those Duke boys...Chase ‘em and Lock ‘em up. The parallels to Bush’s fascination with Iraq post 9/11 and his use of "terror " fear as a crutch are hard to ignore. While Iraq may not be the model of innocence of the Duke boys, maybe G.W. Bush is the real J.D. Hogg.
