Iraq 2003 (1x67)

Air date: Mar 08, 2003

The X-Presidents make a film about Iraq after reviewing the pro-war videos featuring Bugs Bunny (based on a real life World War II cartoon called Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips) and Grape Ape in a pro-war video that promoted the Invasion of Grenada. When the X-Presidents give SpongeBob a hard time, The Powerpuff Girls show up to rescue him only to be beaten up badly by the X-Presidents. While noting that the incident caused a PR nightmare, George W. Bush stated that the Pentagon doctored the footage to make it look like the Powerpuff Girls were cast as invading Arabs. Featuring the voices of Tom Kenny as SpongeBob SquarePants, Jeff Bergman as Bugs Bunny and Grape Ape, Amy Poehler as Blossom, and Robert Smigel.
