look at the lyrics... Not only is it Anti-bush, it's talking about our culture wars, and the ridiculousness of it all.
ZEIG HEIL TO THE PRESIDENT GASMAN
BOMBS AWAY IS YOUR PUNISHMENT (carpet bombing anyone?)
PULVERIZE THE EIFFEL TOWERS
WHO CRITICIZE YOUR GOVERNMENT... (doesn't anyone remember freedom fries?)
KILL ALL THE FAGS THAT DON'T AGREE (just look at the ultra-conservative cabinet Bush has set up)
The correlations are too great to be anything but a commentary on Bush's regime, and how he's feeding our culture war.
P.S.-you don't have to name a person in a song to make it about them....

Later, he put on a camo hunting cap snatched from a fan and said, "I'm George Bush. I'm going to take away your civil liberties."
