Lewis and Nick wrap up their ad hoc Bush month with "Team America: World Police" (2004) featuring their good old buddy Sal. A mindless, directionless piece of dumb-smart-guy satire, this musical puppet show does a disservice to both forms of media from which it borrows so liberally without offering anything of itself. Technical virtues aside, all political/cultural commentary is nothing better than what you'd get from a foul-mouthed fourth grader.
