I thought that the Bush caricature looked like a gremlin.

That head of Cleese was overexaggerated.

The bush caricature looked more like Jack Nickleson. Also, anyone know the name of that Indian scientist? Hes on the daily show alot, but I cant remember his name. Hes very good, always interesting.

Batman! - I think you`re thinking of the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson... but that`s not him. Looks similar though, almost like a caricature you could say ;D
