"Bush Comes to Dinner" is the tenth episode in the second season of the animated series American Dad!.
[edit] Plot summary
Stan enters a CIA essay contest in which the prize is George W. Bush coming to dinner. Stan loses to Duper because he was just one good sentence short due to Hayley. However, President Bush comes to dinner with the Smiths anyway because Duper plagiarized much of his essay from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Hayley, who is a liberal, attempts to question the president about the Iraq War. She is foiled through the use of various traps by Stan. Roger accidentally gets President Bush drunk. Haley sneaks President Bush out of the house with the apparent intention of blackmailing him with evidence of his drunken exploits. She rejects the temptation, however, after Bush defends her after finding out her father had called her a "lost cause," and even says that her underaged drinking puts her on "track to be president." She ultimately deletes the incriminating photos by deciding that he's at least better than Dick Cheney. Steve helps Roger after he discovers a secret code to the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden, hoping the reward money can help Roger purchase Dollywood.
[edit] Cultural references
- When Stan sends the e-mail, the computer sings "let the e-mail soar". This is a play on John Ashcroft's song "Let the Eagle Soar".
- Steve's dream is a reference to Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
- When Roger explains his theory about Bin Laden to Steve, his room is littered with magazine and newspaper clippings connected by string in a nonsensical fashion. This is a reference to a similar scene involving John Forbes Nash in A Beautiful Mind.
- When President Bush is discovered drunk he says that his wife would run him over is a reference to an incident where Laura Bush accidentally killed her boyfriend at the time with a car [1]
- When Roger and Steve gets in the car to find Osama Bin Laden, Steve questioned if Roger is able to drive, Roger tells Steve "I will be after I hear the sobering wisdom of Ms. Dolly Parton." and he puts in a cassette tape and Jolene is played and Roger sings along.
