LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The animated crack on the current government, "Lil' Bush: Resident of the United States," will become an animated series on Comedy Central in 2007.

The "Muppet Babies"-styled show was originally conceived for the mobile phone platform, Zap2it.com reported.

"'Lil' Bush' is one of the most innovative projects we've seen and a welcome addition to Comedy Central's line-up," said the network's Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development Lauren Corrao.
